There is scarcely Il day passes but
we have the most positive evidence
rhat farming lands in Stevens county
are becoming more and more in de-
mand. The truth is our land has been
held at II too low figure, and the re-
suit has been that they have been
looked upon as being of an inferior
quIlity; but Of late home-SeekerS from
abroad have been looking over our
county, examining the soil and advan-
tagcs presented here to those who de-
sire to make permanent homes and
they have arrived ut the conclusion
that no where within the broad bord-
erS of our great state are greater in
ducements offered settlers than in
Stevens county. a rare chance is
now offered settlers to procure homes
here at reasonable prices, and those
who delay in making purchases. or i'll
vest in localities far away from mark
cts make great mistake. The time
to buy lands in Stevens county is now,
before spectators gobble up the land
and hold it at fancy figures. Land is
constantly advancing in price, and we
are safe in predicting. that within
twelve months from now farming
lands in Stevens county will he selling
ut - an acre higher than what they
can be bought for today. They are
certainly selling for s. IN acre more
than they were at this time last year,
and there is II much greater demand
for lands now than there was one
year ago. Real estate men are report
inc to us every day in the week salt s
Of farming lands i'll this comfy.
Again we say to parties seeking
homes, now is your time to purchase.

Remnant Sale.


This is the latter part of the sum-
mer remnant season, and there is no
reason why the merchants of Morris
and surrounding villages should not
clear up their remnants by sales,as we'll
as the city retailer. and put money in
their drawers, as does the latter. Says
the Commercial Bulletin: Select out
every remnant of goods in the store,
and sell them out at cost, remember.
ing that cost includes an allowance
for freight, Then put an announce
ment in the town paper about" Browns
Remnant Sale This Week Cash only"
land instead of having a lot of odds and
ends to carry over the season, there
will be a stock cleaned up and paid
for, and the shelves will be ready to
receive the fall stock of goods,
Haven't you got the courage to try
IL remnant sale and advertise it! Then
you fail in the essential quality that
every merchant should possess. The
trouble with the country business is
that it is allowed to fall to much in n
rut. 1t is not to be understood that
any radical departures from old lines
should be made. There should be
freedom at the country store that does
not prevail in the city store; but there
is room for Il little enterprise in the
country.
A good many merchants have their
annual and semi.annual sales, but
more do not. There is no class who
would appreciate a summer remnant
sale more than the farmers wife,

\ TRIBUTE.

Mrs. Harris is dead = was the
painful news received in Norris on
Saturday. the 22d inst. Although not
entirely unexpected. it was shock to
her many friends here who had hoped
that by IL removal from this city to
her parents home in Ortonville the
change might be beneficial. We know
now that our hopes were not to be
realized, and while our hearts are very
sore and sad and feeling very deeply
for the bereaved, we cannot think her
dead; she only sleepeth to awake again
more glorious and beautiful i'll her
robes of righteousness. We cannot
speak in too much praise of this love-
ly, womanly woman who has gone be-
fore. TO know her was to love her.
In choosing Mrs. Harris for friend
one felt it was not Tor II day, but to-
morrow and always, or just so long as
we proved worthy of that friendship.
Auu WilIle IIllS dIlllCUIoh oS'lll" -"
cruel and hard to be borne by the be-
reaVed, and so hard for them to let the
grave have their loved one, when the
future looked so bright and promising,
in my poor and weak tribute to dear
Mrs. Harris let me say to those who
are left. we know not the ways of
Providence. The Father hath need OF
her. He said, ''Daughter, come home;

me that Ger all this shadoWing gloom

Every prominent horse paper, prior
to the opening of the race season of
81, predicted that it would be the
greatest year in the annals of horse
racing, and the records of the grand
circuit show already the prophecy be-
ing realized. The king of stations,
Nelson, at Independence, last week,
reduced his record to 2:10, and Aller-
ton the property of not "lucky," but
wise Mr.. Williams, reduced his record
to 2:12.
The king of PAGERS, Hal Pointer,
has reduced consecutive heat record
and is winning all the free-for- rails, and
nearly every heat he reels off like
piece of machinery, better than 2:11.
Yolo Maid pursues him like shadow,
and ere the season closes, Johnsons
record will be smashed without
doubt.
Great things are expected at Inde
pendence, Iowa, this week.
Dash trots have been tried and en-
dorsed by horsemen and the public.
1t seems the surest way to get honest
trots and obviate those cruel split
heat races, where there is chance for
crookedness and many good horse
is ruined.
While all the United States is agog
over the big races, the citizens of
Stevens county should awake to the
fact that on Sept. 18th, 18th, and 18th
they will have an opportunity of see
ing some good races at the Morris
Driving Park. The Association is
hanging up 100000 in purses and it
is going to draw large field of first
class horses. The secretary is kept
busy answering enquiries from horse
men all over the west, who signify
their intention of bringing their horses
to Morris.
This is no money-making scheme
for any individual or association. The
Assocition, with courage, have guar
anteed large purses to give the citizens
of Stevens County grand sport.
Every resident should appreciate it
and arrange to be in attendance every
day. We have been blessed with
big crop; every one can afford it; let
it be the greatest concourse of people
ever gathered in Mocris-A grand
harvest celebration!
This meeting is honorably conduct
ed; there is nothing immoral con-
nected with it, so don't think it incon-
gruity when we suggest the following
program for the harvest festival, on
Sept. 18th, 18th and 18th: Services
in the churches in the morning, thank
ing the Lord for the bountiful crops,
and the races in the afternoon at the
Driving Park.

from whom we learn that the frost of
last Saturday night damaged corn and

bad. With the splendid prospect of
