r. A. Costello, of Graceville, our
next representative, was in Morris
yesterday, anu made the TRIBUNE q
pleasant call.
County commissioner Macarthur
and county commissioner-elec
Lofthus were callers at the TRIBUNE
office on Monday.
Rev. Thomas McClary lectured in
the Methodist church of this place
last Monday evening. He spoke of
the origin of type and the press and
gave an interesting account of the
early history of printing. He also
spoke of the great advancement in
this line and of the present rapid
methods of making books and papers.
Next the speaker enlarged upon I'll
effects upon the minds of the people
of the various kinds of literature. He
believed that pernicious books,
pamphlets and papers are a worse
curse to the young than rum. He al
so showed the great benefit to be de-
rived from the reading of good books
and urged the purchase and Perusal
of books that tend to instruct and en-
noble their pOssessOrs. Members OF
the Methodist congregation are con-
templating the establishment of q
library and this lecture will have a
tendency to help the matter along.
This county is rapidly developing.
1t must be admitted that many set
tiers who came here in the rush of
the first settlement, years ago, were
not practical farmers and have failed.
They have gone now and have left
their farms unoccupied. This, how
ever, is because of no fault of the
county. Now men of means, who are
practical and successful farmers, are
coming in and are taking these
abandoned farms, improving them,
and are aiding materially in the
permanent advancement of the cOun-
ty. Among recent newcomers may
be mentioned such men as c. Z.
Camp, T. r. Thornton, and others.
These men are here to stay and others
like them are coming. This means
that IN few years all vacant lands
will be occupied, never to be deserted
again. This is kind of second
growth, but is vigorous and lasting in
its nature. Great additions to the
wealth fthis county will be made
in the next few years.
Helgeson for auditor, and Favrow
for treasurer, merit support,
as they not only are
men of merit, of worth, and of able
experience, but Hancock and Don
nelly's faithful and always loyal sup
port of Republican nominees has
placed not only the Republicans of
the village of Morris, but the entire
county under obligations to repay.
In justice, and in honor to the above
gentleman and to their respective To-
calities, the Republicans should, to a
man endorse and sustain them. They
are worthy to fill the positions they
seek, and for which We have laid our
selves, by nominating them, under
moral obligations to support. We
therefore urge it as duty, as a mat
ter of justice, as right, and for the
best public interests, that Messrs.
Helgeson and Favrow be endorsed
and supported, not only by every trus
Republican, but by everyone, irres-
pective of party who deserves to see
positions of public tsust in the hands
ofcompetent men. Remember, Re-
publicans, we are morally obligated to
sustain our nominees, and it is due
the answering allegiance of Hancock
| and Donnelly that their past staunch
and handsome support as Republicans
be remembered and recognized by al
endorsement of the candidates from
thoge localities.
