A number of our baseball players and fans were at McHenry last Sunday afternoon, where they saw Elgin defeated 7 to 8. Quite a few from this locality attended the funeral of John Huemaiyi which took place at McHenry last Sunday afternoon. Both the parochial and district schools will open here for the season next Tuesday morning and it is hoped that all children of school age will be present on the opening day. Misses Clara and Rose Klapperich, K&thryn Ootfing and Messrs. Frank Klapperich and George Oeffling were Chicago visitors the latter part of last and the first of this week. The summer season is just about at a close and Johnsburg can truthfulljr say that she entertained more visitors and reaped a bigger harvest this summer than in any season previous. Dancfes will be conducted at Nell's Columbia park pavilion on Sunday and Monday evenings next. These will probably be the last week end dances of the season, altho the Wednesday night events will be continued as long as the weather will permit. Mrs. Anna Adams, who has been spending the summer with relatives here, is spending the week as the guest of McHenry relatives and friends. Mrs. Adams expects to return to Iowa for the winter, where she will reside with her children. Hon. Gus Schoel of McHenry was canvassing the village last Sunday morning in the interest of county politicians to whom he is favorable. Whether or not the visit will result in many votes for his candidates remains to be seen. Ha may rent^ a hall on his next trip. Raymond Diethorn of this place bears the distinction of having WOR first prize at the spelling contest conducted in connection with the rural school day program at the coVirt house in Woodstock last Thursday. The contest was participated in by schol ars from rural schools all over the county and Raymond's feat not only puts him in a class by himself when it comes to spelling, but also is distinct credit to the Johnburg school, where he is a student. A large number of our baseball fans were heard to express disappointment last Sunday morning after the an ' nouncement was made that Wauconda had cancelled the baseball game which was to have been staged at Wauconda that afternoon. Johnsburg has been particularly anxious for a "crackf at Wauconda as the locals feel that they can lick them. With Johnsburg going the pace she has traveled during the past few weeks it will take a good amateur team to beat them. The fans age now discussing Johnsburg's chances at McHenry next Sunday afternoon, when the locals will meet Geier's youngsters in the third game of the season. Johnsburg has already scalped McHenry two games and if confidence counts for anything the game next Sunday is already won by our boys. At any rate, the home players are going to McHenry with the intention of winning and will not be counted out until the last man has been retired. A big following of fans will accompany .the team to McHenry. The Central garage of this place has been successful in the sale of a Cletrac tractor, together with the entire outfit which goes with same, to John B. Dowe, who reside* near Volo. A demonstration of *the machinery was recently made on the Dowe farm and so pleased was he with the work of the tractor and the balance of the outfit that a deal was at once closed for the purchase of same. The Cletrac has demonstrated time and time again that it is one of the best of the small tractors now being manufactured and the makers as well as the local agents stand back of every sale. Another very fine piece of work done by the Cletrac was in the slough on the John Huff farm, which, was plowed up recently. RlNGWOOp Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stoffel are visiting relatives in Ohio. Wm.
