Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1886-01-20

| at Herman last Thursday night.
c. NJ. Stevens and AL. E. Stewart
were registered at the Metropolitan
last Saturday.
A. Dewey, of the Graceville Trans
cript, was in Morris last Friday and
made the TRIBUNE pleasant call.
Our old correspondent, al. Il. Muir
ply, of Fairfield and Clontarf Is now
in the employ of the Stevens County
abstract agency, and resides in Morris.
He can now employ all his leisure
hours with pecuniary profit, and as
he writes us, is now "master of the
situation" We are glad to know of
his good fortune and wish him success
| in his new tield.-Benson Times.
The first in the series ofclub dances
was given in Phoenix Hall last
Thursday evening. There was large
attendance and those present had the
jolliest kind of a time. The second
dance in the series will be tomorrow
| evening in the same hall, when still
larger attendance and another good
| time is confidently expected.
Because of incorrect Information
/ the TRIBUNE made an unjust crit
| icism last week upon the village
| council. It seems that that body has
caused the engines to be placed in
| perfect repair after each fire and was
in no way to blame for the failure of
the engines to work when first taken
to the school house fire. This, the
| anaende honorable.
Rumors are afioat that there are
several cases of glandered horses in
this section. To permit sucn danger
to continue is a crying sin. The state
has marked out the course to follow
when this disease exists, and there
should be no delay in extermlnating
animals afflicted. The state board OF
health will furnish all expert to ex-
anime horses.-Graceville Transcript.
The Hancock Dramatic Company
visited Benson on Thursday evening
last week and gave the benighted
citizens of that place all opportunity
to hear "Leuva, the Pauper," The
opportunity was improved, The hall
was filled to over-fowing. Fully a
half hundred couples participated in
the social no which followed the en-
tertainment.
Uponthe Pleasant View Stock farm,
owned by r. G. Jefferson and man
aged by E. P. Watson, are kept all
kinds of fine stock, Blooded horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs are kept in
large numbers. Experience, however,
has shown sheep raising to be SO
much more profitable than the rails
ing of other kinds of stock, that sheep
are to receive greater amount of at
tention in the future. Fewer horses,
cattle and hogs are to be Kept and
| more sheep. No doubt other farmers
In the county can benefit themselves
by making changes in the same d.
| rection.
James Michalstetter was in town
last Saturday and filed the village
with posters etc. advertising the won
derful properties OF A. B. G. Soap.
He made arrangements with Larson
& Nilsson to handle this soap and all
wishing to try it can get it from that
well-know firm. There are large
number of valuable articles that are
to be given to the holders of lucky A.
| B. G. numbers. For particulars re-
| garding them go also to Larson &
Wilson's. Mr.. Michelstetter made
arrangements for advertising the A.
B. e. soap in he TRIBUNE which IN
sures ready sale for it. A. B. G..
| soap is extensively and continually
advertised which accounts for the
extent to which it is introduced and
| the wonderful success of its manu-
factqrers.
In the matter Of county offices, the
politicians of Morris have been ex-
ceedingly selfish. They have always
gone for everything in sight and have
usually succeeded in getting what
they went for. But very few of the
county offices are or ever have been
held by any other than Mnrris men.
This is hardly fair and more of
spirit of generosity should prevail in
| the fqtpfe, Hancock for instance,
has number ofexceilent men, whom
the people of the county should take
pleasure in honoring. AS is already
known, almost every office in the
county is TO be filled this year, When
the time comes to fill Them. the TRIB.
UNE believes that one, at least, of the
best of them, say the authorship,
should he conceded to some one who
now lives In Hancock.
Tank Zee, who will be in Morris on
Friday and Saturday, Jan. Goth and
3Oth, and deliver three lectures under
the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society
of the Congregational church ~ be-
coming well and favorabfy known In
MINI esota. He has visited many OF
the more prominent places in the
state and all who have seen him and
; heard his lectures, speak of him in
the highest terms. Newspapers in
variably pronounce him an instruc-
tive, interesting and trustworthy
speaker. The Ladies Aid Society
have taken great pains i'll arranging
for these lectures aud are also expend-
ing a considerable sum of money,
The people generally should show
, their appreciation by attending. AS
this is the only place in this part Of
the state to be visited by Tank Kee
, it is probable thai people from Her.
