GENERAL MERCHANDISE, ATLANTIC
AVENUE,
Among as many good business
houses as Morris contains, no one
should fail in securing the material
or article desired. Recognized
among the leaders in their line we
mention the above firm, who have
built up au extensive trade, and are
well-known with the buying public.
Starting in business about eighteen
years ago they have steadily in
creased their number of patrons UNI
til their transactions have reached
imposing proportions. This desirable
state of affairs is not by any means
due to luck or chance, but Is the legi-
innate and inevitable outcome of
the forethought and discriminating
energy which have marked the firms
career.
In all the different departments
careful attention is given to
the wants of their customers, and
purchases are made with a view to
meet the needs of all. The dry goods
department. will contain at all times
o carefully selected and well-assorted
line Of dress goods-from the fine
wool fabrics down to low priced
cotton fabrics, and ladies will have
little trouble in making their selec-
tions, and in notions will find the
assortment as complete. The boots
and shoes offered by this house will
come up to the full standard, and the
same may be said of the clothing,
hats and caps. Crockery and glass;
ware are special features in their
trade and the stock is fully repre-
sented. Last but not least comes the
groceries, and in this line as in all
others particular attention is paid to
the purchase of none but the very
best goods. They also handle the T.
G. Mandt wagon which has become
so popular.
Messrs, Samuel Larson and Nils
A. Nilsson are both natives of Nor
way, and men whose rare business
ability is displayed in the manner in
which they have managed their busi-
ness, and the citizens of Morris may
Justly be proud, that among her
citizens are to he found such ener-
getic and reliable men. !

DEALERS IN DRY, HARD md SOFT
WOOD.
One of the great objections to COM
ing west, IN the minds Of many in
whose bonnet the immigration lee
has occasionally buzzed is the matter
of fuel which is one Of the stings that
libelous eastern writers have delight
ed to harp Oh. Desiring to throw
light on all doubtful points we called
on Messrs Gould & Wellington who
deal exclusively in wood for fuel and
inspected their stock which consists
of from seventy-five to one hundred
and fifty cords always on hand, Of the
best seasoned hard and soft wood.
In reply to our questions as ito
prices these gentlemen said: Tell
them we are selling the best dry maple
wood for $3.50 per cord and other
grades in proportion.'
This satisfied us and we are sure,
must convince our eastern friends forI
we KNOW from experience that thOSel
prices are as good as can be haI IL

ING-TWINE, FARM MACHINERY
AND GRAIN.
The extent and importance Of the
manufacture of agricultural imple-
ments can hardly be understood by
one not in the business, and while the
relation between labor saving ma
chinery and the bread earners OF our
country may be a delicate one, no one
will question for a moment that the
rapid development of the great agri-
cultural resources of the west is large
Iy due to farm machinery as we find
it to-day, without which it would be
impossible for our farmers to raise
the thousands of acres of No. l hard
except by a profit consuming army of
hired help. .. E. - 3. @->.s
A firm which has done much to
supply the farmers of Stevens county
with the best and latest makes of
farming implements is Wolff &
Thoele, who have been in the busi-
ness for the past two years, during
which time they have come to be
reckoned among the leading machine
men in the County.
Their ware rooms are at all times
filed with the most varied makes of
ali kinds of machinery, 1t has been
our pleasure toinspect in long time,
among which are the Minneapolis

ton of this firm for liberality and fair

grain department Is one OF the most
important branches of the concern,
they handling thousands of bushels
each year.
Among their friends these gentle
men are known as III. 2. Wolff ana
Lewis Thoele.
Mr.. Thoele Is OF german parentage
and gentleman of education and
culture, having III former years been
regular minister in the M. IT,
church of this state, where he has
passed the greater part of his life.
On account of falling health he was
obliged to abandon his chosen Work
and retire to the country, where he
has followed agricultural and mer-
camille pursuits until engaging in his
present enterprise.
Mr.. Wolff is a native Of the OLD
"keystone" state and one of the
pioneers of Stevens county, coming
| to Morris in 1871. Here he erected
the first store building and for many
years carried on q tiourishlng trade
with the indians and settlers, ship
ping goods by stage coaches to pat
rons living hundred miles west Of
here. He had many interesting eX-
| periences in those early days when
| the "reds' were more numerous than
the pale faces, and lie has watched
| the rapid transformation of this great
county, from bowling wilderness TO
the blooming paradise of prosperous
and happy homes as we enjoy If To-
day. These conditions offered rare
advantages to Il man of foresight like
Mr.. Wolff, which has resulted in his
now possessing All abundance oi THIS
worlds goods, both i'll Oank accounts
and landed interests.
| He is the owner of several valuable
lots in this city besides four large
farms in different sections of the
county, one containing 4S0 acres, and
in addition to his other business, he
is an extensive dealer in "dirt" both
for himself and on commission.
| Being one of the first settlers he has
always been prominently identified
with the growth of this town. He
was the first Justice of the Peace, has
been court commissioner and is now
a member OF the city council, besides
having held several other positions of
trust and responsibility.
/ He is also an honored brother i'll
in Masonry and u member of the a.

In conclusion we would say that
Messrs. Wolff and Thoele have ever
maintained an excellent reputation
for honorable, upright dealings and
square business methods, and both
are highly esteemed in business and
social circles.

 During the spring of 1871, while working in tine field at ny home ID Morgan county, Ga pulled of my shoes to give my feet rest. Unfortunately, walked into clump of poison oak, and in few days my feet were in terrible condition, and could not put on shoe because of the soreness ard swelling. was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis ease, only each time it became more dis tressing, because l began to think it was lifetime trouble.

rss "oIrIzEy's" :" OPINION.

The tempest ill teapot is again to the fore in Graham county. The board of supervisors called for sealed propo- sals for county printing. These pro- posals were made, opened in due form and the printing was awarded to the Bulletin, although its bid was largely in excess of that of THE CLARION.
 This style of doing business called forth vigorous protest from THE CLARION. It objects to being put in the soup at the county expense and the ball opened. It is not difficult to foresee what view the taxpayers of the county will take of such business when the affairs of Graham county again come before them for adjudica- tion. The Bulletin in defending the action of the board ofsupervisors says:
 TIE CLARION bid was for Headed" Nonpariel; mark you, "leaded was carefully inserted, but the thickness or number of leads to be placed between the lines was not mentioned. Now for the benefit of the general public We will explain 10 them that " "leaded" ss the bid WAS worded, would mean the dishonest printer could. by q system long practiced in THE CLARION office, slip ill "lesds" enough between the lines to stretch out or extend the measurement from one-third to dou- ble what honest or solid Nonpariel would be-"
 THE CLARIoN's bid was put in for "leaded" Norpariel. "Leaded in all printing offices means one lead only. If two are used, then "dou- ble-leaded " is used; and if three leads are used, the cognomen slug is used instead of "lesd." TIE CLARIoN's tender for leaded" Nonpariel was just as explicit and binding as though it had specified !" solid matter. The statement of the Bulletin that by the term leaded man can place ss much space between the lines of his paper as he likes, is ridiculous. Any prin- ter or publisher in the territory will bear us out in this statement, and the Bulletin man, if be claims to have any knowledge of printing terms, should be ashamed to make his ignor- ance public as he does, when he says leaded matter means unlimited space.
 Possibly the Bulletin may say this is none of our business and probably it may be correct in the matter, but when we sec brother quill laundering in the adobe we like to take hold and help him out-only this and nothing more. - Tuscon Citizen.

TIE Valley Bladder say, that the cause ofits extraordinary bill of S1 400 for its first quarter is due to the fact that it has done pretty much all the job printing for the various offices. When it is remembered that the board is paying S9 per thousand for letter heads, and prices for everything else in proportion. We do not wonder our selves. The commercial price for let ter heads in this vicinity has hereto fore been S7 per thousand. at which price THE CLARION has printed many thousands at au exceedingly good profit.

WHEN the Bulletin recognizes the fact that Judge Fitzgerald is not the manager of THE CLARION, or is not financially interested in the paper, the sddle-pated numbskull who attempts to edit the Bladder will probably try some other and more convincing meth cd to convince the taxpayers that they ought to pay Sl,500a year for the sup port of s paper established for the pur- pose "f hn"sting Solomon's supe.
