SOth, 1890, AMONG the pithy sayings of a ^ell- known German philosopher and writer occurs the following: "Sign no paper without reading it." In these days of education, enlightenment and progress such a caution would hardly seen neces­ sary to any person in the full possession of his faculties, yet it is astonishing how many people there are, including good business men, who attach their signatures to papers or documents whose contents might have a serious bearing upon them­ selves or their affairs, with scarcely a glance at tlieir contents. Carelessness in failing to acquaint themselves with the contents of a paper before signing it has worked incalculable harm tothousandsof well intentioned people. It is a good thing, therefore, to bear in mind continu­ ously the above quotation, particularly with respect to such papers as express or imply any thing in the nature of acontract or a legal obligation. jr. y- JTHE MftHetwgr County Teachers' ciation met & this village on Saturday last and drew out the largest attendance of any meeting of the kind that has been held for many a day, over one hundred teachers being present at the afternoon session. The address of Prof. Quacken- bush, of Kane County, in the afternoon was very interesting and was listened to |by all with marked attention. Our citi- Wns turned out in goodly numbers to Iboth morning and afternoon sesions, and Expressed themselves as highly pleased tv'ith the exercises and interest manifested ay the teachers of the county. We be- . ieve no county in the State can show a THOS. KNOX evidently believes that jfiner corps of teachers than MeHenry pounty.

It was proposed to employ an officer to act as game warden and see that the game laws are properly enforced.

Stick my head in a big pillow dip, and do me up, mother, for I have La Grippe. * A NEWSPAPER may boom a town through its editorial and news ooliimns, but the critical investor looks to the ad­ vertising columns for substantial evi­ dence of push and lite. To him they are a barometer; they measure the intensity of the public warmth; they are the pulse which indicate the healthy or unhealthy eondition of the collective body of people; they tell him what he wishes to know-- whether or not the community Is up to ifet times in business matters. * A BUSINESS men's association for the -gty furtherance of the businiw interests off . Monday a solitary individual was seen making regular trips around the Public Square in this village, a. la O'Leary. Some said he had the La Grippe and had gone cra*y, others that he was looking after l$e Indian relics that Hank McLean insists are buried in and around that historic ground, while still others claimed that tie belonged to the "Go-it-alone Club" and WM looking for boodle. Be that as it may, he kept up that continual pace until six p. m., when he retired to his resting place--'"in the green forests." We have since learned that he was "the last erf the Mohegans," searching for the resting place Of his fore­ fathers, and that he found--(only two ^dollars and a half). ... j p THE most interesting book we have ex­ amined for a long time is entitled "Heroes of the Dark Continent," by Buell, written from Stanley's own letters and despatch­ es. As Stanley has just returned from Africa the work will give the history of that country up to the present date and is full of interesting facts and interesting information^., It also gives a history of ancient Africa, and a summary of the principal expeditions and individual ex­ plorers that have entered the continent during the past two hundred years. It is a work that should be la ^very house­ hold. R. Holly is agent for this county The Lubricator of Trad*. Advertising is like religion--good at all seasons of the year. The judicious ad­ vertiser is like the competent f&rmer, who does not wait until harvesttime to sow his seed. After the rush of holiday trade there is always a comparatively dull season. But the good business man does not sit down and say, "Now I must wait nil til next Christmas." He knows that there is always a certain volume of trade, and he also knows that the trade is at­ tracted to the store of him who seeks it. So he keeps his name, his location and his goods before the public eye--and he gets the trade. Moreover, it is the ex­ perience of all large advertisers that ad­ vertising not only attracts trade;It also created it. The advertisement suggests wants, and by also suggesting the case of supply makes of the haU fat want an in­ sistent demand.

The Scott family are so well jtnown in Northern Illinois that not one word we can say will add to the success of their corning Concert. The mere announce­ ment that they will appear is enough to ensure a full house. Remember the date, Tuesday evening next, January 28th. AN exchange gives the following useful hints: "If the chimney catches flre run to the salt-box, and empty it out upon the flames; they will be reduced as if by magic, and further steps can be taken to subdue the out break. If soot falls upon the carpet or rug, do not attempt to sweep until it has been covered thickly with dry salt; it then can be swept up properly and not a stain or smear will be left. If any thing happens to catch fire, either whilst cooking or otherwise, throw salt upon it at once to prevent any disa­ greeable smell." TAXES! TAXES!

Every mail brings a grist of annual seed catalogues these days, reminders of "seed time and harvest." John Niver, from Harvard, will work John Judson's farm the year to come. The third dancing school will be held on Friday evening of next week. Mrs. Ellen Pierce has for some time been visiting with friends near Sterling, III. Will Rowe will move onto G. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Will Ferras, from Lau­ rence, spent a few days with relatives in town and vicinity. John Brown returned from his eastern trip the last of the week. The members of E. B. Stratton'sfamily have all been troubled with the prevail­ ing disease. Mrs. Ella Earle furnished a part of the music for the dancing school Friday even­ ing. Mr. and Mrs. Sears from Sturgess, Mich., spent a part of last week with friends here and at Linn. Murl Merrick now has charge of the de­ pot at Alden. Frank Welton is I. W.

It is said that E. Q- Leech has been drawing the plan of we large store to be erected by W. C. Hyde on the corner lot he has recently purchased. The young people had a merry time at a skating party Saturday night on what is known as "Tyler's Pond," east of town. W. E. Wire was ill a greater part of last week, and unable to attend to his duties in the school room. Miss Ida Groesbeck, Jennie Shoudy and Menzo Stoue attended to the class recitations. It is almost impossible to keep an ac­ count of all the victims of La Grippe. Nearly every family in this section has been afflicted. Johnnie White returned the last of the week from Dakota. While in the west he shot two jack rabbits which he sent home to Hebron friends. Mr. and Mrs. John Baraltine returned the first of last week from Watertown, Wis., where they were summoned to at­ tend the funeral of Mr. B's. father who was accidentally killed by a tree falling upon him, while chopping in the woods. On account of so much sickness our Good Templars did not go to Harvard on Friday evening as was expected, but without a doubt they will furnish a pro­ gram for Harvard lodge in the near fu­ ture. Prof. R. J. Schermerhorn was in town on Tuesday of last week and gave a les­ son in horse training to about seven of our citizens, and subdued and brought under control the vicious pony belonging to Will Archibald. It is hoped the Pro- fessdr will make our town another visit and give further instructions as oar horsemen are greatly interested. Miss Ada Begun who has been ill with consumption many months, passed qui­ etly away on Wednesday morning last. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Friday. Ada is the third daughter Mr. and Mrs. Begun have laid to rest within the past few years, all victims of the dread destroyed consumption. The funeral services of Miss Nellie Sum­ ner were held at her late home On Sunday afternoon where had assembled a large concourse of people. The family have the sympathy of many- friends in their sad bereavement. Death has entered the home circle and taken for his reward this fair young girl. 4 It is simply wonderful how .a good thing gets known and appreciated. In the public school examinations now they ask the small boys: "Who was the first man ? " "Adam." "The first woman ? " "Eve." "Who was the 22d President of the United States?" "GroverCleveland." "What is the specific cure for pain?" "Salvation Oil." Leading physicians recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Old and- young take it with perfect safety, Itcleanses the blood, strengthens the nerves, and vitalises the system. Popular experience has long placed this medicine at the head cf tonic ttltoratiwa SOME people have a penchant for going to Chicago to make their purchases, thinking to get better bargains. It is not a good policy towards our own merchants, who keep large stocks of good goods and sell at small profits. Com­ pare the rents and expenses of Chicago merchants with those of our own town, and no.further argument is needed to show that Chicago merchants must make large profits to live. Help your home business men, and they in turn will help you. You may be able to buy inferior goods cheap, but good, sterling goods have values alike, or nearly so, every­ where.
