1t is not known as yet, whether the
N. P. will hold the Glenwood train
on Saturday, but we think if good
number win agree to go, the train
will be held. IL the company will
indicate that the train will wait,
provided good sized party go, we
believe number will attend.
And now comes the announcement
that gold has been discovered in this
county, on the east line about three
miles south of Cyrus. The find is
said to be on or near the old jackson
farm, and it is sure enough gold, but
whether in paying quantities remains
to be proven.
At the Republican caucus held last
Saturday evening, S. Larson was
chosen chairman and d. T. Wheaton
secretary. There being no oppos-
ition the following delegates were
chosen by reclamation: D. r. Suther-
land, III. S. Judson, Eric Peterson, w.
j. Munro, G. E. Camp, A. Watzke, T.
Thomasson and G.. E. Darling. The
delegates present were empowered to
cast the full vote of the delegation at
the convention and the chairman was
authorized to appoint a Republican
village committee of three.
On Thursday last Hurlburt & Left
wiches' trained horses and dog show
visited Morris, and had fair audiences
at both afternoon and evening per-
formances. AS an exhibition of the
possibilities that may be accomplished
by patient effort and the degree of
intelligence possessed by the horse
and the dog especially, the perfor-
nance was interesting and instructive.
The fact that most of our people had
seen the same performance on the
occasion of their previous visits &C.
counts for the attendance being only
fair.
On Saturday last the Morris first
nine and the new club, known as the
"Collars and Cuffs" played a five
inning game at the driving park, and
the contest called out a good sized
audience. There was some good
playing on both sides, but the &c.
and C's." surprised the spectators by
putting up a very creditable game,
and although defeated by a score of
Ii to 3, most of the scores were due
to errors attributable to the lack of
practice. With a little more practice
the first nine will have to play good
ball to keep their opponents from
winning.
On Sabbath morning last the children
of the Methodist church appropriately
observed Chiidrens' Day. The pro-
gram was arranged by the Epworth
League and the Junior League
decorated the edifice for the occasion.
Much credit is due the members of
these organizations, as the program
was admirable and the decorations
beautiful. It is pretty custom, this
observance of Childrens' Day, it
merits the time and attention given
to making it both attractive and
appropriate, and it's more general
observance with each succeeding
year is gratifying.
! How the fame of Morris horses is
spread abroad may be CLEANED from
