We wish to call the attention of
every body interested in sewing
machine to the fact that there are
now in daily use in the village of Nor
ris $50 machines, of which the Singer
heads the list with "a machines.
The next on the list numbers IL, thus
giving us more than six times as
many as any machine. and within one
Of one-half Of all the machines in use.
If this IS not enough to convince
every one that the Singer is the
cheapest and best machine to buy we
can show you two machines, that
have run over twenty years, and three,
that have run over seventeen years,
that are doing good work today. Our
machines are very much improved,
and our two new machines take the
cake. If your old machine don't do
good work see our manager and he
will put you in one of our new ma
chimes, and pay you all, and more,
than your old machine is worth.
We give the longest time to pay in
on the smallest payments of any
other machine company; and for cash
will sell you for less money than any
other dealer in town. Orders given
to our travelling men or left at VIM

attention Of our manager.

On Tuesday afternoon at the Sis
ters of Mercy convent chapel very
solemn and impressive ceremony was
performed-the reception by young
lady of the veil and habit of religion,
she accepting a convent life in pre-
ference to the f1eeting and transitory
pleasures of the world. The csre-
mony was the first Of the kind per-
formed in Morris, and being also the
first ofthe kind witnessed bymany pres
ent it was particularly interesting.
The sudden change of the fashionable
dress of the world for the veil and
habit is one of the striking features.
On her first appearance at the altar
the novice elect is enrObed in dress
of fashion, which is soon after ex.
changed for the convent garb. Rev.
Father LANCE officiated. and deliv-
cred an impressive and eloquent
sermon. The religious name of the
novice-elect is Sister Mary Camillus.
She was known in the world as Miss
NJ. A. Hayden, and came here from
Canada. where her relatives reside
This is step preliminary to profess
sion of religion. After the reception
| the novice remains in the convent
two years before profession, during
which time she is at liberty at any
time to reenter the world again.

COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR Sun:
As THE Sun is supposed to be an
illumination, will you kindly let it
shine upon the darkness which per.
vades our village during these nights
when the moon casts her rays upon
others. There are many of the citizens
of this village who would like to know
for what purpose these representa-.
tives. the council. caused lamps to be
stationed at the corners of our streets!
Are they furnished as ornaments to
the village? If so, we suggest that
between the hours of p. m. and 4 a.
M. a small boy be employed and
stationed at each lamp with wax
taper, in order that the tax payers of
the village may have an opportunity
to admire their beautiful proportions
during the hours when the sun fails
to shine. Respectfully,
A TAXPAYER.

A Batch OF Interesting Items from Our
Neighbsrs.
Most all the children in town have
been sick with some kind of rash.
Farmers had a dusty time seeding
this spring.
Our weather took cold last week
and has been quite chilly lately.
Saturday was a busy day for our
merchants and other business men.
Mrs. Rankin is always ahead in the
line of poultry. She has already
seventy little chickens.
Our marshal looks the village over
in vain to quell some riot. All is quiet
and peac cable.
Mrs. Freese, sister of Mrs. S. Com
stock, leaves this week for Pennsyl-
vania.
Mrs. G. w. Cakes departed for St.
Paul last Saturday where she expects
to reside this year. May success at
tend them IN their new locality.
Mr.. Simpson Ferrel was suddenly
called home last week, and took the
train Saturday night, leaving a pleas
ant half finished visit at our western
country, to enter into business at his
home in Bloomsbury. Penn.
Miss Mary Hunter was attending
school at st, Cloud when the cyclone
struck the town. She, and quite u
number of others were uShered into
the cellar; but no damage was done
to the home, with the exception of a
general shaking up. Mary hopes she
may never again be spectator to such
terrible storm. Anxious ones at
home waited in suspenseto hear of her
safety land Joy succeeded sorrow when
a telegram announced her alive and
well.
Our town was visited by a blaze last
Wednesday that called our citizens
to exert themselves in order to avoid
Il conflagration. Mr.. Fenton's little
boy, aged six years, was out in the
barn trying new brand of cigars.
and set fire to the barn. Their team
of horses and two cows, barn belong
ing to C. w. Churchill, also barn of
r. Blackman were totally consumed.
The fire was extinguished a few feet
from J. Erickson's lumber yard. 1t
was a wonder some of the houses on
that side were not devoured, but luck
lily they escaped.
This spring the prairie fires seem
TO be more than usually disastrous to
our forest trees and buildings. The
trees east of Mr.. Begg's place along
hi oh fnvx &c
set out by Mr.. Hodges and his men,
are very badly damaged. The willows
are charred, and many of the large
trees are are burned off, and lie here
and there scattered in all directions.
1t is pity to see the trees that we
need so much in this country destroy
ed in this manner. Let us try and
rotect our selves against such catas-
trophe in the future.
On Sunday morning last, Rev. E. n.
Ruddock conducted very interesting
Easter service at the village church,
and in the afternoon at Lake Emily
church, to large congregations. The
service being something out of the
regular order of such services, as in
stead of the usual prose sermon, Mr..
Ruddock told the ''Gospel Story III a
finely composed poem written for the
occasion, which he made intensely in
teresting and displayed no mean de-
gree of literary talent. The day SER
vice was closed with an interesting
Easter concert by the sabbath school
scholars. The church was made at
tractive by the beautiful display of
floral decorations, text and mottos.

EXCELSIOR BAND.
Contributed by Band Boy.
The Excelsior Band, the Excelsior Band,
Long may those sweet musicians stand;
A happy and festive crowd
Which blow their tooters long and loud
First, CARNEY with his solo "B,'
The leader is, tits plain to see,
While Youngquist on first cornet,
Helps CARNEY out sometimes you bet.
Leonard Dye OH E fiat blows,
And also sometimes blows his nose;
He wears cadet suit tits new
And blows his horn both loud and true.
O, Berkin with his second "B"
Blows strains of sweetest melody
And Corners with his Alto horn
Blows after beats from eve til morn.
Young Gafrney next to Corners sits
And gives to the first Alto fits,
While e. J. Elmquist from Morris town
Is holding primo Tenor down.
Chales Rauscher on trombone
Tries hard to make his presence known,
While Tollifson from India strand
On Baritone is right on hand.
On deep toned Tuber Norgord blows,
And by his execution shows
That he is not new beginner,
For he blows it like an old Dutch sinner.
Then Kemp on the tenor drum
With rapid moveme nts makes it hum.
And Cummings with his bass drum stick
Rain blows on calf skin fast and thick.
And Mr.. Watzke we know him well,
He often gives us band boys -
But let us not from duty swerve
We don't get half what we deserve.

Washington territory is said by
: GoNesnor Squire to havea population
OF It's, 900. A census taken last spring,
however, gave a result considerably
smaller. The immigration this year
has beenlarge, and the preseut popula-
tion is probablynot far from $50, 600.
It's valuation Of taxable property
somewhat exceeds fifty millions, not
far from that OF the city Of Worcester.
Financially the territory is in admir-
able condition. It has had no debt
since 1870; its rate of taxation is two
and half mills on the dollar, or
twenty five cents on the hudered dol
lars, and there is cash balance OF
one hundred thousand dollars in the
treasury. The public school endow-
ment consists Of more than two mill
ion acres OF land, much OF it already
valuable, and the total expenditure
for school purposes the past year has
Seen $267, 1000. Washington is ready
come into the Union as astate.
