Yes, my boy. It will be a pleasure to to-night to tell jrou about many .tilings that have heretofore escaped my notice, but upon going to Woodstock my memory has become refreshed on account of seeing them and hearing the good people of the county seat talk of the tricks and doings of members of the Southworthglennonoldwarhorse Ring combination. What do they say and tlilnK of them right at home wheie they haw their headquarters? - Well, my sou, the people there say many tilings that are far from compli­ mentary about the handful of men that claim to own the politics and all the offices the county is entitled to, and who eke out an existence in their midst, Is tlie editor that has not yet learned to "even write ah estray notice" there now, and did you see him? Yes. my child, one could never visit Woodstock and fail to see this mail for he has nothing to do, and lie sits in the park or on the street corners with the man who went to Crystal Lake to break up a party of cock fighters, and when he got there did not dare to enforce the law, although he had a posse of good aud true men at his back to help him, who were disgusted, as were all good and law abiding citizens In all portions of the county when they had learned of the disgraceful proceedings. Is tiiat man there yet? I thought whe"n he got left for that office lie thought that himself and few friends owned for life, that he went Into the millinery business. Xo ujy son, but he Is supposed to be a silent partner in that business... I don't think he is very silent, for I heard a boy say who was visiting spme friends here, and who lives at Wood­ stock, that this man hangs around the different loafing places, where they often have lunch with music; and in front of stores, and feels so sore be­ cause he got left for that office that lie is forever saying something that he thinks is real cute, but that those who hear lilin think is stale, and know it is done for what some folks call "sour grapes." That's what the boy who lives over at Woodstock said, and that the people there said this man "talked too much with his mouth and did too little with his hands/' Well, my son, there I# an old aq»d truthful saying which is: you should not-blame a man for making a fool of himself when he is not accountable or knows no better, and I have charity for this poor disappointed oflise-seeker and advocate of the third term principle, although he failed to get there but one term, though being a sitting candidate for the last twenty years. This poor tur.ii, then, must be solid for that other man over there who wants office for life, and built that six thousand dollar house. He is, my son, jtnd is With the editor "who cannot yet write even an estray notice" chief in command of this man's canvas for the office of Circuit Clerk. The man that wants office for life ought to get there with such backing as that ar.d the nice pieces that were put in *'t lie editor's" paper sometime ago. Yes, my son. all this, with the aid of the "satchel" ought to accomplish much for when I was oyer at Woodstock the other day a man who lives in Seneca told me that a very prominent worker in their caucusses, and au ex-office holder, who was a short time ago solid for the old soldier nnd ex-Anderson- ville prisoner from Nunda, and was bitter against third-termism had "beeu seen" and was now rather Inclined to go in with the man in that town who often forgets himself (when he has "been seen") and votes twice or three times during a caucus for his man, to carry the town of Seneca for the man that wants office for life, when It is well known that a large majority of the real honest voters there wish the old soklier from Nunda to have the office. How is the old soldier from Nunda getting along? (Do jou hear much said about him, and why lie ought to have the office? Yei,my child, he is making new friends every day, those who have noth ing against the man who wants to hold office /or life in particular, giving him due credit for being all that is claimed for him as being efficient and accom­ modating; yet they do not consider he is the only man in the county but that could be just as efficient and accommo­ dating, aud that while lie is rich in this world's goods and has business enough outside the Circuit Clerk's otffce to em­ ploy several to help him, the old sol­ dier at Nunda is a poor man with a family te care for. while the man who wants office for life has no family. Again, there are those that belong to the Republican party that think there are plenty of good, competent men and women within the party to employ in the Circuit Clerks office without going into the Democratic party to employ those that aid in unfurling Democratic tings at the meeting of their county conventions. You know, iny boy, such things do not set well, especially when there is many ail old and disabled sol­ dier who votes as he fought that de­ serves, and would like such a position. It'would be strange to me if all you say is true should the man who wants office for life got It for four years more. Every word I have told you is true, my child, and there is none that dare deny it. But it is getting late and you are tired aud 9leepy. We will talk more about these matters at another time, for there is much more that could be told that will uo doubt interest you. Yes, I do waut to know who wrote that funny piece that was in the paper that is edited by the man that you say has "not yet learned to write eyen an estray notice." You mean the piece about the mam­ moth Democratic meeting, my boy? Well you shall know all about it if I find out who wrote it. But the Demo­ crats over at Woodstock are awful mad about it and swear that "the editor that canhot write even an estray notice"'did not write it, whiche f course every one that road the piece knows. It seems queer that a Democrat could tell that "the editor that oar.not oven write an estray notico" never wrote that piece. Not when they know tho man, my son, and what hi« capabilities are in that direction. I will tell you more about this same man at au *arly day, my hopeftil. There are some very pleasant and peculiarly comicel jokes about him when he was back with the suttler wagons while in the army, that you must hear about. GREENWOOD- EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Onoe more after a two weeks vacation, we will endeavor to give a few items. We were out of humanity's reach, spend­ ing our vacation and enjoying as much comfort as absolute rest brings to a tired pedagogue. Imagine our astonish­ ment, after arriving at home, when our attention was called to an article iu the Advocate by its editor, ' Rev. Geo. K. Hoover calling us a liar--no, only incorrect, lhat's all. We desire very candid treatment from Mr. Hoover, as lie does from all oppose i s. He says my art icle of week- previous was incorrect, first, "because it was stated in my hearing that Rev. Coulee, who was to have spoken en that evening, was sick and unable to leave home." .We admit part of this to be true and the remainder inoor- red; Mr. Coulee was spoken of that eveuing, but Geo, K. Hoover was to have been the speaker--so said Mr. Ellsworth. Is that correct? If not, call me a prevaricator again, and I'll count ten. Incorrect second, "because it as­ sumes that Woodstock temperance people are lazy." My article assumes no such thing; we do not say you have been idlers, but can you not mould public opinion in Woodstock so you can carry out this move successfully? Really Mr. Advocate you have too much resting en your caliber to read understanding^. Incorrect, third, "be­ cause the writer aSsuiues that the Republican party contains all the temperance voters." Here .again has the editor "run and read:" My article assumes no sucii thing. No, I would not keep the saloon-keepers in the party, and I venture the assertion "there is not one Republican saloon­ keeper iu the city of Woodstock," Mr. Dailey and wife spent a few days last week visiting friends at Marengo.

'HuT score stood 9 to 18 in favor of Huntley, Our boys were very much dissatisfied with the way the Huutleys used them. They went over to play the homo nine, but when they got there they found they had a picked nine from Elgin,. 3i!bert. Marengo and Huntley to play against, and there wa9 not much show*for them. They think they will leave them out hereafter. But they could not get away with Algonquin on the foot race. Rev. C. C. Campbell and wife wont to DeKalb on Saturday last, to assist Rev. J. D.

It is now some time since the citi­ zens of Algonquin have taken "any decided st#pa to show the interest they feel in the tuoral welfare of their beautiful littli! village. They have however, been using such ordinary measures as cliurcli services, and Suii- dav schools, as well as tho constant influence of social customs which are elevating in their character. But it was felt by all interested that some­ thing more definite should bo done to define more decidedly rhnreal feelings of the community. Last Friday even­ ing this irrepressible spirit of reform assumed larger proportions, and a real step was taken in the advance of the reform movement. For sotne time a small building in the neighborhood of the public square has been tho resort of some inveterate poker players, and has offered a safe place.in which to entertain strangers and visitors to our village, who liked to "buck the tiger," and had spare change to squander. This has offended' Some of ohr fastidi­ ous citizen. and ye( thpy how to break up the Institution. But Friday night the problem was sol­ ved. Late iu the evening, a number of our most prominent citizens organized themselves into a party of • 'Vigilantes" ar.d proceeded to tho building iu a body, and quietly surrounded it , so no guilty party if present in the building could escape, and then at a given sig­ nal, with combined force, tipped tho place over. It fell with a crash. The party which had done the purifying deed then quietly dispersed, In the morning everybody was amazed, both at the extent of the ruin, for only one s*litai\y red 'chip' was to be found,and also amazed at the possible results, for perchance, now poker playing and ether Iniquitous games would cease, and the village go into still higher moral achievements. No one sought to discover or punish the marauders, for although they had made themselves liable to legal penalties, every one recognized the great benefits which would result.
