inference with regard to the death of
Clayton it itshowed that his death was
not for political purposes, We do

this case we believe he met the fate
the Clayton's meted out to many bets
ter men and consequently have worn
no sackcloth and ashes. But what a
boon 1t has been to Clayton as a po-
litical cry. We verify believe that
if Gabriel should appear with his
resurrection trump and offer to re-
store John Clayton to life, that his
offer would be rejected, and he would

FAULT FINDING.

Don't get in the habit of it. It's
the easiest thing to do and the hard.
est thing to stop in the wide, wide
world, 1t runs your temper and
spolls the shape Of your mouth.
Try and see the good rather than the
disagreeable in the people and your
surroundings. You wouldn't 90 in
to a friends house and find fault
with what she does and with what
she has and her way Of living; what
right have you then to find fault
with those who are more than friends
to you" the people of your own
blood? If there is a grace that we
are all stingy with it is that Of giving
praise, and yet it is one with which
we ought to lavish, Why should
you tell your friend that her bonnet
is becoming when You have never
said this to your sister? Why should
you 60 out to tea and praise your
neighbours mullins when you have
forgotten to tell mother how good
hers wereY Why should you an,
nounce how much Mr.. Wilson over
the way knows, when father is a
great deal better informed man, and
it has never entered your little head
TO whisper quietly TO him how much
you appreciate hls wisdom, You
keep your ability to discover faults
for the home, while the eye that
should look for virtues is closed
tightly until You 90 out. Don't wait
until someone has gone to tel Of
their virtues, Don't wait until sister
is far away in another land 20 tell
her how helpful, how pretty, or how
courteous she is, and don't wait till
the weary hands are crossed and the
long sleep has come, before you make
mother know what o beautiful blue
her eyes are, how tender is her heart
and how dearly you love her Tell

Bro. Fizer, the Il. | candidate for
governor, hasn't the sagacity an ex.
ecutive of great state should carry
under his hat if he thinks members
of the South Methodist church will
follow him into the republican camp
via the mongrel route. Not a dozen
will think of such course. He will
find that he stands alone as a monu-
ment to se!fshness and rabid lust
for distinction which his better
judgment, after September, will try
to hide behind the sympathy of his

During the session of the union
labor convention member in speak,
ing against the prohibition plank,
asked for by the ladies, said he did
not want to see prohibition tackled
onto the platform. 1t had swamped
the republican party in Iowa ana in
every other locality where they had
attempted to carry the load, and he
did not propose to give his consent
to allow it to do the same thing here.
That man was honest. He knew he

Solid Comfort.

Who wouldn't take solid comfor
if it was within their reach;b wlfat
is solid comfort for one is not fol
another. Some men take solid com
fort IL smoking q pipe, others take
solid comfort in nursing the baby
while the good wife gets supper
ready, while still others take solid
comfort in reading the news paper
when the days work is done. Our
experience in farming convinces us
that the farmer has more hard work,
and fewer comforts than, perhaps
any other class of men: we therefore
are glad, when we discover any COM
fort for Il farmer, to announce it. In
our perambulatlons few days ago
we discovered a gang plow, named
1.-THE Sold Comfort" If ever a
farmer expects solid comfort while
earning his bread in the sweat of his
brow he ought to get one of these;
they are for sale by Wolff & Thoele,
hecan then enjoy life as he goes along,
instead of waiting to the end of his
toilsome life in hopes of having solid
comfort in the great bevond.

Will be enclosed, and we will have a

down the Indians for a game of La
Cross, and other amusements: Every
thing possible will be done to make
the day memorable. Let every body
contribute something I'd its success,
and let every body come to the cele-
bration. We want this to eclipse
every former effort here or elswhere.
The sinews of war are rolling in; the
Morris Band will stay at home that
day, this IS the best band within so
miles of us. Let every man from
the country come to town that day,
and bring hts mother, his wife, his

What's the Matter with Morris.

Have the great dailles no cores
pOndents in this part of the country,
or what's the matter with them.
Every day we can see something
about the great boom in some in
significant town in Minnesota or the
Dakotas, and on investigation the
whole boom is on paper, while here
in Morris we have an actual building
boom, such as was never witnessed
in Morris before; and the whole of
Stevens county looks like a we'll cul-
tivated garden; with every farmer
smiling at the prospect; but net a
word for Morris, or Stevens county.
If the city dailies have no CORE.
spondents here it's time they had;
and if they have any it's time they
were changed. Stevens county must
come to the front; we won't be ig-
nored.
