The bride was prettily attired iu a walking costume of brown silk, the groom wearing a becoming suit of black. The presents were numerous and attractive and the feast bountifully spread and enjoyed by all. Owing to the fact that a few only of the most intimate friends and relatives lind been invited the number of guests in attendance was somewhat limited, but those who were present enjoyed a most delightful time. The newly married couple left immediately for their fu­ ture home In Wheaton, followed by the well wishes of all their friends. COM. SCHOOL. KKPOItT.

Harrison's Drue Store and at the Post Office EDITOR PLAINDEALER:-- It is a very pleasant thought that the stirring events of last Thursday were all wit­ nessed by and will receive attention at the hands •( ye genial editor. One little event in connection' with the Old Settlers meeting, however, may have escaped youratt«utiou. We prestfme it did for the reason that it occurred very early In the morning, as early. In fact, as 1:20. We refer to a "flag raising." We have been to some little trouble to get at the true inward­ ness of this performance aud it is our honest purpose to be ju6t In our report of results. The village of Wauconda owns a flag. It was paid for by sub­ scription and contributions were re­ ceived from Democrats, Remiblicaus and "nothings" indiscriminately, the Idea being to have a flag to be used on public occasions like Decoration Day, Fourth of July and the like. Now it came to pass that during the political stir last spring the local Republican comas! ttee used the flag ou tho occa­ sion ot a public meeting here and their most worthy example was emulated by the local Democratic leaders a few days later at a similar gathering.-- Thus far, then, "honors were easy," but uow cauie our Republican friends with another mass meeting and again does the village flag do duty for them. The meeting over and the morning after arrives aud where Is the glorious ban­ ner of liberty? Gone! No question about that, and the most persistent enquiry fails to reveal any idea where. No one can be found Who will admit having any knowledge of its where- aboutb. The matter is freely discuss­ ed aud variou* rumora are run down and exploded during ilie few days fol­ lowing and then the matter is appar­ ently diopped. Only apparently, how. ever, for our Republloan friends are after that filg all the time. Decora­ tion Day arrives and tihe flag is want­ ed for the occasion. Inquiry is again made, our democratic frieuds lire ap­ proached once more and again deny all knowledge of the flfg. A makeshift is substituted and the ̂ brave boys iu blue,*' who died in defeuse of the union are lemetubered as usual. The loving hands that each ye$r strew their graves with flowers were enabled to do so this year under the shadow of the dear old flag for which thev laid down their lives and this too, in spite of the questionable conduct of the party or parties who all this time had the vil­ lage flag in their possession. When Old Settlers day came around Mr. Robt. Harrison conceived the idea of putting a watch oil certain points with a view of finding out who If any one would show signs 3f repentance aud works meet therefor. Mis foresight was rewarded and a well known Hard, ware merchant of the town and his clerk were fairly caught in the act of raiding the flag iu its proper place at the unseemly hour of 1:20 A. M. last Thursday, The partly* «re well known and comment seeuis unnecessary. We believe this to be a f ill-, uuprejuiliced statement of the facts, and if the par­ ties Implicated can derive any pleas­ ure In the contemplation of thetu we feel sure the citizens of Wauconda will join in a perfect willingness that they may. The periodical railroad excitement is at fever height again. Friday even­ ing a meeting was held in the cala­ boose in order to give Mr. T. Thomas and Mr. W, S, Grubb a chance to dis­ close their soheine to the business men- of this p>acc. One of the above gen* tie men comes from Chicago and the other from Baraboo, and tiieir plan if to oouneot a wad frouwome point on the C. «Jfc N. W, near Palatine, to Lake Geneva, and then sell It td the C, & N. W. They ofcred to build It from Lake Zurich to this place for 925,000,' and say tiiat if a united eflort in made by the people along the line the project is sure to go through, A committee was appointed to examine into the matter. You can't do better if yon want to preserve noire memento of Old Set­ tlers Day tliau to buy a Photo of the Log Ci.blii, Miller has them lor sale. Wanted--A liberal reward will be given to the party or parties present­ ing the best design for a Lea'her Mfdal, to be given to the Barge Com­ mittee. Those intending to contest must hand in their application soon. Mr. Miller, the Artist from McHenry still has his tent on the public square, and he int"nds to remain there some time. Those who wiijh to see them­ selves In a frame will not soon have a better opportunity. ' Few towns can show a painter that can handle a brush as wall a? Mr. Wait did wheu he made ilie "Welcome" sign that hung across the street at Gohlings Everyone remarked ou the skill shown in painting It. The Drum Band did themselves brown. The Pratt House was full aud so was its table. You may put as many in there as possible and you can't eat them out. Mr, Pratt is bound to have a bountiful supply of the good things to eat, and he always does. Some Hainesville parties had a nl;e sail boat on the Lake, but as it was not advertised few knew it. and so few availed the nselves of the chance to en­ joy Hsail. Quite a number of Wauconda Masons attended the funeral of a brother Ma- sou at Bafrington on Sundny morning. They had an impromptu dance at the Bowery on Saturday eveuiug which was a decided success. The "Lakesldes" are to play the "Riversides" at the grounds of the lat­ ter on July 4th. lliohmond Department. COXTRTBL'TKD BY S. F. BENNETT. S. K..

We are told, (and not by Interested parlies eithei) that Messrs. Burrows & Birch mak*? a better cheese box for the money llian Is made at any other manufactory in Northern Ill inois, Not yntll Friday, or thereabout, were the citizen* of the village made aware that any change in tl ie administration of the Richmond .post Office was con­ templated. Then it transpired that 1). A. Potter had been appointed as suc­ cessor to J. V. Aldrloh. and we suppose the new office will be located, pretty soon, in Mr. Potter 's store, I t will not be quite a# convenient location as the corner, but is a good one nevertheless. The Richmond House, under the able administration of Landlord Culver, is indeed a home-like place for the "wea­ ry sojourner" to go to. Everything about the house is new and clean, the lundladv is the right woman in the right place, landlord Culver seems to have been horn lo be a landlord.-- Aflahie to all who enter the house, he makes friends il l the t ime. The iuU tial dance which Mr, Culver gave was a success. The company was not aionc composed of young people from abroad, but many of our prominent citizens attended, to show their appre­ ciation of a good hotel. Whether or not i t be the effect of the pruachiug we have done through the I 'LAiNPKAi-i ' l t for some years, mod­ esty forbid# us to guess, but one fact i» patent to any one who travels over the roads now-a-days, viz: that those having that work in charge are In most cave*, showing more sense than com­ mon. Piling mud. or dirt to make mil l into the middle of the road is not so often seaii . but gr,m| gravel and sand instead, 4s being used. Heretofore much of the work on the roads has been worse than thrown a.vay. Most of the pathm:t*tcr* ought to have "eand and, gravel" beaten Into their heads, even if i t has to be done with a big gravel stone.
