WHEN this paper reaches our read­ ers the McHenry County Fair will be In full blast. Everything at this writ­ ing bids frtir for a good show and a large turnout, which speaks well for the officers of the Society, who have been up and doing, and have worked hard to make the Fair for 1881 a com­ plete success In every particular, and should receive the thanks of all for their combined efforts and continued persevereace in the njar.agement from the time of their election until the present. WE would^call especial attention to the new advertisement of Colby Bros., to be found in another column. They have their targe and commodious store filled to its utmost capacity with a choice and well selected stock of goods for the fall and winter trade, and are now offering bargains to cash buyers that are hard to beat. Their large Clothing Room is tilled full, and they have an assortment in both quality and style that cannot fall to suit all. Read the advertisement. WE have a new advertisement for the firm of FltzslmiKons A Evanssn, whjch Is unavoidably crowded out this week but will appear in our next. In the meantime we would advise all to call at tlioir store and examine their immense stock of Fall and Winter Goods which they have Just received and are now showing to the buying public. Their stock is large, has been selected with unusual care; and with especial reference to the wants of their customers, whom they are bound to please. I^ook out for tlisir new ad* vertieement next week IN another column can be found a new advertisement of J. W.

THE Ninth Annual Waukegan Fair will be held on September 36th to October 1st, inclusive, and promises to be even more attractive than in former years^and it now has the reputation of being one of the best Fairs In the Northwest. They put out this year a n$vel amusement programme, which includes exciting trials of speed, a Bicycle Tournament, and other attrac­ tions too numerous to mention. There is one thing, the Waukegan Fair al­ ways fills its programme, and this is what has made this Fair so popular In past years. The managers this year will leave nothing undone to keep up this good name, and the large number who usually attend from this county will be on hand as usual. Read the advertisement in another column. The Inter-State Industrial Exposition of Chicago. The Ninth Annual Exhibition of this Institution commenced Septeirber 7th, and closes October 22d, 1881.. It is the opinion of the managers of the in­ stitution, that in the display which is about to be laid before the people of the Northwest, they have succeeded more fully in realizing their aims than any other year that has preceded it. Therefore, it will be hardly necessary to assure our readers, fully acquainted Ss they are witli the general character and purposes of this important orga­ nization, that such annual exhibitions present to them the only opportunity of keeping abreast of the world in its latest inventions, in Industry and pro­ gress, iq science and art. The pressure for space this year lias so far exceeded other years that very many worthy ex­ hibits have been laid aside, as it was found impossible to locate them, hot the result has been beneficial in so far as it has increased the tone and form Of the entire exhibition.

New Goods lor the Fall a ud Winter trade, at Fitzsiuiiaoos A Evansou, GREENWOOD* EDITOR PLAINI>KAI,KR:~- It seems our distant neighbor over there in Volo'is a man who has posi­ tive convictions oir his own, and that however absurd they may appear to others, he means they shall be treated with becoming respect. Well we think lie is about right. We rather like that class of men'. They are somewhat tough customers to manage, to be sure, but if one Can once get their confidence, and thereafter treat them civilly, we have always found them reasonably and Tairly open to conviction, and in view of this fact we propose to set about the conversion of said sinner. In the issue of the PLAINS- DEALER of August 31st,he, J. Compton, reviews the question relative to "pray­ er" In a way which seems to Imply that his previous article on this sub­ ject was not fairly dealt with in the comments we ventured to make re­ specting it. We assure the gentleman that one of the objects we had in view was to convince him that his philoso­ phy is unsound so far as it relates to the economy of God's government of the world. We had no intention ot evading any legitimate issue. He says "I want no evasion, but a straight-for­ ward answer." This is just what we want and intend to give. But before we commence, it may be well to ascer­ tain definitely what !t is he wishes us to answer. Wo understand now as we understood at the fiist, that our Yolo neighbor is dissatisfied with the pres­ ent moral constitution of mundane things, and that he would have the Deity interfere arbitrarily to prevent moral evil? . so far at least, as it affects injuriously • the interests of our fellow man, It will be recollect­ ed that we objected to this pro­ posed new departure on the ground that it would interfere with man's free agency. Our neighbor con­ tends this objectiou does not apply to the case in hand. Here then is the is­ sue: He says, "so far as free agency is concerned it would certainly be un­ necessary to deprive man of it iu order to accomplish the feat of saving our President the suffering he has eudured If He (the Deity) had so willed it, the bullet which now lies buried in Presi­ dent Garfield's aiiotomy, could have easily been turned from its course and made to bury itseir in the wall, or re­ bound with such force as to kill the would-be-assassin. If the principle here euunslated does not abridge hu- mau freedom, then we yield the point. IB what consists freedom P We answer The ability to do #hat is possible to be done In ifesponse to the behest of the will. This applies to all intelli­ gences, from the Creator to the crea­ ture down to the most insignificant worm that crawls beneath our feet.-- Human freedom runs parellel with hu­ man ability to "will and to do." Abil­ ity to will is one of -the factors, the ability to execute, in obedience to the will. Is the other, ' Suppose onr neigh­ bor was stricken with paralysis to that extent lie could not move a limb, would he consider himself free? The slave has the physical ability ..to do as he pleases, but dare not. Is he free? If you raise your arm to strike down your enemy, and a third person standing bj' parries the blow, and does It every time, are you free to execute your pur­ pose® Suppose the Almighty by his sovereign will do this, is the case changed? What does freedom to will avail without freedom to execute? If a man is to be forever baffled Iu the way proposed by your Volo corres­ pondent, he might as well be bound liant^and foot. Paralyzed and balked in every effort to accomplish his object, volition would soon cease to be exer­ cised at all. Who ever wills to do an absolutely impossible thing? More­ over bow would it be possible in this state of things to develope moral chat- acter In human beings? Can the gen­ tleman tell? Is this sufficiently direct or are we again "evading" the point? The trouble with J. C., is tliisj He misconceives wherein freedom consists. Thus far we have passed in review the objection of J. C., as first stated and as reiterated in thin his reply to our Strictures. But iu this latter article we gst an additional Item or two which It would be uncivil not to notice. He says "the deity allowed the das­ tardly act to be perpetrated, and now, instead of giving our loved President back his health and permitting the sur­ geons to extricate tiie leaden missile of death He keeps it concealed from their view, and suffers the wounded man to lay in agony." And you really do think that the bullet not havidjg been found, is because the Almighty is keeping It concealed? Well, this is an original view of the case. We guess we8hall have to leave this specification unanswered. It is a little to muckle even for a Yankee like us to grapple with. Seriously, neighbor Compton, are you not a little gassy just, now? Hitherto we have treated this subject in good faith, but now the suspicion is creeping over us that thla thing is get­ ting ridiculous. Why man, the Deity is not Interfering with tto surgeons, their skill, simply, is at fault. Would you have the Deity supply the lack of surgical skill with a miracle? Do you really want him to turn Professor of Surgery and take.thiacase oat of the doctors hands? ' Do you t&tnk it would be better for you to receive ydur own knowledge In this way? Suppose 'you hau been boosted after this fashion over the multiplication table, and ev­ ery other difficulty vou have had to encounter through life, do you think you would be a smarter man for it? Really, we are getting interested in your case. But we do think that if J'ou should ever realize a dream of this kind, you will have to pray with more unction, and fast too, with more des­ perate self-denial than menv of your way of thinking are In the habit of do­ ing, and even then we will not vouch for results. Have we "switched off oo side atrack" this time? Is there any way for a Greenwoodite -w , ? v t • to test the culinary skill Of those Rich- moitdlte ladies to grandiloquently lauded by editor of Richmond Depart­ ment ? If these ladies can beat, some half »tx>re of our lady xastrometers it will be worth while to take a trip to Richmond to see the in. By the way what is "mninbletypej?" Do the Richmond ladies play at that game with the gentlemen, or is It MM exclu­ sively masculine pastime? If there is any fnn In it we would like to have a hand in it, or a mumble in it, or what­ ever is required to t*ke in the gusto. Married, at Geneva, Wis., Aug., 31st, by Rev. Mr. Goldsmith. Arthur W.

The enter­ tainment opened with "The Sun and the Seasons," after which Miss Camp­ bell gave a fine recitation, Mid closed with the "Fairy's Mission." Should Miss Campbeil visit McHenry we com­ mend liar to the favorable notice of the peopie. A short time since the Chicago Dai­ ly News published an iuterview be­ tween one of its reporters and myself relative to the origin and history of the "Sweet By and By." This article lias been copied by various papers in the United Stftes. It is so full of in­ accuracies that I feel compelled to take this public method of giving the his­ tory of the song, never before written by me. or any ether person properly authorized, so far as 1 know. The News article contains more Inaccura­ cies In the same space than 1 ever Baw before. Dates were wrong, names were wrong, a part was Imaginative, and even the words of the hymn were misquoted. I shall feel greatly oblig­ ed if the papers that have republished that article will also publish this cor­ rection. In the year 1861,1 became s resident of the Village of Elkhorn, Wis., the home of the composer. J. P. Webster, and shortly after became as soclated with III in In the production of sheet music (songs) and other musical works. In the summer or fall of the year 1867 we commenced work on "The Signet Ring; a new Sabbath School book," afterwards published by Messrs Lyon A Healy, Chicago. The Sweet By and By was one of the songs writ­ ten for that frork. Mr. Webster, like many musicians, w«s of an exceeding­ ly nervous and sensitive nature, and subject to periods of depression. In which lie looked upon the dark side of all things in life, I had learned his peculiarities so well tliat on meeting him, I could tell at aglaupe if he was In one of his melancholy moods, and had found that I could rouse III in from them by giving him a new song or hymn to work ou. On such an occa­ sion he came into my place of business and walking down to the stove, turned Ills back to me without speaking. 1 was at my desk writing. Presently I turned to him and said: "Webster, what is the matter now?" "It is no matter," he replied, "it will be all right by and by." The idea of a hymn came tome like a flash of sunlight, and ? replied: "The Sweet By and By! Why #would not that make a good hymn?" "Maybe it would," said he indiffer­ ently. Turning to the desk I penned the following words as fast as 1 could write: SWEET BY-AND-BY. There's a Land that is fairer titan day, And by faith we can see it afar, For >ho Father waits over the way. To prepare us a dwelling place there: In the Sweet By.and-By, We shall meet on that Beautiful Shore-- In the Sweet tty-und-Hy , We shall meet on that beautiful shore. We shall sing on that Beautiful Shore* The melodious songs of the blest, And onr spirits shall sorrow no more-- Not a sigh for t he blessiftg of rest! In the Sweet By-and-lty, We shall sing on thnt'Beautiftil Shora-- In the Sweet By-and.By, We shall sing on that Be*utliul Shore. To our Bountiful Father above, We will offer the trlbuto of praise, For the glorious gift of His lore, And the blessings that'hnl low our days: In the Sweet By-apd-By, We shall praise on that Beautiful Shore- In the Sweet By-and By. We shall praise on that Beautiful 8noer. Iu the meantime two friends, W. H. Carswell and S. E. Bright, had come iu. I handed the hymn to Mr. Webster. As he read it his eyo kin­ dled, and his whole demeanor changed. Stepping to the desk he began writing the notps lu a moment. Presently he requested Mr. Bright to hand him his .yiolln,and he played the melody. In a few moments more he had the notes for the four parts of the chorus jotted down. I think it was not over thirty iniuutes from the time I took my pen to write/the words, before the two gentlemen before named, myself and Mr. Webster were singing the hymn, in the same form in which it afterward appeared in the "Signet Ring." While singing it, Mr. R. R. Crosby, now a res­ ident of Richmond, III., came in, and, after listcuiug awhile, with tears iu tiis eyes, uttered the prediction: "That ReecT* Gilt X^ge Tonie rettor»s tlw « appetite. hyuin Is immortal." I think it was sung in public shortly after, for within two weeks almost every child on the streets was singing it. The Sweet By and By was published in the "Signet King"' in 1868. The publishers of the book. Missrs. Lyon & llenley, Chicago, heralded ita advent by distributing a very large number of circulars, upon which selections from the work were printed; among tliein the "Sweet By-and-By." These circulars first brought the hymn to th<- notice of the public, and created the principal demand for the book. Some­ time toward the close ot the year 1868, 1 think, the hymn was first published in sheet music form, first by Messrs. Lyon A Healy. Its publication passed from their hands to O. Dltson & Co., Boston. It is now publislied in nu­ merous collections of vocal music tn America, and. as a newspaper account says, it is translated into, various for­ eign languages, and "sung In every land under the sun." Before leaving Richmond for hit new home in Juneau, Wis., A. J. Howe had placed upon his burial lot In the Rich­ mond Cemetery a monument, at an ex pense of $160. It Is of the finest Ital­ ian variegated marble, of beautiful finish and workmanship throughout and Is from the works of G. B. Moody, Waukegan. III. It is a simple shaft surmounted by an urn. Upon the south face of the shaft is the inscription: "Mary M., wife of A. J. Howe, and daughter of W. and A. Cleveland, died at Geneva Lake, Wis., Oct. 23d, 1860, Aged 20years,7 months and 15 days.-- On the north side Is the inscription: "Elizabeth, only daughter of A. J. and E. J. Howei Died Aug. 14th, 1873, and lies buried at Cllftou Hill, Mo., Aged 9 years 14 days." Ou' the east side is the inscription: "ElisaJ., wife of A. J. Howe and daughter of J. and J. Jackson. Died Sept. 9,1880„ Aged 36 years 2 months, 18 days. On the east side of the column proper, is the name "Howe" in large letters. We think this monument is one of the prettiest iu the Cemetery.
