Thos. A. Bolger, president of the community high school board, acted as auctioneer. The buildings brought $66.00. The barn on the property was purchased by Win- Etten for $18.00; the Herbes homestead was bought by Wm. Herbes for $89» who also acquired the little brick cottage, which sold for $7.00. An out house sold for $2.00. Under the purchase agreement all of the buildings, with the exception of the brick cottage, are to be removed within thirty days. The brick cottage will be used as a tool and storage house by the contractors who are to erect the new community high school building. As stated in last week's issue, the contractors are very anxious 'to get started and dirt will begin to move just as soon as weather conditions will permit. It is possible that materials for the new structure will start arriving within the course of the next week or two. We understand that Mr. Herbes expects to move the frame house to a lot weet of the railroad tracks which he porch awed some time ago.

The storm was accompanied by an unusually strong wind, which playefl bride wore a gown of midnight blue crepe de chine trimmed in silk Spanish lace, while the bridesmaid was attired ! in a dress of navy blue satin. Both havoc with the telephone and electric | carried bouquets of sweet peas. light lines which run into McHenry. As a matter of fact, the village was almost isolated from the balance of the world on Monday morning. The electric as well as telephone service was put out of commission. Never before has a storm <h&M so much damage to the telephone lines leading into this village. Between 400 and 500 poles of (he Illinois Bell Telephone company, which serves the McHenry exchange, were broken off and leveled to the ground. The American Telephone & Telegraph company's line which passes thru this village was also badly damaged. How many Mrs. Dean Thompson of Spring Grove, a close friend of the bride, played the wedding march and also sang "I Love You Truly" Won the ceremony. A two course luncheon was served the bridal party and about twentyfive relatives and friends immediately after the ceremony.

She has always resided in this community, where' her ladylike manners and pleasing disposition have next Saturday morning and with favorable weather conditions same.will be witnessed by the largest congregation that has ever assembled for a like purpose. The Right Reverend Peter J. Muldoon, D. D., bishop of Rockford, will be in charge of the dedication, while the very Reverend Denis J. Donne, D. D-, chancellor of the areh diocese of Chicago, will preach the dedicatory sermon. The activities of the day have been left in charge of the members of the Holy Name society of St. Patrick's church and nothing will be left undone by this body of men which will fore the meeting and as a result a committee was appointed to solicit the dairymen with a view of interesting a sufficient number to make the reorganisation of the old protective associa- R possibility. This organization "o* has a fund of over $200 to its credit, which can be made available. The purpose of this organization is to pay its members for losses sustained in not being able to market their milfe because of quarantine.

The work of moving in the machinery and equipment is now going on and within the course of the next few days the shop will be ready for business.

A full basement bad, is also true on the Pistakee Bay road. Quite a number of poles are also broken off on the lines towards Ringwood and «Volo and to the sputh. From present indications it will require some weeks to repair the damage as d-*ne in the McHenry territory. Wni'e most of the telephone trouble was cleared up within the corporate limits of the village by Tuesday morning, there are still about 166 farmers' ulations.

The Plaindealer is one of the McHenry places which was affected and as a result our linotype machine was not started until Wednesday morning machine is started for newspaper composition on Tuesday morning. This will account for our lateness in getting our paper into the mails this week.

The church edifice will be decorated for the occasion in the papal colors of white and gold, the decorations being in charge of E. R.

The altars from the old Church will be removed to the new one sometime today or tomorrow as will the organ, altho new altars and a new pipe organ will be installed just as soon as conditions will permit. Cary State bank, said that the bankers and business men should give their moral and financial support to the association. He pointed out that the poor financial condition of the dairy farmers of this district was caused by the $1.50 price and by the heavy spreads taken by the marketing company. in conclusion he stated that the Milk Producers' association was the solution of the dairymen'^ problems, if given proper support. Mr. Allen's talk was very well received. The fact that he is a successful business man and also that he is well and favorably known in this territory convinced his audience that his advice was sound when he urged them to boost the Milk Producers' association.

Electricity Restored Tuesday Night The electric service' in McHenry was partially restored <&i Tuesday evening. The Public Service company sent a gang of twelve men to McHenry on Monday to repair the damage as done in this immediate vicinity. This is continue for some time to come as there is plenty of work ahead in repairing the great damage done in this immediate locality by the most destructive storm that has ever visited this section. RURAL LETTER CARRIERS • HANDICAPPED BY 8TORM It WM utterly impossible for the rural letter carriers traveling out of the two postoffices hereto make their routes on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Altho efforts were made to get thru, these faithful servants of Uncle Sam could get but a trifle farther than the outskirts of the pillage on these two days. Since that time, however, all have been able to make a part of their respective routes, altho none so far have completed the entire distance.
