Those who did not attend missed a rich treat. ' RAY H. OWEN, son of O. W. Owen, of this village, is making his mark in his line of busines, in his new home at Kan­ sas City, Mo., which is very gratifying to his parents and pleasing news to his many friends in this vicinity. He is en­ gaged in the large music bouse of Boll- man Bros., Kansas City, as a Piano Tuner, and although he has not been there but about six months, his skillful work has put him in the front rank as a Tuner. We learn that only last week he was sent to Lexington, Mo , to put in order the Piauos iu the Methodist Col lege at that place. He put in order nineteen at that institution, and received high praise for the efficiency of his work from some of the finest music teachers in that section. His many friends in this vicinity are glad to hear of his success. The Buffalo Boots and Shoes, and sheet *'Uh each pair at Evanson's, 10th, 1890, by Rev. A. J. Charles L. Paige to Miss Julia both of McHenry, 111. A large company of friends of bride and groom were in attendance on the occa­ sion, the presence of whom gave to the event much of interest. The bride was attired in a suit of drab Henrietta, white silk front, trimmed wjth swans-down and roses. The groom, In a suit of black with Prince Albert. At 2 p. M., sharp, while the wedding march was being played by Miss Myrtle Brill, of Chicago, the contracting parties took their places upon the floor in the parlor, and were received by the friqpds standing. After ceremony was over congratulations were freely exchanged, and a rich feast par­ ticipated in. The groom and bride de­ parted by the 5:30 train under a shower of rice for a short wedding trip. The presents were numerous and both useful and ornamental. All who know them join in wishing them much joy and great prosperity. THE Dundee Hawkeye of Saturday last says: Yesterday afternoon a gentleman from Chicago, presumably a representative of Farwell of that place, called atC. F. Hall's store and ha nded him a letter, after read­ ing which the latter gentleman instructed his force of clerks to draw the blinds and lock the doors, and turn the keys over to the Chicago man. All are familiar with he condition of affairs last fall at which (time Mr. Hall made an assignment, and (since.when he has beea installed as agent !for Farwell. Both before and since the {change appearances have indicated a prosperous business, and considerable surprise wa« expressed by the public at the time of the failure. The action of the owner of the business was evidently un­ expected by Mr. Hall and was undoubt­ edly the result of a difference between Farwell and himself. Chicago Inter-State Exposition, 1800. The Eighteenth Annual Exhibition of this organization will open .Sept. 8, and close Oct. 18. Our information gives assurance that the preparatory work is completed. All the available space in the immence building is fully occupied. Vhe novelty and high character of the Exhibits in every department of industry, Art and Science make the Exhibition, as a whole, seem more like a rehearsal for the World's Fair than like an ordinary local event. The display of electric lights by the "Sun Electric" and the "Edison" Companies surpasses anything of the sort heretofore seen in America, and is worth'a journey to see. The Art Galleries contain the best collection ever made in this country, aggregating a value of nearly half a million of dollars. All Western Railways transport pas­ sengers at excursion rates. 9 To Manufacturers. ,4 fine location, with sufficient land to erect buildings, will be given to any manufacturing institution tjhat will locate here.

From the last Issue of the Woodstock Democrat one would think they were baclly worried over our remarks in rela­ tion to the late County Fair, and in speaking of our article says: "Evidently dictated by one who was directly interest­ ed in the question at issue." We wish right here to say to the publisher of the Democrat that, unlike him, we are able to write our own articles, without any outside assistance. We are not obliged to hire anyone to do our editorial work. We never passed one word with the late Secretary in regard to the Fair before our article was written, but did receive a letter from him after the paper came out, regretting that we mentioned his name, but thanking us for t,he facts st ited in the political part of it. But enough on that point. Notwithstanding the Democrat- s blus­ ter, Mr. Fields, the present Secretary, will not deny that Mr. Wright has given him all the information and assistance in his power, this year, and was as anxious to have the Fair a success as any man in McHenry County. The Democrat's arti­ cle was written in ignorance, and not for love or a wish for the success of the Fair, but as the mouth-piece of small souled individuals, wherein they could vent their personal spite. The Democrat speaks about paying last years bills. Any one who can read will find in the Treasurer's Report, made last December, that old bills were paid as far back as 1884--5 and 6. But this cuts no figure. What we took exception to was the Democrat's statement that ".the Fair of 1890 beat them all--in receipts, crowds and exhibits." They little knew that by publishing such trash they were placing the management in a hole, for we learn that it is a fact that not enough money was taken in to pay the premiums in full, expenses and inter­ est. So far as the Fair of 1889 in COE- cerned, with two rainy days we stated what the report of the Treasurer was at the Annual meeting, and that is what we go by . He gives the gross receipts as something over f4,500, Premiums paid $2,148.55, Interest f339.50, Total expenses $3,787.76. On principal $258, leaving $209.60 in the Treasury. This accusing anyone of not rendering a full account of monies is all nonsense, because a full report has been made at the Annual meetings. The Treasurer is the oue who handles the Societies finances, and a full and satisfactory report has been made yearly, President Richards' Report, which we have before us is a sufficient refutation of the dirty slurs intended by the Democrat's hired scribr bier. • • • •. We have no desire to get up any racket over the Fair, but would simply infoi m the Democrat that the time has passed when it can belittle the past management of the Fair, to gratify a purely personal spite. The people are familiar with its standing years ago, and the result which was obtained through hard work every one knows. We stand by our former^ article, and again say "Honor* to \^hom Honor is Due." A. S. Wright sacrificed both time and money in the interests of the So­ ciety, and to him, more than to any one unan, is due the excellent standing and reputation of the Society to-day. The Battle of Gettysburg. We beg leave to advise our our readers to be sure and not forget to see the Panorama of the battle of Gettysburg, while in Chicago during the Exposition. Take advantage of the low rates and see Gettysburg. There is no picture in the world like this of Gettysburg; no other picture presents such a scope of country or gives such a thrilling representation of a battle. It is no wonder it is called "Chicago's Pride, and Greatest Artistic Attraction." 9 Ohio General«. Ex-Governor Noyes, of Ohio, who has just died, was one of the able and esti­ mable veterans of the war whose memory deserves a tribute. We owe to him a good share of the effort which succeeded in nominating his personal friend aud fellowsoldier, Rutherford B. Hayes to the Presidency. There was no reason why Governor (and general) Noyes might not have himself been Ohio's candidate for that office, except that he had been de­ feated in his second candidacy for the Governorship. This was an accident of the year, rather than anything for which he was responsible. Ohio generals, like Hayes, Cox, Noyes, and Garfield, became very prominent men before the country after the close of the war, and it is fair to say that all acquited themselves credit­ ably in civil life. They were better appre­ ciated at home apparently than those who served in the war in some other States.--r^osion Herald.

The following letter from Mr. W. A. Thomson, of Columbus, Wis., is pecul­ iarly interesting: "My wife," says he, "has been treated for her head, stomach and nervous prostration by three doctors in New York, two in Chicago, one in Phila­ delphia, one in Cincinnati, ttnd at the large institute in Buffalo for sixteen jnonths. They all failed. But one bot­ tle of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine helped her wonderfully." ThiB should be used in all headaches, backaches, changes of life, nervous disturbances, fits, rheu­ matism, etc. Ask at Besley's drug store for a free trial bottle and Dr. Miles' new ' b^ok on the Nerves and Heart.

Brink returned home from Richmond, lnd., on Friday last, where she has been visiting her aunt, who has been sick.

Rev. Mr. Hench and family spent a part of last week with relatives and friends at Ridgefield. Henry Bigelow, of Chicago, spent San- day last with his mother here.

Let every man turn out this fall and swell the Republi­ can vote and work for the candidates.
