We think the original founder of
the TRIBUNE must have made sue
cessful grand march for subscriptions
| on the 18th day of February as large
| number of the subscriptions to this pa
per begin and expire on that date.
| We will notify all of our readers OF
their standing upon subscription ac-
count soon and we hope to receive
prompt remittaEces from all whose
subscriptions have expired.
Browns Valley Reporter:-The
band boys have secured excursion
rates of one and fifth fare for those
who desiring to attend the masquer-
ade ball on Washington's birthday.
This will make the round trip from
Morris. $3.50; from Graceville, $1.1O,
and from Beardsley, 10 cents. Those
who wish to enjoy themselves should
| take advantage Of this reduction and
attend, as a royal good time will be
had.
Floods of a most disastrous charac-
ter have recently swept over large por-
tions of the Eastern and New Eng
land states. Why, under the sun,
don't those unfortunate people down
there come to Stevens county? Here
they would have Il better climate, bet
| ter farms, better everything, and be
where floods and kindred disasters
are all impossibility. Some people
hav'n't enterprise enough to better
their condition, when they can do so
| just as.well as not.
The Camp Fire, supper and dance
| to be given by the q. A. j. Overton
| post, G.. A. r. on Washington's birth
day bids fair to be one of the most sue
cessful and enjoyable events of the
season. The members of the post are
making ample preparations and it is
| certain that there will be large at
| tendance. Both the Herman and
Hancock posts have zen invited and
expressed their intention to be here.
! OF course, large number from Nor
ris will be present.
The members Of the G. A. ]. Over
| ton post, G. A. R. Will have large
number OF guests at their Camp Fire
Oh Washington's birthday. Over
forty people VIII be here from Herman
and probably a greater number from
| Hancock. To rovide eatables for all
of these, as we'll as for those who will
| attend from Morris, the wives of the
members of the post will need help.
We trust this help will be freely Civ
en- by the ladies of the city, now that
the necessity for it is shown.
Naaman Knorman, of Alexandria,
Egypt, lectured in Phoenix Hall on
Monday and Tuesday evenings and
will lecture there again this evening.
He speaks of the peoples of Asia and
Africa, their temples, customs, sacred
lore and religions. He seems to have
thorough understanding of his SUBJ
iect, and his lectures, on the whole,
are interesting. We don't know just
what Mr.. Knorman is, but we think
him a Mohammedan missionary who
has come to America to enlighten be-
nlghted Christians.
At Duluth a building association
was formed some time ago. 1t met
with a greater demand for shares and
capital than it could meet under its
) charter and another association has
been incorporated. Associations OF
this kind are always successful. One
never was known to fail. Philadel-
phia, the city of homes, was built up
very largely by them. There are
thirty associations in St. Paul and all
are doing well. Morris also has q
building association which is no ex-
ception to the general rule. II is
meeting with wonderful success.
The delinquent tax list is published
