The local politicians are beginning
70 size things up and cast their
weather eye about. So far there are
but few candidates in the field for
mayor or city councilmen, but we
suppose as the time for election draws
nearer the aspirants will become more
numerous. Let every one. look to
their ballot and vote for men that
have the welfare of the city and peo-
pie at heart. We want man for
mayor who is an all round business
man and a hustler; a man who is
constantly on the lookout for any
thing and everything that will be a
benefit to the city and to the people;
one that will look to and advocate all
Improvement that will benefit you
and help the growth of your city.
The greatest drawback to half the
cities in the United States is not hav-
ing the right kind of men in Office.
Morris has plenty of good men, and
good hustlers, and men that want to
see the city advance. Be sure and
pick them out and elect them.

BOBBY BURNS.
The Darkest and Most Critical Days In the
Life of the Poet.

The Darkest and Most Critical Days In the
Life of the Poet.
AS it is always darkest before the
dawn, the year which was the most
critical in Burns life and which was
destined to give birth to his better
fortune opened with peculiar and
unmitigated dreariness. The Kill
marnock edition of 1885 appeared
while the poet was "skulking from
covert to covert to avoid the Jail
with which Jean Armour's father
threatened him; it's raison d'etre
was the earning Of sufficient money
to pay his passage to Jamaica. Hav.
ing 'pocketed, all expenses deduct
ed, nearly 920," Burns took final
farewell of his friends He says:
My chest was on my way to
Greenock when a letter from DR..
Blackjack (of Edinburgh to friend
of mine overthrow all my schemes
by opening up now prospects to my
poetic ambition.
His fame was, in fact, spreading
rapidly. Farm laborers and servant
girls expended their hardly earned
wages on the purchase of his poems,
and the name of the Ayrshire
Plowman' began to be noised among
mem bers of weather. and more Gull
tivated circles. The first person to
extend to him the right hand of fel.
lowship was Dugald Stewart; the
second was Mrs. Dunlop. Their
friendship came with all the charm
of novelty which is yetnot strange,
but supplies a long felt though in
defnable need, while, in the latter
case, Burns proud and independent
spirit was gratified by the knowl-
edge that the obligation was not all
on his side, but that Mrs. Dunlop
and her friends had reason to be in
debted to his poets spells.
After two winters spent in Edin-
burgh, which seem to have given
the poet more disappointment and
disgust than qualification, Burns

lop belong. They are chiefly inter
esting as indicating Burns real
views on his excise post and his dis
taste to farming. There were bad
times in the eighteenth as in the
nineteenth century, and in a letter
of March 25, 1889, we hear Burns
raising the farmers customary COM

Madam, had two plans of life

mistaken benevolenoe, sought me

and easy. was stranger to the
country, the farm, the soil, and so

of being comfortable, is and will be
a very hard bargain, if at all prac-
ticable. I am sorry to tell you this,
madam, but it is a damning truth.

The McKanIass Co.

The McKanlass company gave two
performances here last week, Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, which
were to speak the truth. rather tame.
The first night was variety, or
rather mixture OF singing, dancing
and instrumental music. The second
night was an attempt, and poor one
at that, at minstrelsy. We should do
justice, though, to one member of
the company-little Patti, who is
practically the mainstay of the troupe.
She is good, and we'll worth the price
of admission to hear her sing.

also informed the TRIBUNE scribe tina!
they had secured the promise of 361
COWS within the required radius, and
several neighborhoods to hear from.
This makes it almost dead certain
ty, as thirty-nine COWS are all that
are lacking, and the territories to
hear from can surely furnish at least
100, which will make considerably
over 400, the number required to
start with.

Glencoe, Mimi, Jan. 15.-Ihe an
nual meeting of the Glencoe Cream
cry Association was held yesterday
afternoon. The secretary's report
shows that during the year the fac
tory received 1,761,O36 pounds of
milk, and manufactured 1854 lbs of
butter. Total receipts for the year.
Sl5,773; expenses, $2,763.
This is very good showing, and
if they can do that at Glencoe, surely
we can do it in Morris. It averages
the year around III cents a pound.
Now deduct cents a pound, the cost
Of manufacturing, and you have Is
9 ents a pound net for your butter
for the year, and all you do is to milk
and haul it to the creamery. This,
we dare say is more than the farmer
is averaging today.

and credit is bestowed upon the
gentler sex who so successfully made
the arrangements of this grand fete.
The attendance was the largest seen
in Morris in many a day. 1t was the

construction of the Schuylkill Telephone
Company has been awarded, and that work
would begin soon. In speaking to a director
of the company to-day he says the line will

The line will cover total distance of sixty
miles, and will take in all the principal
towns Of Schuylkill county, through which
rights of way have already been secured. II
is estimated that the cost of construction will
not fall far short of 100000. Over eight
hundred poles will be used to operate the
| line, and fully one thousand miles of copper
wire.
Our informant says the company has every
reason to feel satisfied with the outlook
Already there are over eight hundred sub
scribers secured, and the number is constantly
growing. Mr.. Edwin C. Price, of Ashland, is
