Morris tribune., 1886-10-13

times during the last few years.
While burning fire break last Sun
day a slight whltlwind suddenly came
up and spread the flames. About
twenty tons of hay and the barn were
destroyed. The timely help of neigh
bors saved the balance of their proper
ty.-Herman Herald.
BY the vigorous efforts of few OF
the leaders in what Is left of the
Stevens county Democracy and the
cheering music of the Excelsior Band,
a few men were gathered into Ber-
kin's Hall last Saturday night and
an Ames club was formed. The at
tendance was small and enthusiasm
was painfully lacking. BY the way,
it is gradually leaking out that Ames
is most too bitter dose for many of
the better class of Democrats to swal-
low.
The day passenger train on the
Manitoba road, instead OF stopping
over night at Morris, now runs to
Wahpeton, reaching that place at 8
O'Clock each afternoon and leaving 1t
each morning at 9:35 o'clock for the
return trip. The east bound train
stops twenty-five minutes ut Morris
for dinner. This change makes but
little difference to Morris but is of
great benefit to the places
between here and Wahpeton
and especially to Breckenridge and
Wahpeton.
Although the weather here has
been exceptionally fine, hardly the
usual amount of blowing is done for
this time of the year, One reason for
this is to be found in the fact that the
dry weather of the early part of the
season caused slow growth of wild
hay and most of the farmers have
been compelled to secure their supply
of hay since harvest. This work IN
addition to the usual work of stacking
and threshing, securing the corn crop,
etc. has made postponement of plow-
ing necessary. The plows, however,
are being kept very busy now and If
present good weather continues,
great change will be made in the APP
pearance of the fields during the next
few weeks:
The pupils of the High School and
the teachers in the West Side build
ing have raised fund by subscription
which they have judiciously invested
in current publications for the re-
mainder of the school year, They
have selected daily paper, four
weeklies, each of a different nature, in
Guiding the Scientific American,
Weeks Current and others of equal
merit and a monthly paper of special
interest to students. This is something
of an innovation. but is to be highly
commended. 1t is a praiseworthy
plan to cultivate the reading habit in
young people, as we'll as to make them
conversant with current news and
scientific and literary matter. This
is perhaps step toward the establish
ment Of a permanent reading room in
connection with the public schools.
