A great source of annoyance and ex-
pense to railway companies is the en-
croachments of the grass which grows
around the rails of their lines. An
effective mode of getting rid of this
nuisance has just been devised in the
shape of an electrical vegetation de-
stroyer. This consists of a wire brush,
very much in appearance like an ordi-
nary scrubbing brush. This Is con-
nected by q wire with n dynamo in
the nearest available electric light or
power station. A powerful current is
turned on, and an operator drags the
fully charged brush, which is supplied
with a wooden handle. over the grass,
killing 1t instantly.

The County Board.

The people of the county have now
an opportunity to break the almost
solid iron clad county board, by
electing new men VIII o are not under
the party lash. The first and third
districts elect commissioners at the
election on the 9Th. of next month,
The peoples party has place d George
Borrill, of Rendsville, in nomination;
the democrats we believe make no
nomination. Mr.. Borrill has lived a
long time in Rendsville; is well
known and highly respected; he is
capable of making a good commits
sioner, and would serve his consti-
tuency well. AS Rendsville has never
had commissioner; it would be but
justice to that town to elect Mr..
Borrill.
The democrats and peoples party
have both selected Henry Schrapps
of Synnes, as their candidate in the
third dictrict. We can say Of Mr..
Schrapps as Of Mr.. Borrill, he has
lived a long time in this district; in
fact has grown up in it; h is record is
unblemished, and the people of that
district will have no cause to blush
for him. Like Mr.. Borrill, he is an
honest farmer, and will know nothing
but the strictest economy in the
affairs of the county. In the matter
of county commissioners, citizens
should discard party, and vote for the
best men. The election of these two
gentlemen would break the ''close
communion" of the present board, as
there is already one staunch reformer
Fred Heller. We hope to see
both triumphantly elected.

Columbus DaX.

Who ever would venture the re-
mark on Friday last, that Morris is a
childless town would make a bad
mistake. The Columbus celebration
on that day brought out the infantry
in great force; the east side public

their head, and flags flying to the
high school ON the west side; where
both assembled for the days wo:k.
The raising of the flag was the
first part of the ceremony, the child
rem marching around the flag pole
with remarkable precision, and when
the proper time same they saluated

were opened with prayer by Rev. FL.

exercises.
AS whole it was the finest school
display ever witnessed in Morris the
singing was good, the recitations were
good, the speaking was good and the
scholars ran well up into the hund-
reds. If the shade of Columbus was

for tie admirable training displayed

was happy, everybody was happy;
and thus ended very memorable day
in Morris.
