AT the Annual meeting dF^WfSry County Agriculture Board, held at Woodstock on the 2d inst., A. S. Wright positively declined to allow his name to be used again for the office of Secretary, an office which he has so acceptably filled for the past nine years. Mr Wright has labored zealously throughout these nine years and to him more than any one man in MoHenry County, is due the fact that the McHenry County Fair to day has a National reputation, is on a sound finan­ cial footing, with a bright future before it. And that the Board recongnized this fact as evidenced by the resolution passed at their annual meeting, which can be found in another column. Mr." Wright has just cause to feel proud of his record while Secretary of the Society. What womem has not at some time or other had memories awakened by the sfght of a piece of some special gown sud­ denly brought to light? To some, there­ fore, it will be welcome news, perhaps, to learn that ingenious women have hit up­ on the idea of a "dress album," in which tiny cuttings of every gown belonging to its owner are to be chronologically ar­ ranged, under thf dates on which they were first or specially worn. There is a decided touch of pathos in the notion, for an occasional review of this curious volume as the years roll by could scarcely fail to bring back to memory many by- gone'days of happiness and sorrow con­ nected with the collection. What a picture would arise to the mind, for in­ stance, at the sight of a fragment of one's first ball dress, or of one's wedding gown, or that first shred of black that stood out in terrible contrast to the gaudy samples surrounding it,--Ex. WE took advantage of a spare hour, on Monday, to look over the new house recently completed by Isaac Wentworth, on the southwest corner of his lot, and we think we do not exaggerate when we say it is one of the finest, if not the finest, of the residences in the village. It is of 'the Cottage style of architecture, al­ though a little different from anything we ever saw before. It faces the south, is 20 feet front by 28 feet deep, with a wing or bay window on1 the east and west sides. The inside is arranged in a man ner that makes it convenient and tasty. There are double parlors, kitchen, bed­ room, closets, pantry and china cup­ board. below, with an open fireplace in the front room. The woodwork is all finished in oil and presents a neat and tasty appearance. Winding stairs take you to the second story, where three large and tastily arranged rooms can be found. In short the building, from cellar to garret, was evidently built with eye to neatness and comfort, and is a credit to the architect who planned Has well as to the carpenters who done the work. And right here let us say this house was planned by and built under the direction of John Wentworth, of Chicago, who is to-day one of the largest contractors in the city, to which position he has worked himself by bard and steady work. He has no reason to be ashamed of the job done here. We wish bad. wore ^endeneaB of this stjrifc. THE following card from Dr. Kilbourne, of the Elgin Insane Asylum, explains itself: The Christmas holiday is close at hand. In accordance with previous custom, we desire to make the day and the weeks fol­ lowing, one of great enjoyment to the in­ mates of this Hospital, and therefore ask you to open your heart and purse at the same time and contribute something for individual friends, here resident, or for the general fund. Anything in way of extra wearing ap­ parel, money, books, pictures, fruit, nuts, coniectionaries, &c. will make suitable and appreciated gifts. All packages should be sent to my ad­ dress, pre-paid, on or before the 20th iust., and when intended for any partic­ ular person, should have the name of such person distinctly marked thereon. I Reei>eetfully, ; E. A. KILHOURNB. Superintendent. THB following pertinent remarks from the Amboy Joumai are just as applica- 1)le to McHenry orto any other place, as to Amboy: "A man must boom his own business; no one will step in and boom it for him. What is true in this respect with individuals is also true as respects towns and cities. A town is prosperous and flourishing because its citizens are public spirited and enterprising. A boom must come from within. No outsider is coming with an artesian well, court house, shoe factory or other manufactur­ ing cpncern and respectfully vequest the citizens to accept it. A town, like an in­ dividual, must push its way to the front or it will never get there;" Do the busi­ ness men of McHenry realize this fact? If not, they should wake up to, the fact, and that, too, at an early day. There is a boom within our reach, but if we don't reach for it some one else will. ON Monday evening, the 16th inst, the McCaull Opera Company will present Millocker's charming work, "The Beggar Student," at the Chicago Opera House. The revival will be but for one week, and is made especially at the request of num­ erous patrons of' the McCaull organiza­ tion, "Who are anxious to see the favorite opera again. "The Beggar Student" is one of the most popular in the repertoire of the McCaull Company, and it has never failed to create a most favorable impression whenever it has been given. The story of "The Beggar Student," as is well known, is one of love, gallantry, adventure and intrigue, through which runs an element of the strongest comedy. The music of "The Beggar Student is most charming, and undoubtedly the fame which Millocker now enjoys was largely gained for him by this opera. The cast which will present "The Beggar Student" is an unusually strong one, and it is doubtful if so notable an array of artists in opera comique will be seen again in this opera. Among the favor­ ites who will be seen in "The Beggar Student" are Marion Manola, Annie Myers, Carrie Burton, Josephine Knapp, DeWolf Hopper, Eugene Oudin, Jefferson de Angelis, Herbert Cripps, Edmund Stanley, and Louise Edgar.

If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants of every torn^ large and small, are the heavieil'^^vertisers? If advertising doesn't "who does the most business? If it doesn't pay to advertise why do. the heaviest business firms in the world spend millions in that way? IB it because they want to donate those millions of dollars to the newspaper and magazine publishers, or because they don't know as much about business as a six-for-a- doilar "storekeeper" in a country town, who says money spent )n advertising is thrown away or donated to the mem to whom it is paid? Such'rtalk is simply ri diculous, and it requires more than the vorage patience to discuss the proposi- tion of whether advertising pays or not with that kind of a man. Hiscomplacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the business world is laugha­ ble, and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn't revolve by placing a pumpkin on a stump and watching it all night.--JSr. THE animal meeting of the McHenry County Agricultural Board occurred, Monday, Dec. 2, 1889, at the Court House, in Woodstock^ President Hatch in the Chair. Reports were made by the President, Secretary and Treasurer, y The following resolution #as presented and read by Ex-Preside^ Thos. McD. Richards, and indorsed. .

Wright, who has faith­ fully and energetically served this agri­ cultural board for the past niue years; yet now, in justice to his public and pri­ vate duties, declines to serve you any longer, therefore the McIIenry" County Agricultural Board in annual meeting assembled, tender him their most hearty thanks, for the important services he has rendered this Board during his long term of service. We thank him for doing so much to place us in the front rank of the agricultural societies of the West and we regretfully say farewell to him officially. Woodstock, Dec. 2d, 1881).

Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them, concerning the cause, first symp­ toms, treatment, aud how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptoms of croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized, and once heard always remembered. Usually a day or two be­ fore the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms of hav­ ing taken cold, and this is where the mis­ take is usually made, the mother think­ ing her child has just taken cold, gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night by t^e violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup, and remem­ bers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physi­ cian or drug store. You can well imag­ ine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse, or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Ileiul edy is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and al- danger be avoided. The remedy prevents fully ten thousand cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout the Western States and territories; they have learned its val­ ue and how to use it,-aud in those fami­ lies croup is seldom known because it is always prevented. Can any mother who has small children afford to be without such a remedy? It costs but fifty cents, cau she afford to take the chances for so trivial an amount ? For sale by G. W. Besley.
