A Good Showing.

There is one thing certain besides
death and taxes and that is that
Morris and Stevens county are keep
ing abreast with the times. To take
a casual glance over the town, the
first thing to be impressed upon a
persons mind is that we have busy
town, thrifty and industrious set of
citizens, Besides the building spoken
of in our last issue, we learn there
are several others which will soon be
in course of construction, among
them being Senator Zones, G. D.
Sterling, S. Stewart, and three others
we do not know.
An unusual amount OF repair work
has been going on all spring, such
as remodeling, painting and paper
hanging, every painter and paper
hanger in town. having more work
than they could do,
A large dairy farm is being put in
shape in the west outskirts of the
town by Christian Everson, of Waton-
wan county. Last week several car
loads of horses, implements and lum-
Der arrived, since when a force OF
men have been at work.
Not only is business on the hustle,
but real estate is keeping pace. The
John Grove Land Co., in tue last ten
days, have sold 1860 acres of land in
this county to : the following: $50
acres in Horton to VIM. Stauffer of
Winnebago City; $50 acres in Horton
to Louis Metska, of Winnebago City;
$40 acres in Scott to D. C. Green of
Wikoff; 320 acres in Rendsville to
T. 0. Allen of Winnehago City; so
acres in Horton to Ludwig Allen of
Alden.
So it is easy to be seen that BUSH
ness in general is forging right
to the front in this county. Our
merchants are all doing big bust
ness and people are looking forward
to the return of prosperity with conf
dence that it is coming.
