J. II, Olson, Of Willmsr, : builder
and contractor, was Ia the city today
and 1t 10 understood his mission was ia
figure . little on 4 contract soon to be
let for the erection Of q large business
block. While here he was the guest
of Attorney Samuel Olson G lenwood

The Morris Sun has been enlarged
to twelve pages and many new features
have been added. That Morris is
proud OF its growing "Sun" Is shown
by the liberal amount OF advertising
appearing on its pages. Both the
editor as we'll as the business men of
the "town up the line" are to be con-
graduated on this latest evidence OF
their enterprise and prosperity.
According to the Benson Times an
Injunction has been served on the
county officers restraining them from
paying to the Appleton Swift County
Fair Association the 5000 appropriated
by the board of county commissioners.
The injunction was procured by c. B
McCune, OF Benson. who was # q aest-
ed to start the proceedings by some of
the heavy tax payers of the county.
Under the caption, ''Freaks of Ma.
ture," the Browns Valley Tribune
says: '.Eyeless fish are reported to
be coming out of flowing we'll at
Fergus Falls, and blind pigs are being
paraded in the streets at Willmar."
While the former may possibly be
true, We can safely say that the later
is not, for the 'pigs" here are so
scarce that q parade of that nature is
an impossibility. And right here we
might also state that our ladies can
safely parade the streets without meet
ing a drunken man at every turn. II
you want q good, clean city to live
in, come to Willmsr.

able to account for the suicide in any
other manner than that he committed
the deed in q fit of mental alteration
consequent upon one of his sick spells

The following item from the Raymond

be of interest to the young man 3 many
Willmar friends:
There is an old saying "It's q good
joke on Ole," but this has been re-
versed this week and Ole has the joke
on the rest of Us. The instance re-
terred to is one which took place a.
Benson last Tuesday, when Ole J
Bierke, our popular tonsorial artist
and Miss Julia Nyhus, of Benson
were joined for life as man a ID wife
1t certainly was surprise to every
body and hardly q person surmised
when the groom took the train las
Monday noon that he was about tC

his many friends in extending con
gratu lations and wishing him and hi
