CATARRH is a very prevalent and eX-
ceedingly disagreeable disease, liable,
if neglected, to develop into serious
consumption. Being constitutional
disease, it requires a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which,
acting through the blood, reaches every
part of the system, effecting radical
and permanent cure of catarrh in even
its most severe forms, Prepared by G.

A VERY respectable widow, remark
ing on matrimonial quarrels, said that
the first quarrel that goes the length of
any harsh or contemptuous language is
an unfortunate epoch in married life,
for that the delicate respectfulness be-
ing once thus broken down, the same
kind of language much more easily
comes afterwards; there is feeling of
having less to love than before.-John

A Summer Shower.

The following little poem was written by
Grace Pearl Macomber of Grand Isle, Vt,
who is only thirteen years of age:
Fleecy clouds are overhead,
And all around
The rain is falling to its bed
Upon the ground
The drops come down, and with the brook
That bubbles through the lea
They sparkle bright and wind and crook,
And empty in the sea.
But now the shower almost stops
1t falls so slow,
And, cleaning through the glittering drops,
We see the bow.
The flowers basking in the light
within the lane,
And everything is fresh and bright
Since the rain.

At Rest.

They lie at rest, our blessed dead:
The dews drop cool above their head,
They knew not when sweet summer fed
Together all, yet each alone:
Each laid at rest beneath his own
Smooth turf or white allotted stone
When shall our slumber sink so deep,
And eyes that wept and eyes that weep
Weep not in the sufficient sleep?

ditching on public roads. Two years

that on the Hancock and Scandal
road would ply for one-half the ex-
penses if tie town paid the other
half OH all ditching done on my land
and OH the road. The town took me
up on my proposition and had a
ditch 265 rods long, and where the
road has always been impossible it
has since made Il good road and drain
cd my land at the same time. Why
not have the adjoining towns follow
this plan and consider on the same ut
their village elections.

The Duty OF tho Hour.

In view of the fact that the year
49, E promises to be one Of unusual ac-
tivIty in the business afftirs Of Min
nesota. TIE Sun urges upon the
business men Of Norris, the forming
Of an active organization, the object
OF which will be to promote the best
interests Of this locality. It seems
certain that eastern capital will be
directed toward Minnesota in more
ways than one. Several important
enterprises are already in contempla-
ton In various parts OF the state.
There IS no reason why Morris
should not command the confidence
Of investors, and share proportionate-
~ in the prosperity that may lie al :.
lowed to this portion of the West.
There can be little doubt THAT several
enterprises which would be Of great
benefit to this tom, might lie est&h.
lished here. and we'll sustained If
capital could be directed toward them
in the proper manner. That these
things bs encouraged, seems essential
to the growth and development or
Stevens county. It will not do for
Morris to lag Or lose its prestige (fair-
u won) rs among the best towns IN
the west. THE Sun has to-day in
mind. vt least half i dozen Industries
which, are needed ia ourmislst, the con-
summation Of which could be greatly
aided BY 4 live. vigilsnt organization
or business men. Other towns have
already moved in this matter and We
say again that Morris should not be
bshinsl. Let steps be taken u onoe
to carry ont the suggestions, and let
every endeavor b made 70 keep the
| One advantages and opportunities for
Iinvestment afIordad ~ this section

The time for seeding and planting

intend to purchase nursery stock or

the last moment. Better decide upon
what is needed at once, and send in

Delays in ordering such stock are al
ways unsatisfactory and often prove
extremely Yexatious. We say again,
order these things early and prepare
