the marriage of MIR. j. w. Harris and
Miss Nellie Gray.
A large delegation from Herman
visited Morris Saturday, and among
the ladies present we noticed Mrs. T.
III. Barrett the Misses Hixon, Spence,
Noel and Azelia Wells.
On Friday afternoon w. A. Proud
foot and Miss Della Sax were united
in marriage by Rev. Geo. Willet.
The bride is daughter of Constan-
tine Sax of the town of Morris.
On Saturday last, Justice Gillespie
united the following parties in mar
riage namely, Hokon j. Severtson and
Eleonora Swanson, and Grant H..
Garrett and Christina Haugen.
Ole Clementson, one of the old
settlers of Donnelly, was arrested and
bound over to the next grand jury on
a charge of disposing of mortgaged
property. He gave bail in the sum
of $500, for his appearance.
| A long string of teams, headed for
the cities, and laden with ditching
implements, passed through town
last Thursday, having completed
their seasons work on state ditching
contracts in northern counties.
Considering that the weather was
unpropitious and that the times are
unfavorable financially, the Catholic
fair was success beyond conservative
expectations, and Melted the ladies a
goodly sum in excess of expenses.
Prices for wheat show no signs of
rally, and had it not been for the
refusal of western roads to put winter
rates in force until navigation closes,
it is probable we would have seen a
a fall in prices equal to the advance
in transportation charges.
Some of our old settlers are en-
phatic in asserting that the signs in
dictate warm and open winter, and
we'll take it as a settled fact that the
aforesaid old settlers are correct,
salaried weather prophets to the
contrary notwithstanding.
A dime social will be held at the |
Congregational church on tomorrow
evening, and pleasing literary and |
musical program has been prepared.
AS the proceeds are to be devoted to |
church purposes, it is hoped that
there will be general attendance.
The Herman and Morris foot ball
teams have been invited to play at
Appleton next Saturday, and if the
weather is fine and it is possible to
get the teams to make the trip, the
probabilities are the final game of the
series will be played at that place..
An effort recently made to have the
day passenger train run as far as
Breckenridge, for the accommodation
of towns west of Morris, has not been
successful, and we are informed by
authoritative sources that no change
will be made at least before spring.
The young peoples society of
Christian Endeavour held largely
attended social at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. j. Munro on last
Friday evening. The occasion was
pleasant and entertaining, and those
in attendance had an enjoyable time.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. McNally passed
through Morris on Thursday last en-
route for their home in Chokio. The
happy couple, who were just return
ing from their wedding trip, were the
recipients of many sincerely cordial
congratulations and we'll wishes.
Wheat receipts during the past |
week have averaged about four
thousand bushels per day, and the
quality is good, the wheat passing
inspection with but nominal dock |
age for foul seed. Flax receipts are
light as yet, and there has not been a |
very large quantity of oats marketed. |
Now that the campaign has ended, |
business has resumed the even tenor
of its way and the interruption was
barely noticeable locally. Collections
are fair but will improve as soon as
farm work is completed. Trading is
showing steady and very salts
factory increase, a much larger per

them warm water, immerse the end
of the sore finger in the ashes, set the
dish on some live Goals or on the
top of the stove, keeping the finger in
as long as you can, and soak it
several times day. If taken in time
it generally prevents a feIon from
coming if the finger is wet with it
often.-Ex.
1t is very gratifying to note the in
creasing attendance in the singing
classes, and to the efforts of our lead
ing musicians, the ladies especially, is
due in great measure the success of
the undertaking. We have always
noticed the unselfsh efforts of many
of our prominent people, to aid and
