Hon. E. NJ. Wilson will speak at

at s p. M, on the tariff question and
state issues of the campaign. All are
cordially invited.
Mr.. C.. Sax met with serious loss
on Monday. While threshing, fire
| was started by spark from the en-
CINE, and his separator, two wagons,
| and a considerable amount of grain
was destroyed. A team Of horses was
also injured.
There was a case of assault and
battery before Esquire Gillespie yes
terday. The facts of the case are as
follows, as we understand them:
Henry Charland assaulted L. II.
Schumann, striking him with. his
fist in the face, doing damage to his
eye. Fined $40 and cost.
About nine o'clock this morning
the residence of Charles Wilson, just
south of town, caught fire from a
chimney and was totally destroyed.
| The household furniture was mostly
saved. The house was one of the fin
est in this vicinity, and its loss Is q
severe blow to Mr.. Wilson.
Mrs. Whitley has just received from
the East her End invoice of fall hats.
They surpass in beauty her first lot
that has sold SO rapidly for the last
| two weeks. s 3Sw3
Hancock Olive Branch: Arthur
Thorpe rode his bicycle from the
court house in Morris Monday even
ing to Hancock in the neighborhood
of II miles by the route taken in one
hour and IL minutes. This Is pretty
good time but on the 9Th of Novem-
| Der Arthur's record will discount that
or we are no prophet.
| E. J. Jones has greatly improved
| the appearance of his business build
ing by painting the same. He has
| also fixed up his office room in a
neat and tasty manner. We would
respectfully suggest that If some Of
the business houses on Pacific avenue
were treated In the same manner that
Mr.. Jones has his building, it would
add to the appearance of that thorough
fare.
The time is not far distant when
the people of the village of Morris
will regret that they delayed the ad.
option of some plan which would re.
suit in furnishing the village with
supply of pure water. Whether
that plan should be by putting dowr
an artisan well, or adopting system
of water works which would supply
the village with water from the river
we are unable to say. But one thing
is certain, viz: If we want to escap.
the affection of variety of diseases
we must have an abundant supply oil
pure water, and the sooner we hav,
it the better will it be for the health
and prosperity of our village. Natur
ally Morris is without doubt an ex
ceedingly healthy location, but i
will not remain SO long, unless W.
have pure water. Every year tina
the matter is delayed the worse !
will be for us, as our wells are be
coming more and more polluted by
surface drainage, especially thos
that are not sunk only short distanc
The expense Of securing supply B
water for the village, certainly would
not be 20 heavy that 1t would be
great burden on taxpayers. AM
then there is nothing to be gainet
by putting off the undertaking. Ii
fact, the longer it Is delayed til,
more subject we. become to disese
and the reputation of our village as
5 healthy location suffers thereby, an,
, the value of property here will natural
} ly depreciate. SO then, it is perfect
, ~ evident that the sooner we NOV,
( in this matter the better 1t will b,
for US. financially and as regard
7 health.
