Morris tribune., 1888-02-22

As RUE Tile very IICu uAOh 0Ae
not those who build up community
and create booms," observes an en-.
change. IA single business man full
of life and snap and enterprise, who
is not afraid to talk sense and knows
how to advertise, is worth any dozen
very rich men who usually only take
advantage of other peoples booming
to increase their values"
Our Hancock correspondent sent us
an interesting letter last week, but
owing to the blockade 1t was not re-
ceived in time for publications. IN
addition to the usual local news items,
the programme for the school enter
tainment OF last Friday evening was
given. The entertainment was for
the purpose of raising money with
which to purchase u set ofphysiologi-
cal charts.
The business men of the world are
doing much to advance the cause OF
t temperance by giving the yoang man
who is known to use intoxicating
drinks q very hard row to hoe. There
is no encouragement for the man
who drinks. The door to rreferment
is closed against him and employ
ment is refused him. The railroad
manager has no use for him and the
banker aud merchant are in league
against him. The young man who
has any regard for his future success
and welfare will be exceedingly care
full to refrain from drinking for after
he forms the drink habit, applications
for employment from him will not
be worth the paper upon which they
will be written. If you desire sue
cess you must be temperate.
The time for election is rapidly ap
preaching and some attention should
be given those who are soon to DO
chosen to preside over the destinies OF
our city for the coming year. In
this connection we wish to remind
the voters of Morris that there Is to
be an Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic here next June
which will bring thousands ofpeople;
that the Grand Legion of the Select
knights of Minnesota and Dakota
will convene here at the same time
and that there will be other events
within the year, during which our
city will either maintain or lose its
reputation for thrift, life and hospi-
tality. a council is needed this year
which, in addition to the usual duties
of that body, is capable of equaling
every emergency growing out ofthese
events in a way that will bring credit
to the place. For these reasons I'M
usual care should be taken in the Sc
lection OF a Council this spring. The
TRIBUNE has no pet candidates to
present, but simply wishes to see
each and every voter interest himself,
attend the caucuses and each do his
part toward seeing that none but ac-
tive, intelligent, enterprising and
liberal minded men are chosen.
For the benefit Of those who are not
in a position to keep well informed as
to.the tax laws we publish the follow
ing condensation, by an exchange:
"All taxes become due ON the first
Monday of January. Personal pro-
perty taxes become delinquent on the
first day of March following, when a
penalty of ten per cent IS added, and
ii not paid before the first day Of
April, the sheriff collects the same
with the accrued penalty and costs,
including mileage fees. On the first
day of June following, penalty Of
ten per cent is added to all unpaid
real estate taxes, and said taxes be-
come delinquent on the first Monday
in January following, when an adj
ditional penalty of five per cent Ia adj
ded, and twenty days thereafter
twenty-seven cents on each tract, for
advertising and clerk of court fees,
will be added to the amount due, as
shown in advertised list. Real estate
will be offered for sale for the taxes,
penalty and costs due thereon on the
first Monday in May thereafter, from
which time the accrued amount
draws interest ut the rate of twelve
per cent per annum until redeemed,
and If not redeemed within three
years from date of sale, becomes
absolute property of the state or
purchaser"
