that farmers are taking better care OF
farm machinery than they used To do.
AS rule reapers, mowers, plows etc.
are we'll cared for. There are. how
ever, too many farmers who still
leave their machinery exposed to the
weather. Machinery costs all farmers
q considerable portion of the proceeds
OF their crops and 1t ought to be care
fully cared for.
Mrs. II. l.. Williams has taken
possession of the Perkins House. Mrs.
Williams has conducted a boarding
house in Morris for number of years
and has been very successful. Now
| that she has taken a larger house ana
can accommodate larger number
Of people, she will probably meet
with still greater success. The Perk-
ms House has been thoroughly rem
ovated and is in first class con-
dition. Mrs. Williams keeps every
thing neat and tidy, sets u good table
and the Perkins House under her
management may be safely recon-
mended to all who wish home ike
| place in which to stay.
People who had occasion to FREE
uuent Pacific Avenue will remember
the immense piles of wood that have
| been in &. Cogel & Co.'S wood yard
| during the summer. Nothwlthstand-
! ing the fact that this firm IL constant
Iy adding to their supply. their yard
was cleaned out last week and for one
day they were entirely out OF some
kinds of wood. This will give some
idea of the large quantities OF wood
sold by this firm and by estimating
and adding the amounts sold by L. NJ.
Lowater and NJ. Diedrich, one can
form an idea of the quantities of wood
sold at this point. The quality and
cheapness of fuel here does an impor-
tant work in attracting trade to the
place. Several train loads Of wood
have recently been received and all
the dealers in Morris are now well
supplied.
G. A. J. Overton post &. a. X. Will
give an categorical entertainment, en-
titled "Our Nations Struggle" in the
court house on Thursday evening,
Dec. 8, 1886. The prominent features
will be tableaux aud camp scenes
representing the principal stages OF
the war. These will DC introduced by |
q dialogue between the Goddess of
Peace, the Goddess of Liberty and the |
God of War. Neither the comic nor |
the serious sides of camp life will be
overlooked. There will be an exhi- |
bition drill 10y the post Fife and Drum |
corps. This patriotic allegory was |
written and arranged tor Grand Army |
posts only and none should fail to |
hear it. The people Of Morris have
had frequent opportunities for know
ing that Overton post never does any
thing by halves and that all of its en-
tertainments are full OF merit. For |
this reason we feel safe In predicting a |
large attendance on Dec. 9th.
The election is over and the results
are known. The defeated are through |
morning or ought to be, and the
victorious have had their time to re-
joice and be glad, so let US all turn in
and do something for the general good.
The summer is especially the season
to work. but In winter we should not
be idle. If we have cultivated the
soil let us now cultivate the mind and
heart, while the soil is taking its
needed rest. Let us cultivate sOci- |
ability of the right sort, friendships |
that are true aspirations that are
honorable and that intelligence that
builds men up in spite of their en-
vironments. Let US not neglect home,
and family and school, and neighbor-
hood, and society and church, for
they are all primal factors in our
civilization and bring us that which
money will not buy. An eminent
statesman once said he hoped to be
defeated so that he could go homo
and get acquainted with his wife aud
children and enjoy life. He was a
philosopher as we'll as statesman
and we trust that all the victorious rs
we'll as the vanquished will now join
il heartily and make the utmost Of
our opportunities for real prosperity, |
contentment and happiness.-Monte- |
video Leader.
"The wicked flee when no man |
pursueth.' 1t was probably guilty |
conscience that caused Auditor
Giltinan to write that letter which ap-
peared In The Sun of Nov. 18th. How
ever, the letter was written and Inn.
PEELED the TRIBUNE In its last issue to |
give the cold, hard facts regarding
the now much discussed tax list pub
lication case. After reading this |
article, MIR. Glltinan evidently has
nothing more to say and would prob
ably like to find some one who will |
kick him hard for eyer writing that |
uncalled for letter in the first place.
The TRIBUNE also called attention to |
the base insult given the Scandina-
VANS by Mr.. Giltinan, whereupon
that gentleman sneaks into hole and |
endeavOrs to pull the hole in after |
him, by causing his organ up-the-
street to throw up a few insinqations
regarding the tribune. Nothing is
stated and as even the insinuations
are false, the TRIBUNE has no dIspo-
sition to follow him into his place Of
retirement for the purpose Of again
exposing his cringing form to public
view. In regard to the false charge |
and silly attack made upon Mr..
Munro and his management of the
TRIBUNE In years gone by, 1t is I'M
necessary for US to say anything. Mr..
