Morris tribune., 1886-09-01


ing its work in st. Paul last week,
formed itself into an excursion party
and visited the various portions of the
Northwest trayersed by the different
lines of the Manitoba road. The party
visited Morris on the return trip and
were at the Metropolitan Hotel for
supper last Saturday evening. There
was an unusual amount tofintelligence
in the company and the many advan-
tages which this section offers for
diversified farming were duly noted.
Again the TRIBUNE calls attention
to the fact that on Tuesday, Septem-
Der, 14th, a large number of the real
estate dealers of Minnesota will be in
Morris for the purpose of forming n
state real estate dealers association.
These men should be given opportuni-
ties for seeing Morris and as much of
the farming country adjacent as pos
sible and ample me ans should be pro-
vided for their entertainment. The
real estate dealers of the state are an
important and Influential class of men
and Morris will hardly be able to
show them too much attention.
Prof. Knapp, of Ann Arbor, who
accepted the position of Principal of
the Morris public schools has been
guilty of a very shabby and dishonor-
able trick. After leaving the Board
of Education to expect his coming all
through the summer, he has at the
eleventh hour given notice in n sneak
ing manner that he will not be here.
This compels the Board to find an
other Principal and necessitates the
postponement of the opening of the
schools until Monday, Sept. 18th, by
which time it is thought that another
Principal can be secured. BY the
way, how did man of the stamp
Knapp has proven himself to be get
so many unqualified recommenda-
tions?
To the passers by. it is very evident |
that something has happened at j. E.
Danielsons Minneapolis store. The |
large pile of boxes in front and the |
immense pile of new goods under |
which Mr.. Daniclson and his clerks |
are buried inside the store shows
what that something is. Last week
there was visit to the cities and this
Is the result. There is new stock of
notions, of dry goods of all kinds, of
ladies cloaks, of boots and shoes, of
groceries and in factin every line of
The demands of the place are met by
a large assortment and of the better
grades of goods in each department.
Call and see Mr.. Danielson and look
his new stock over. See his new ad-
vertisement which appears elsewhere.
Last Thursday collection of grains
fruits and vegetables was sent from

ting it up.
Let every farmer and everybody
else attend the fairs this fall. Select
the best specimens produced on the
farm and place them OH exhibition.
In that event there will be an ab-
sence of the remark often heard after
an examination of the exhibits: II
have better things at home" When
an extra specimen is seen find out
how it was produced, ask all about its 6
cultivation. This will Dring practical t
instruction to each individual visitor,
We all want to know how to raise the l
best of everything that is produced on t
a farm; we must profit 10y each others {
