The st. Paul Globe is the only city
daily that contained an account of the
manner in which Decoration day was
observed in Morris. 1t is to be hoped
that the local correspondents of the
other dailies will wake up sufficiently
| during the next two weeks to become
conscious of the fact that the day was
| celebrated.
The care exhibited and the labor ex-
pended by the members of the Over
ten Post in making preparations fol-
the observance of Decoration day
and the tact and skill with which all
the exercises of the day were carried
out, reflects great credit upon them.
| G.. a. J. Overton Post never does any
thinghalf-heartedly and never fails in
what it undertakes.

them, though.-Kimball Graphic.
A workingman who cares for his
family states that "twO drinks of
whisky costs pound and n half of
beefsteak; two beers, dinner of
mutton chops; one cocktail an egg
plant or head of cauiitiower. What

domestic economy.-Ex.
The observance of Decoration Day
is becoming more general. AS the
years pass by, people begin to realize
more and more the debt of gratitude
they owe to those who sacrificed their
all for human liberty and the preser-
walton of the Union. Memorial exer-
cises, while awakening the tenderest
memories, also arouse all the better
and more patriotic sentiments and the
time will soon be, if, indeed, it has
not already come, when Decoration
Day will be the best and most sacred
of all the Nations holidays.
We were told yesterday Of a Maine
Prairie farmer who still had his last
years crop of potatoes on hand.
When asked why he had not sold
them when they were worth in this
market fifty cents per bushel, replied
that he did know that they were
bringing that price, and then con-
fessed that he did not take county
paper. BY thus willfully deprivlng
himself Of the means of information,
he has lost enough on his potatoes
alone to pay for ten years subscriptio
to The Journal-Press.-St. Cloud

A Farmers Institute has been in
session during the past week at Or
tonVille. It is thought by some that
Prof. Porter and others who assisted
there can be induced to come to Nor
ris and hold similar institute here.
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Stevens County Agricul-
tural Society which will meet next
Saturday afternoon at the First
National Bank, this question will lie
considered and if possible the time
for holding the proposed institute Will
be determined. 1t is to be hoped that
the effort to have a Farmers Institute
here will he successful.
Charles Wintermute, president of
the Stevens county Agricultural So
ciety, announces meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Society at
the First National Bank next Satur-
day afternoon at 8 o'clock. This meet
ing is called for the purpose of de-
terming the time for holding the
county Fair this Fall and also for de-
termining in regard to the holding of
Farmers Institute here during the
present month. All farmers interes-
ted in the work of the committee at
that time are invited to meet with
them. The questions to be decided are
important and there should be a full
attendance.
One of our most valued exchanges
remarks that it should be part of the
road work everywhere to keep the
weeds cut down which spring up along
the sides of the highways; and this
| work should never be nelected. There
is scarcely neighborhood in which
