FRED BUNNEL, PRoPRIEToR-CoRNEl
ATLANTIC AVENUE AND SIXTH
STREET.
| In work of this kind which treats o.
the resources of the city of Morris, ano
which is destined to be read by those
who reside elsewhere, it is of course moi
out of place for US to speak of an estab
lishment, where, when visitors repair ia
the city either for business or pleasure
they will be enabled to find all the com
forts of home, besides every civilty, at
tention and convenience possible IN a
public house.
The metropolitan is the best as we'll as
the oldest house in town and is under
the efficient management of Mr.. Frank
Bunnell, who is genial and clever gen
tleman.
The main building occupied for hotel
purposes is 36x5O A stories with an addi-
ton nearly as large two stories, located
within block of the depot, and in the
center of business. 1t has forty sleeping
rooms we'll furnished and neatly kept
and no pains are spared to add to the
pleasure and comfort of the guests. An
excellent bar and fine billiard room are
features of the hotel, and the sample
rooms provided for travelling statesmen
make this popular stopping place for
this class of trade.
Mr.. Bunnell has for long time felt
the necessity of more room to accommo-
date his necessary trade and the new
brick block now in process of erection,
and to be completed sometime this whit
err, will give him exceptionablo facilities
for taking care of his patrons. This will
be the finest block in our city and the
new hotel under his superior manage
ment will be among the most popular
first-class houses in Minnesota.
Mr. Fred Bunnell is native of the
Buckeye state, and possesses Enthusiastically
the executive ability, tact and energy
which insures success in any field Of
business enterprise. HIS eighteen years
experience in hotel life has fully acquaint-
ed him with the varied wants of the
public and his unfailing courtesy and
affable manners has won the general es

EDWIN J. JONES.

| DEALER IN LUMBER, LIME AND PAINT.
Those concerns which best supply the
commodities which are essential to our
comfort as members of a civilized COM
munity would very naturally claim very
material part of our consideration, and
for this reason, if for no other, we most
gladly give space to Il brief mention of
one of the most important lumber estab-
lishmcnts in this part of the state we re-
fer to the yards of Mr.. Edwin J. Jones,
which have been in operation since 1878.
His handsome office, spacious sheds
and ample piling grounds are most CEN
trally located and on the main line of the
St. P. NJ. & NJ R. r. affording excellent
shipping facilities.
His present stock of over half million
feet of lumber comprises all kinds of
hard and soft lumber, laths, shingles.
sash, doors and blinds, and large timber,
in fact everything in the building line,
including lime, cement and paint,
altogether constituting this one of the
best places in Stevens county for pur-
chasing anything in the lumber and
building line.
Mr.. Jones is native of Wisconsin and
has been in this business ever since ar
irving at maturity.
In Masonic circles he is widely known
and higly regarded, being member of
the Minneapolis Consistory and Shrine
and Eminent Commander of the Knights
Templar of this city. Mr.. J. is one of
our most public spirited and respected
citizens, who has largely contributed to
the material prosperity and Improvement
of our city and is fully worthy of the
large measure of success which has at
| tended his efforts.

GENERAL MERCHANDIsE-ATL
AVENUE.
In Morris we have number of
good establishments devoted to the
sale of dry goods, boots and shoes,
hats and caps, clothing, crockery,
flour, and feed and groceries, and 1t
has become recognized center Of
mercantile activity. Prominent
among the most active and enter
prising houses in this line IS that OF
#. J. Moore, located on Atlantic
avenue east.
The business has been in operation
by Mr.. Moore for the past eight years,
and the establishment Is we'll stocked
throughout in each of the several
lines, with those goods which are best
calculated to meet the full expecta-
tlons of customers.
Mr.. Moore is gentleman whose
lengthy practical acquaintance with
every phase of the business, is the
surest possible guarantee to the pub
lie that they can here best meet with
careful attention and secure decided
bargains in goods of every descrip-
ton. He is personally conversant
with the markets and knows exactly
what the public wants. The rapid
development of the business speaks
more for the ability of Mr.. Moore,
than anything We could say in our
limited space, and we take pleasure
in calling the attention of our readers
to this popular trading establishment
In addition TO his mercantile pur.
suits he Is agent for some of the finest

The pencilings upon the fields ana
forests in all their varied beauty are no
truer than the action of the rays of light
through the medium of the camera
when operated by Mr.. Elliott, who is an
artist of years of experience and whose
taste is unimpeachable.
His facilities for all classes of work
are excellent, and his prices are as low,
quality considered, as any in the north
west. The photographs made at this
establishment are all that could be de-
sired, either as to style or finish, and in
all Mr.. Elliott's work the touch and
taste of the true artist is discerned.
Mr.. r. +. Elliott was born in Maine,
and has thirty-five years experience as
photographer, four of which have been

Morris brings one to the Morris brick
yards which have been in operation
off and on for number of years but
owing to poor management have new
er proven a financial success until they
were leased by Mr.. Hancock last
spring, since which time they have
! been worked to their full capacity,
employment being given to thirty
men and ten teams and the output
finding ready market at local and
western points.
These brick are wire.cut and made
by the dry-mud process and are capa-
BILE of withstanding enormous press
ure and of such u fine grade is the
clay that they are nearly equal to
pressed brick for ornamental work
while for all ordinary building pur-
poses they cannot he beaten and when
we consider that these brick are sue
cessfully sold at all points at compe-
tition prices the Importance and utili-
ty of the yards to this, city will be
more readily appreciated.
These yards have Il daily capacity
of from 10000 to $4,000 and the stock
is practically eXhaustless as the prop
erty consists of l20 acres mderlaid
with a clay bed from eight to ten feet
deep below which is thin stratum of
gravel and then more clay.
These brick have been made into
the finest buildings in town among
which are our court house which is
admired of all, and our common and
high school buildings and banks and
are also being used in the erection of
our new palace hotel building, as is
also the beautiful city hall and high
school building of WATERFOWL, Dako
ia.
The foreman of these yards Mr..
}. {. Hancock is practical brick
maker of long experience and all in
all the management is business like
i'll all respects as is amply proven by
the patronage and profits already earn
ell and we join our ardent wishes with
those of hosts of others that the Nor
riS brick yards may have unnumhered
years of boundless prosperity.

Poor, unfortunate, Batrachian!
In what a sad plight he must have
been. And yet his misfortune was
one that often befalls singers.
Many a once tunsful voice among
those who belong to the "genus

both combined. For the above
mentioned ''croaker" we are net
aware that any remedy was ever
devised; but we rejoice to know
that all human singers may keep

has established rooms in this city for
the sale of pianos and organs and is
doing quite aprosperous and satisfact-
DRY trade.
The superior quality of the instru-
ments, and the honorable business
methods of this house have won for it
the confidence of the people.

In carefully examining the commercial
interests of Morris it is constant source
of pleasurable surprise to note the adj
vances that have been made since we
became city, and the growth of enter
prise in many directions of usefulness
that add not little to our general wealth
and prosperity.
These reflections were forcibly suggest
ed by visit to the extensive establish

A. A. Stone by whom the business was
established in 1877, and W. J. Dumble
