Her death was undoubtedly caused by the natural feebleness of old age. Mrs. Noonan came to McHenry 38 years ago and has made it her constant home {Since. She" leaves two sons and one daughter, viz: ;Edward Noonan, who resides in this town, Thos. Noonan, of Chicago and Mrs. Knox, of Nunda. Her funeral was held from the Catholic Church-, in this village, on Sunday, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. ,\ / /tb MANY people in this section are receiv­ ing blanks from the census department at Washington inquiring as to the amount of any mortgages they may owe.

No names will be published or made known, and the infor­ mation given will be kept in strict con­ fidence, only the totals being published. The questions are proper, and easily an­ swered by any one.

THE ntfcl^ of a series of Demorest Medal Contests was held at Rmgwood on Fri­ day evening last. Notwithstanding the inclement weather and condition of the roads a full house greeted thecontestante thus showing the interest the people take in these contests. They fuijnsh one of the finest drills our young people can have and Miss Lucy Hall deserves much credit in having successfully conducted five of these contests in a town of that size. When such excellent speaking was done by all it is a difficult matter for the judges to decide who deserves the medal. It was decided in favor of Master Willie French, a boy only twelve years old. The second prize, a book, was awarded to Lonnie Bishop, who deserves special mer- tionfor the fine rendition given of a really difficult piece. The medal was presented bv Miss Hall. Prof. G. A. Collins, Prin ciple of the" Genoa, Wisconsin, public school, Mrs. J. H. Burger, of McHenry, and Prof. G. W. Conn, Principle of tie Cary school, acted as judges on the occasion. --• THE following probably expresses the sentiments of eve-y man or woman who goes into a store to purchase goods: "Turn that wrapping paper the other" side out," said a lady in a dry goods store as the clerk was putting up her purchase in a printed wrapping paper. "I don't want to be a walking advertise­ ment to your store. I read the papers a^ all intelligent people ought to do, and I think in them is the place to advertise grour business.. Instead of asking your customers to carry your sign around with each package of goods, go and tell the people through the papers what you have to sell." The lady was right. Chicago politics are in a very ex­ citable state at present, on account of the city election soon to take place. The Republicans have nominated Hempstead Washburne, an able and honorable man, son of the late Hon. E. B. Washburne, for mayor, and the Democrats, after a very bitter fight in the primaries, held two conventions, the "regulars" re-nom­ inating D. C. Cregier, and the "pure" element nominal ing Carter H. Harrison. A coterie of so-called "business men" have placed in nomination Elmer Wash­ burn, who was at one time chief of police of the city. These are the four prominent candidates for mayor, and the present outlook is that the Republican candi­ date will be successful. THE twenty-fifth anniversary of the Grand Army of the Republic will take place April 6th, 1891, and McHenry Post No. 043 Department of Illinois will hold on the evening of thst day in City a commemoration meeting. A special invitation is extended to the Sons of Veterans, Women's Relief Corps, also to the clergy, press, school children and citizens generally. The exercises will commence promptly at 8 o'clock.

EDITOR PLAIKDEALER:---Our village is lacking in some very desirable things, and tiie fact that the*e wants exist shows that we are, as a community, deficient in public pride. The condition of our side­ walks in a <liwiTrnr>j(» to us. For general badness they certainly never were beaten. We aii-a^ed to get our lives insured, if we venture out on them after nightfall. Thto are veritable traps to catch the fc-tS>J<;f the uuwarv. We hope they are not indicative of the character of our people. If they are, we certainly belong to au extremely crooked and perverse generation, and outsiders had better look out for us. This state of affairs has lasted about long enough, and if a rem­ edy can be found, the sooner it is applied the better for our credit and comfort. Another lack is an organized society among the ladies. We used to have a "Ladies' Aid Society" that did good work for the church. We would suggest that a new society be organized, and whatever money be* raised be used for sidewalks. There is one deficiency here of which we have a right to boast. We have no saloons, and we think we express the feelings of our people when we say none would be tolerated. The increase of railroad traffic on this road speaks well for the development of this section. The time seems very short since we had only a mixed train down in the morning and back at night, going no' further north than Richmond. Now we have eight regular trains a day in winter, •>nd ten in summer vunmsjg from Lake Geneva to Chicago, besides many extras." This increase is largely due to the popu­ larity of Lake Geueva an a Slimmer re­ sort. Fox Lake and Twin Lakes also add their share. But. there is a steady growth in our towns. New manufac­ tories are springing up and improved methods in farming bring more abundant eropstobe moved. We doubt if many sections of our country can show more substantial improvement in the twenty years just passed, than McHenry comity and vicinity. With much grief we learned of the mid*^ den death of Mrs. Agnes Mayes, of Mc­ Henry and realiz'xl we shall never look upon her pleasant, face again, or listen to her words of kindly cheer. She was a noble Christian woman, a true mother in Israel, active in all good works. Her death is an irreparable loss to her family, the church of which she was an honored member, aud the community in which she lived. The recent tragic events in New Orleans may well give this nation food for thought. TheChinaman is not theworst element that has come or can come to our shores. Even paganism and despot­ ism from the dark places of Asia, have not brought us the difficult and danger­ ous problems to solve, that enlightened Europe has sent us. It is about time that we begin to realize that Americans have the best right to the United States of America, and that its doors should not be open to the worst elements of all other nations Thus far our country has bfen a comparatively safe stamping ground for German anarchists, Irish Clan na-Gael and the Italian Motta. This is the "land of the free," but it should not be a land where banished criminals from other countries can organize to murder our peaceable citizens, or our offers engaged in the discharge of their duties. , Spring is now here, and it will soon be time for work in our fields and gardeus. Let us all see if we cannot do something to add to the beauty of Ringwood. Let us have some regard for something be­ side "our own vine and fig tree," dear as they are and should be. Whoever re­ moves an unsightly object and places in­ stead a beau! if ul one, is a public bene­ factor. You can, at least, plant a tree or a rose-bush, and plaice a few plants in your window' or bv^yoflr door step *to gladden the eye of your neighbor, and give yourself a fresh interest in your home. A.

C. and S. of V. held an Easter tea an Saturday afternoon after the regular meeting of the W. R. C. It was the first social meeting in the new hall. Every one pronounces the hall as very pleasant.

Charlie Benthuysen had his hand quite badly hurt in coupling cars at the depot on Thursday evening of last week, but they think his hand will be all right soon. C. W. Hart and wife, and Miss Mamie McKee, of Marenvo, spent Sunday last here with Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee. If Easter Sunday was a fine day, Easter Monday was bad enough to make np for it, as we were treated to rain, hail JKnd wind, with a little sunshine. . *)n Sunday evening last, about six o'clock, word came to town that there was a man hanging in the barn on the "ames Bourk farm, about one mile north f town, and rented by Wm. Braha. Chas. Wandrack, accompanied by several others, went out there, and it was found to be John Ouranek, better known as John Nichols. They cut him down but he was cold and rigid. They brought him to his home in town and the Coroner, I)r. Cook, was notified Monday morning. He arrived at 9:30 a. m., and impaneled a jury which brought in a verdict of suicide by hanging, and they failed to find any apparent cause for the rash act. He was a good citizen and a man 58 years of age. He leaves a wife and one son to mourn his loss. The funeral was held at the Congregational church on Tuesday, March 31st, and the remains interred in our cemetery. The family have the sympathy of their many friends Did you get a cigar? They came out but had lost a considerable of their orig­ inal freshness, as they should have ap­ peared six weeks ago, but Mr. Charles V. Dodd and Miss Jennie McKee decided that their wedding should be a very pri­ vate affair and that their friends should not learn of it too soon. Accordingly, the particulars have but recently been made known as follows: On Wednesday, the llth day of February, 1891, Miss Jennie did not stop at Carpentersville to labor in the milk condensery, but instead left the train at Elgin, where she was joined by Charles V., the couple going to Kenosha, Wis., where the matri­ monial knot was tied by the Rev. B. F Sanford, of Methodist Episcopal faith Mr. and Mrs. Charles V. I)odd then re­ turned to Elgin, and the bride returned to her home in the evening and nothing unusual was suspected, even by her folks, she holding her position in the condens­ ery till the 17th of March. The young couple will make their future home in Elgin, where they may be found after the 15th of April, 1891. Thus, two more of "our yoring people are removed "fFdm our midst, taking with them the best wishes of their many friends as regard their future happiness. MARENGO.
