Tempiar last Friday evening.
The knights Templar of Morris
gave another of their series of pleas
ant parties at their hall last Friday
evening. Dancing was the principal
feature of the evening. The music
was furnished by Watzke's orchestra.
Refreshments were served between IL
and II o'clock. The attendance was
large and all found the event to be a
| pleasant one.
Nothing will sell a farm quicker
then nice grove of trees. Nothing
will afford more pleasure and COM
tort, nothing proves more conclusive
ly the refinement, the good common
sense and the energy Of the people
living in the vicinity, than section
of country dotted with groves of trees
planted in a systematic manner by

Says a contemporary: Judging
from the size of the eggs that now
come to the market farmers generally
must have abandoned the fancy
breeds of chickens and have gone
back to the old barnyard fowl. AS a
layer the old fashioned hen has no
superior and as table bird it excels
in the excellence of flavor the larger
and coarser breeds. There is value
in the old American stock after ALL"

purchased number of work horses
for the farm and is now getting ready
for springs work as rapidly as possi'

signs of it's old time prosperity.
GOV. McGiIl has appointed Satur-
day April 2Sth, 1888, as Arbor day.
and asks the aid aud cooperation of
all school officers, including the SUI
perintendents and teachers, park
boards aud public officers to aid in
the observance of the day, and to urge
the planting of trees. We hope to see
the governors recommendation COM
piled with in every part of Stevens
county sad moretrees planted than
ever before.
During the past year the supply of
money~in Morris has not equaled the
demand. There has been more people
needing TO borrow than could be ac-
cpmmodated. Under these circum-
stances an INCREASE of $50, 100000 in the
capital of the First National Bank Is
an important item: It means much
toward the Advancement of the bust
ness interests of the place. We take
pleasure in calling attention to the
new advertisement in this issue of
the TRIBUNE.
The Hancock Dramatic Company
presented the play, Hal Hazard or
The Fedora! Spy, at the court house
last Thursday evening. Each MEM
Der of the Company showed careful
preparation and performed his or her
part well, Mr.. Poison as Hal Haz-
ard did remarkably well, Miss Hell
geson also deserves special mention
for the ability shown in her part.
The company was we'll supplied with
appropriate scenery and made the
stage fit the play. Owing, probably,
to the impossible condition of the
roads the audience was not large. A
laughable farce ended the evenings
entertainment.
