Ira Dowell, winner of the first prize, hung up a remarkable score, shooting a gross of 207 for eighteen holes, which is not so bad for a "kid." As a matter of fact, many of the regular members of the club would be willing to boast of such an achievement. There were twelve entrants in the tournament, three of whom failed to finish.

RESOLUTIONS Whereas, In the providence of God, there has been removed from our midst a beloved member of our society, Carrie Petersen, who departed this life on Aug. 15, 1924, and Whereas, The officers of the Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church are desirous of putting on record their appreciation of her character and worth and of showing their sympathy to her family; Therefore be it Resolved by said Officers, That in the death of Carrie Petersen the society loses from its ADDmONXITEXCHANGE •A crowd, estimated it 4,000, attended the annual Woodman picnic as held at Round Lake one day recently. The postofflce at Fox River Grove were entered some time during Tuesday nig^t of last week and relieved of $36. Lake Villa's ' new $10,000 school building is practically completed and will be ready for the fall opening of school. C. J. Wheeler, one of Crystal Lake's most ardent fishermen, has taken 125 bass from the lake there thus far this season. The Rt. Rev. P. J. Muidoon has accepted an invitation to be present at the Catholic church bazaar at Crystal Lake this (Thursday) evening. Fred Meyer made a shipment of fourteen horses from Belvidere and seventeen from Creston to Ringling Brothers' and Barnum & Bailey's cir (•us in Chicago last week. The high water has submerged a portion of the Grass Lake«Antioch road to such an extent as to make nec essary the construction of a wooden bridge 250 feet long to open up the way to traffic. Miss Mariam Bennett, new advisor for the McHenry County Home Bureau, arrived in Woodstock last week and immediately took up her duties. She comes to McHenry county from Clear Lake, Wis. . Burton Wright, for many years one of McHenry county's most prominent farmers, passed away at his late home in Woodstock last week, aged ninetyfive yeiars. The deceased had been a resident of the county since 1869. The electric shop at Crystal Lake, of which H. H. McCollum is the head, last week was awarded the contract for the installation of an ornamental street lighting system on the north side of the business section of that city. The Contract calls for the installation of posts, conduit, wires and. in fact, the complete job. The job wil' cost $1165. The south side of the business section installed a Ijke system some months ago. A bad cave-in of Wauconda's sewer system in Slocum road is costing that village considerable money. The cave-in was first noticed about three weeks ago and became so serious that the village engaged tht services of the E. R. Harding company of Racine to make the repair. The trouble, it is said, was caused by quick sand, which caused the breaking of the pipe. To prevent a reoccurrence of the trouble a ten foot steel sheeting is being driven down on either side of the pipe. The repair work has now been going on for more than two weeks and there is no telling how soon the job will be completed. The Lake county board of supervisors at their meeting to be held on Sept. 9, will probably take action on the proposition to dispose of the present poor farm property located near the village of Libertyville. ' According to reports from Lake county all of the buildings on the farm are sadly iw need of repair and some must be entirely rebuilt in order to give the best of service. In view of the fact that the property now occupied by the farm has so greatly grown in value, it is the opinion of many that the farm should be sold and another cheaper site obtained. The land, it is declared, would bring a very good price at this time. Four Chicago men were arrested on the cement highway near Volo at three o'clock on a recent Sunday morning. The arrests were made by two Lake county motorcycle police-' n.en, who took their charges to Wauconda, where they were lodged in jail. At seven o'clock the following morning they appeared before Justice R. C. Kent, where the driver was assessed a fine of $50 and costs, while the other three were given $25 and costs each. It is said that a half lozen bottles of "moonshine" whiskey and, a bottle of home brew were found n the car. The charges against the quartet were for drunkenness and reckless driving. , JUDGE BARNES WINNER IN PRESIDENT'S TOURNEY Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Hough and family and Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Vogt of this city in the finals for the president's cup. The winner had his opponent two up and one to go when they finished.
