in Morris this season than there ha
been any previous year during tn
last ten years. Additions to resi-
dences, new buildings, new sidewalk
and new fences are to be seen in al
parts of the city, and in addition t.
these improvements large numbe
of shade trees have been planted, ad
ding much to the attractiveness oil
our town. We claim no "boom" fol
Morris, but we do claim, and justly
too, that our city is having a steady
healthy growth. There are no vacant
dwelling houses or business build
ings, which is the best evidence that
Morris is in healthful business con
dition.
Mrs. L. r. Pratton, Rockford, Ill
writes: "From personal experience |
can recommend De Wits Sarsaparilla,
cure for impure blood and general de-
bility." Hulburd & Co.
Speaking of advertising towns a
writer in Printers Ink says: ON this
line of aids nothing is more important
or more material help than a good
hotel. The hotel is the pulse by
which the observing man judges of
the health, enterprise and future con-
dition of the town. A good hotel
draws all kinds of people to place
and it advertises in many ways. The
drummers stop within its doors when
ever possible and always plan to pass
the Sunday with the host; tourists
hear of it and lay over day or two
and view the town; excursion trains
will stop at -- an hour or two for
dinner and so the good hotel is an
immense aid to town anxious to
grow"
Morris can boast of as good hotel
as any town in the Northwest-The
Morris.
Sank Centre Avalanche: An excur-
sion party from Morris, numbering
from seventy-five to one hundred,
passed through the city on Saturday
evening about 1870 o'clock enroue
for an outing at Birch Lake. They
were accompanied by the Morris cor
net band, and, for commander-in-
chief, had that years-ago dubbed
good fellows, Charley Win
termute. After arriving at the depot
they marched up to the Sank Centre
House headed by the band, where a
halt was called and after three cheers
for Morris by the crowd, which were
responded to by the excur-
the band rendered a couple
Of pieces in very creditable manner,
and were loudly cheered for their
proficiency. The party was then re-
formed and marched to the residence
IF the editor Of the Avalanche where
more music by the band followed,
which brought the said editor to the
front door when three cheers were
proposed by the commander-in-chief
which were briefly responded to and
md the cigars were passed. 1t was
to tell the number present
out to the editors owing either
% the darkness or Charley's method
If arranging, the crowd on the
5wo streets-there seemed to be three
or four thousand, and all remarkably
fine looking, another sample of our
fair sister city's population. On
recent visit of ten, the Avalanche
5ook occasion to comment upon their |
appearance and to observe that Morris |
need not be ashamed Of the sample. |
The same observation will apply |
equally to the latter contingent, and |
;he Avalanche tenders it's editors |
3incerest thanks for the honor of the |
'erenade, and space and time only to
oblige the foregoing of paying proper
respect to that redoubtable friend,
co-hunter and teal duck |
fisherman of twenty eight years ago
Charlie Wintermute of Morris. Long
may he wave, hunt, and-fish.
