FORD. Proprietor. People who cannot spend the'season of winds and cold rain* in sunny Florida should keep Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup In the hou*e. It is the best remedy for colds and coughs and will relieve suflerers at once. THE greatest invention of the age Is an artificial egg tint can be distin­ guished from the genuine only by boiling. It has a yolk of grated carrot, tbe white of album and a shell that cannot be surpassed by the oldest hen In the country. Another yankee trick. THE latter part of last week they were having a higli old time on the Mill Pond with Ice Boats. The speed with which they went the length of the Pond was simply immense.

IT'S a great pltv. gays an exchange **thai people cannot have a little com- • mon sense in dealing wirli newspapers Every day some one comes into the office to ask for a favorable notice of himself, or his .business, or of his friends and their business. Now the business of publishing a newspaper la like any other business--It |« done lor money--and there «ls no^more rea­ son why it should give Its spm»e and the time of its employes to help other people than there is for w^rocerto give away his sugar, or an attorney his eloquence. Newspaper publishers are niore imposed upon in this way than anybody else In the community, and It Is time that they should try to protect themselves." Geo. Andrews, overseer of the Lowell Carpet Corporation, was, for over twenty years before his removal Lowell, afflicted with qplt rheum in its worst form. Its ulcerations covered more thau half the surface of his body ana limb*. He was entirely cured by Ayer's Saraaparilla. FRFFESONAI* E. M.

PHILIP GIESELER, JR., was married at Johii8burgh on Tuesday, We have not learned the name of the bride nor other particulars. CHARLES E. ERCANBRACK, of Alden, was a caller at thi6 office on Tuesday. Mr Ercanbrack is a candidate for Sheriff and proposes to submit tils clai m to the voters of McHenry county at the next fall's election. ' GEO, W. BESLEY and family went to Wiukegan, Chrisrmns, to be present at a gathering of the Be-ley family at the old homestead. There were thirty- eight present, all Besley's. W:»osays the Besley's are not numerous t That they had a pleasant time no one who know them will attempt to dispute. THERE will be held a regular annual meeting of the Universalis parish, at their church on Thursday evening, Jan. 6th. 1886, at 7 o'clock, "for the pur­ pose of electing officers and doing such other business as may be ueecssary to be done. It is urgently requested that every one, both ladles and gentlemen having an interest In the life, activity and Interest of the parish, will be pres ent at this important meeting. THE Budget of Fun Company, which played at Riverside Hall all last week, closed on Saturday night, and although they did not draw as large crowdsjas their merit • desei ved, nevertheless done a good paying buslne's, and we have yet to hear of one who went who was not well pleased. Gordon Mc­ Dowell Is indeed the monarch of comedians, while Miss Howard lias few superiors in the parts which she takes. Taken all In all the troupe wei*e far ahead of any traveling company that has been here of late, and as we said before are deserving of far better pat­ ronage than they received. They are playing in Richmond this week. IT has been often said than trie coat makes the man, but how funny a man would look were he to be clothed in a coat, alone. The old saying in this case we are afraid would not be true. It takes a complete suit, consisting of pants, coat, vest, shirt, necktie, collar, etc., to make a man In the fullest sense ot the word. Therefore. if one would wish to appetr as such for his own con venience he should go and consult LawUis, the Clothier, opposite the Riverside House, where you can have, clothes furnished you, ro*dy made or to order. He has recently received from the city a choice selection of winter goods, and or.e must call and look over his stock in order to be fully convinced of tiieir worth, and of tlie reasonable prices for which they can be bought. Another Minister to Settle tmong lla. Immediately at the clobe of the morning service last Sunday at the Universalist church the congregation was called to order, a report made by the canvassing financial committee,and a unanimous call was extended to Rev. B. Brunning to become the settled pastor of the parish which call was duly accepted, and as he has not to leave to make any preparations for moving, we have therefore another citizen and minister settled among us. He will ioard with Mrs. Sarah Mc- Omber. and Mrs. Brunuiug is expected to arrive In McHenry on Wednesday, Jan. 6th, 1886. We trust much good will grow out of these new relations. Meeting" will be held hereafter every Sabbath,and active duties have already been commenced by both pastor and people. ABOUT eight ye tie ago a young man left his home on tlie prairies of Illinois and went to Chicago to secure a busi­ ness educatlop. His Iriends all laughed at liiin and said "he must be getting terribly stuck up." To Jay that young man is getting a * alary or #5,000 a year as a cashier of a bank, while those who ridiculcd him are perhaps earning $20 a month. Young man strike out lor yourself. Don't stand around with your hands iu your pockets waiting lor BO • ethiiig to turn up. Ilemembi-r that the quickest way to succeed is to get a thorough business education.

Heltt, aged 14 years, 7 months and 14 days. The announcement of the above sad event on Christtnis afternoon cast a gloom over the entire community of Algonquin. Millie was i great favorite with both old ami young, aud was ioted and respected by all who know her. She had been sick but seventeen days. The fl^st week site was very low but the seventh day her symptom* were much better, and her friends and physician had strong; hopes of her re­ covery. But that treacherous disease, diphtheria, had thoroughly poisoned her system, and despite t*ie best med - cal skill and all that kind hands and loving hearts could do, death claimed her as his ownr and she quietly and peacefully breathed her last at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon. During her en­ tire sickness she was cheerful and bore her sufferings without a murmur, her only aim seeming to be to lighten the burden and cheer those around her. On the day before Chrlstmag she sent for her aunt, and through her purchased a Christmas present for? her father, mother and each of her brothers, which ehe distributed to them In the evening, after which she lay back upon her pillow with a happy smile upou her countenance, seemingly as If her mis­ sionwas encfed. From tiat time she see.ned to sink rapidly, and died as above stated. » To her parents it Was a sad blow in­ deed. An only daughter, just budding Into womanhood, with all tho prospects of a bright and happy future, tbe blow was almost unbearable; No one who has not passed through a like eideal can realize the feelings of these fond parents when their darling one was hidden from their sight forever, in the cold and alien| grave. They have the sympathy of the entire community In this their hour of bereavement. The funeral wa9 held from their resi­ dence, on Saturday, Dec. 26th at 2:30 o'clock, the services being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Ferris, of Dundee, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives aed sympathizing friends. "" A CARD. We wish to return our thanks to our neighbors and friends for their aid and sympathy during the sickness aud af­ ter the death of our daughter. That you may never be called upon to pass through a like affl'ction is our sincere and heartfelt wish. Jouw Hit*, MARY K. HELM, Algonquin, Dec. 28th, 13S5.
