Any person who is contemplating a
change Of residence is DESTROYS of
knowing something of the surround
lngs which will obtain in his new
home-what he may expect to find
upon arrival and whether existing con-
dltions are such as would prove con-
genial and the opportunities sufficient
ly strong to induce a change. With a
view to furnishing prospective settlers
in Morrison county with brief pen
picture of Little Falls this article is
written.
just 10S miles to the northward from
the Twin Cities and located at what
is acknowledged to be one of the most
beautiful spots along the banks of the
Mississippi river, the splendid little
city of Little Falls, having a popula.
ton of approximately 1000, is
situated. In all respects it is
modern, up-to-date and progressive
commercial and manufacturing center,
having all the essential requirments of
urban life with none of the incon-
veniences of the large city. Fine
brick business blocks grace the main
business thoroughfares, presenting a
general idea OF solidity and prosperity
and these are utilized by as enterpris-
ing merchants and dealers as may be
found anywhere. There is nothing in
the line of necessities or luxuries
which may not be readily obtained at
prices considerably lower than in
larger cities making it an ideal and
economical place to live. It is the
county seat Of Morrison coutny and
consequently Of relative greater i'm
portance than any city or village.
Peopled by business and professional
men of high intelligence and pro-
.gressiveness, social conditions and
environment are all that might be
desired. All of the best known secret
organizations are literally represented
and have fiourishing lodges, social
functions are numerous particularly
during the winter months and lines OF
dema1kation between the 'classes''
are not so sharply drawn, as the Irish
man says: lone man is always as
good as another, and many times
much better.
Splendid church edifces have been
erected by the various denominations
and pastors OF the highest order con-
scientiously and painstakingly look
after their charges. Attendance at all
churches is liberal and there is
noticeable absence of crime of any and
every description within the CITY con-
fines. To give a better idea of the
church life of the city the following
may he enunerated: St. Francis
Xavier Catholic church, Sacred Heart
German Catholic church, st. Adelbert
Polish Catholic church. Church of Our
Savior, Episcopal; Congregational
church, First Baptist church, Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Presbyterian
church, Norwegian Lutheran church,
German Lutheran church, (two);
Swedish Methodist church, Swedish
Lutheran church, and Swedish Con-
gregationa] church. From the fore
going it may be readily seen that all
denominations and all natlonallties
may attend services of worship and
find society and conditions as congenial
and pleasant here as elsewhere.
A fine free public library is main
tanned, all the desirable books being
at the disposal of our citizens.
There is no reason why people max
ing home IN Little Falls should not
be both prosperous and happy. The
very finest of schools have been
provided for educational purpose, Iiv-
ing IS cheap, the climate all that could
be desired and the distance not too
great for those who might wish to
make occasional trips to the Twin
Cities or Duluth. Strangers are
always made warmly welcome and the
man or family who settles upon the
rich land Of the surrounding territory
Will find Little Falls an advantageous
trading point Where every courtesy
Will be extended and honorable treat
ment invariably accorded them.
Come to Little Falls and Morrison
county tor there is no better place in
which to make a home.
