Obituary.

Died, December I, 1850, after a
short illness Of twenty seven hours,
Mrs. Jane Patterson, at the age of
80 years and ten months, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. F. ]. Smell, at
Merriam Park, MINI
Mrs. Patterson, with her husband,
-.ettled in the town of Brighton, Ke-
nosha County, in the fall of I845,
where she lived till 1880. In March,
1857, Mr.. Patterson died, leaving a
family of eight children to her care,
all of which survive her
She was one of Gods noble wOm-
en- and was loving, earnest, patient,
kind and above all Christian moth
er. She labored to train her children
to habits of goodness, virtue, homes
ty and industry. She always had a
kind word and pleasant smile for
all. She lived more than the allotted
time of "three score years and ten. "
She lived to see all her children
grown to manhood and womanhood
and to be useful and honorable
members of society.
Mrs. Patterson had been i'll appar-
emily good health for some months
past. After her short illness of
twenty-seven hours, being conscious
to the last, she fell asleep safe in the
arms of Jesus, without struggle and
as calmly as if she had gone to sleep
for night
The funeral services were held
Tuesday, December sd, and were
conducted by the Revs Macy and
Lane. A large circle of friends
gathered to pay their last tribnte of
respect to the sainted dead. All the
children were present except the
younger son, Mr.. R. W. Patterson,
whose home is in California.
A FRIEND.

Teachers Meeting.

Pursuant to call number OF
teachers assembled at Dist. No. 1,
Pleasant Prairie, on Saturday last.
All appeared to be in excellent
spirits, and bent on making the
meeting success.
A short exercise in Algebra was
followed by a discussion on the
various methods of teaching frac-
tons. Supt. Middlecamp dwelt at
some length on the merits of neat
ness in school work It was gener-
ally acknowledged that "Neatness'
is an essential element in the forma-
ton of characteristic prime object
of our public school system.
Chas. Flett's exercise in Home
Geography was conducted with pre-
cision and despatch. Such exercis-
es are Of great value in training the
perceptive faculty in children, as
we'll as furnishing ample scope for
the imagination. This line of work
may proftably be used in connec-
lIOH Will CIC4uCIICdly oClNl1NO civ
language work.
After an highly enjoyable inter
mission, Thos. Conlin exercised his
legal acumen on the Executive De
partment of the government and
his pedagogical ability in presenting
the same to class Of teachers. His
suggestions were heartily endorsed
by all
The Reports Of Teachers elected
marked degree of attention from
the audience, were very interesting
and worthy of especial notice.
For some occult season the last
two numbers on the program were
somewhat sighted; but never-the-
less, the meeting was a decided sue
cess, and those who had the good
fortune to attend, returned home
filled with desire to do more efec
tive work in the school room, as vel
as buoyed up by the feeling that, tc
misquote the paraphrase Of OLD
English: "God might have made a
more noble thing than a common
school teacher, but-He never did

MercuriaI rheumatism.

Mr.. J.C. Jones, city marshal Of Fulton,
Arkansas, writes: "About ten years ago
contracted severe case of blood poison.
The leading physicians Of the city were call
ed in, and they prescribed medicine after
medicine, which | took without aflording
me any relief. I also tried mercurial and
potash remedies with the same unsuccessful
result, hut which brought on an attack of
mercurial rheumatism that made my life one
of untold agony. After suffering for four years
I gave up all former remedies and common

taking several bottles, was entirely cured

A. L. GULL, Teacher.

In a recent article in the Youths Compan-
ion, on "How to Cure a cold," the writer
advises a hot lemonade to be taken at-bed
time. 1t is a dangerous treatment, especially
during the severe cold weather Of the winter
months, as it opens the pores of the skin and
leaves the system In such condition that
another and much more severe cold is al
most certain to be contracted. Many years
constant use and the experience of thousands
of persons of all ages, has fully demonstrated
that there is nothing better for severe cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It acts
in perfect harmony with nature, relieves the
lungs, liquefes the tough tenacious mucus,
making it easier to expectorate, and restores
the system to strong and healthy condition.

BARBER SHOP, SIXTH STREET.

BARBER SHOP, SIXTH STREET.
A nicely shaved face and well TRIM
ed hair are as essential to a gentle
man of business or fashion, as a sty-
lish suit or polished shirt front, and
it is always a delightful treat to yield
ones self to the deft manipulations
of first-class tonso1 ial artist, and Mr..
Smith is just the man to operate such
an establishment.
His shop on Sixth street, only few
doors east of Atlantic Avenue, is nice.
ly fitted up with two easy chairs and
full complement of we'll kept tools,
and he takes every pains to see that
his customers are properly cared for.
His shop has a standard reputation
for frst-class work, and whether it be
a hair cut, shave, or shampoo, salts
faction is always obtained. Aside
from being a first-class barber himself
he is ably assisted by Joseph Pfieffer,
a workman Of long experience.
MI. Smith was born in the screen
Mountain State" and has been resi-
dent of Stevens county IA years. Dur
ing his eight years of business life in
our city he has made many friends,
aud his attention and courtesy to Gus
mers have had largely to do with his
success.

ST. PAUL HOUSE:

THOs. COLLAHEN, PROPRIETOR. FOURTH
STREET. RATES $500 PER DAY.
A distinguished gentleman recently
declared that Americans are nation OF
travellers. This popularity is not con-
fined to any one class, but applies to
rich and poor alike. This has brought
about accommodation suited to the diff
ferent tastes and means of patrons OF
public conveniences. Accordingly we
have the cushioned coaches, elegant
sleeping and parlor cars and palace
hotels for the comfort of those who can
afford them, and the cheaper modes of
travel and hotel accommodations for
those in less pretentlous circumstances.
The one is as essential as the other. OF
the latter class of hostelries Morris has
several good ones, but none furnishing
better accommodations for the money
than the St. Paul, which in many towns
would be considered tirst-class.
1t is large frame structure located
on Fourth street, has light, airy rooms,
with pleasant dining room and office,
and the service in every way is the best
that enterprise and experience can give
for the money, and parties in search OF
a clean, quiet, well conducted place to
stop; either by the day or week, will
make no mistake if they give this house
trial.
In connection with the hotel is barn
with plenty of stabllng room, which
offers every convenience to parties hav-
ing horses of their own.
Thomas Coilahen is native of Ire
land, but came to America when but
nine years of age, settling in Pennsyl-
vania. At the commencement of our
civil war he enlisted IN the 9th Pennsyl-
vania Infantry, a three months regiment,
and at the expiration of the time re-
enlisted in Battery L, U. s. Regular
Artillery, serving his time and re-enlist-
ing for the third time in the same, serv-
ing until Oct. 9Th, 1866. Was prisoner
at Libby for four months. He has been
a resident of Morris for the last fifteen
years, most of which time he has been
connected with the hotel. He is genial
landlord of the old type, and his best
efforts are devoted to the comfort of his
guests, and we heartily commend the
St. Paul House to the travelling public.

J. E. DANIELSON.
GENERAL MERCHANDISE-ATL
AVENUE.

GENERAL MERCIIANDIsE-ATL
AVENUE.
This establishment which ranks
among the leading business houses of
Morris, is one of the largest in the
city doing retail business. The
store occupied is 2OxS5 feet in demen-
sions and we'll stocked with full lines
of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes
and groceries, and in each department
the assortment is all that is necessary
to conduct an extensive business.
Mr.. Danielson has been in trade
here for the past ten years and is well
known all over this country. His
long experience in buying gives him
unusual facilities, and enables him to
make hard time prices, thus establish
ing his success as business man
years ago.
He gives close personal attention to
each department of this large and ex-
tensive business, and has built up a
very satisfactory trade. 1t is incum.
bent upon buyers, in the advancement
of their own interests, that in making
purchases, they bear in mind the
above house when the variety is COM
plete and the prices invariably salts
factory.
John E. Danielson is a native of
Sweden, emigrating to this country
in 1867, and for a number of years was
connected with one of the leading
mercantile houses of Minneapolis,
prior to establishing his business here
in 1879. His honorable business
methods have firmly established him
in general confidence, and as a bust
ness man ofsagacity and energy has de-
veloped large and steadily growing
trade.
We will not indulge in personal
comment further than to remark that
he is possessed of a complete know
ledge of the business and what is re-
quired of the trade.

#. BUCKENTIN.

DRUGS, MEDICINE AND WALL PAPER
ATLANTIC AVENUE.
An old established and thoroughly
reliable drug store is that conducted
by Mr.. Buckentin on Atlantic avenue,
and contains large and excellently
selected stock Of drugs, medicines,
fancy and toilet articles. A large
business Is done at this store as 1t is
a favorite with the residents of Nor
ris by reason of the integrity and en-
terprise which have always charac-
terized its management, and the uni-
formly reliable and excellent nature
of the various goods dealt in.
On account of his experience Mr..
Buckentin is peculiarly we'll fitted to
satisfactorily attend to the prescrip-
ton trade, and the large amount OF
business he does in this line shows
how we'll the fact Is appreciated by
the public. Great care and many
precautions are exercised in the fill

system in use seems to render any
mistake almost an impossibility.
A full stock OF paints and oils,
window shades and fixtures, glaizer
and painters supplies, musical in
struments, toys, druggist sundries,
cigars and tobacco, &C., and the line
of toilet articles, will be found to
comprise all the standard and fash
ionable goods of the kind.
In wall papers and borders he has
some beautiful patterns, which cam
not fail of suiting the tastes of our
most particular housekeepsrs, and an
inspection Of his stock will fully
carroborate this statement.
In conclusion we would say that
with experience in the business and
possessing those essential qualities
of progression which keep pace with
the spirit of the times, the house of
F. Buckentin presents to the public
unsurpassed advantages as one with
which to establish business relations.

L. II. SCHUMAN.
TAILOR.

People from the east coming here,
at once notice and admit that our
people are better and more tastefully
dressed than are our brethren in the
older states. This is due partly to the
more prosperous condition Of the
masses and partly to our artistic tail
ors who have been attracted here by
the manifest advantages which this
section posed for the craft.
A gentleman who has long COM
manded the respect OF his contempor-
aries and patrons is Mr.. L. II. Schu-
man, who for the past seven years has
conducted tailoring establishment
in our city his patronage including
some of our most fastideous dressers.
Patrons are accommodated from the
stock of foreign and domestic suitings
always carried or from samples
affording as wide range of choice as
would be possible in the large cities,
and all garments leaving his establish
ment being the acme Of perfection
both in style and fit.
Mr.. Schuman is native of Ger
many, coming to America some TWEEN
ty years ago, and has been resident
of Morris since 1882.
In business circles he Is deservedly
popular and has won an enviable
reputation for honorable methods.
Having business relations elsewhere
which demand his whole attention
Mr.. Schuman offers his shop and fix
lures for sale at very low figures and
we must say that we know of no bet
ter opening for good man Of limited
means, who desires all immediate
patronage without being obliged tt
await the deveIodement of paying
| trade.

MISS EMMA SPOONER.
MILLINERY AND DREsSMAK1NG PAR
LORS.

MILLINERY AND DREssMAK1NG PAR
LORs.
We have reviewed the interests of
this city in charge of business men
and it is eminently proper that we
devote little space to the millinery
and dressmaking establishment of
Miss Emma Spooner.
The store is the one lately occupied
for the same purpose by Bradley &
Stark, Miss Spooner having but re-
Gently taken possession.
1t is~her purpose to make this the
largest and most complete millinery
and dressmaking establishment in the
city and to this end she will immedi-
ately put in as fine stock as can be
selected in the large cities, when she
will be able to offer our ladies full
lines of the latest shapes in hats and
bonnets, flowers, feathers, plumes,
tips and trimmings of all kinds.
The dressmaking department will
also form an important feature and is
to be in charge of an accomplished
cutter from the city and patrons will
have the benefit of the latest partisan
fashions cut and fitted under the best
system. Special attention is also Civ.
en- to- all kinds of stamping.
Miss Spooner is quite widely known
here as school teacher for the past
eight years, and as the sister of our
former townsman Mr.. L. G. Spooner,
now attorney for the Plano Mfg. Co.,
of Chicago.
She is lady of fine taste and brings
to her new business the same thor.
ough going qualities which she poss.
essed as teacher and may be depend
ed upon to conduct an emporium OF
fashion in Il manner creditable to the
business reputation of our city.
