The sun. [volume] (Morris, Stevens County, Minn.) 1882-1895, 1889-08-08
While we boast of a good crop Of


good wheat in Stevens county, we can
also beast of a good crop of weeds in
this village. They stand higher, and
closer on the ground than any wheat
in the county. This is the proper
time to NOW them down, before the
seed ripenS. 1t is good exercise for
city men or boys to wage a war them
We always thought it healthy to look
at some one else swing a scythe.
An exchange says that the business
man who never advertises stves
great many expenses. He saves clerks
salaries and needs but small stock
to supply his customers. This makes
taxes light and insurance a small Item
of expense. Only a small capital is
required, and small building is Suth-
cient for proprietor and spiders. The
money saved by not advertising Will
come handy in bearing funeral eXpen-
SEES of dead business
J. f. Tyler, brakeman on the st.
Paul NJ. & NJ, had a painful accident
befall him on Tuesday while coupling
cars in the Morris yard. An imper-
feet link kept him too long in the
position, and on trying to get out
he slipped and fell; in the set Of fall
ing he threw up his arm which was
caught at the elbow, smashed it badly;
he will probably have to lay up a
month or more; he has family i'll
Breckenridge.
We don't speak officially ,butwe speak
truthfully nevertheless, when we
say that we will have another wheat
. buyer in Morris this fall. That Han
cock rustler, Sylvester Stewart, has
purchased Mr.. Cogel's plant, and in
tends erecting first class Elevator
on the ground formerly occupied by
the Cogel elevators. 1t is evident
Mr.. Stewart has desire for city life
! and possibly he has twinge OF con
science for helping Hancock to gel
= away with Morris during the last two
wears. Well, success to all such en-
tprprizes. This fall will test tht
canacity of the Elevators of thu
county.
