A fine programme has been prepared. TIIE Sunday train from Lake Geneva to Chicago made its first trip on Sunday afternoon last. It will probably be put "ton regular in a short time. Do" NOT forget the "Merry Makers," colored vocalists, at the City Hall, this Wednesday evening. It will ha one of the richest musical treats of the season. S. S. SHEPABD & SON wish to inform the public that they will pay cash for a large amount of Clover Blossoms this season, picked and delivered at their Dryer, in McHenry, as formerly. IT is said that the proper pronuncia­ tion of the name Itata is puzzling the brains of many people just now. One says "Eye-tat-ta," another call it "Ee- totter," and the Irishman declares it is "Atetater." TICKETS for the Independence Party at the Riverside House have been issued, which will take place on Friday evening July 3d. When making out your pro­ gramme for the 4th, be sure and put down the Riverside House. THE store in the Riverside Block, which has been undergoing repairs, is fast ap­ proaching completion, and it is expected will be open with a full line of General Merchandise on or about the 20th. John I. Story will be the proprietor. "CHILDREN'S DAY, or Floral Sunday, will be observed at the Universalist Church next Sunday evening by an appropriate Concert by the Sunday School. All the ladies and scholars of the Sunday School are invited to come and help trim the Church on Saturday at 2 o'clock prompt* HENRY SMITH caught a Pickerel in tie creek below the dam, on Monday night, that weighed 15% pounds. The boys are catching some very fine jish in the river here just now. There is no better fishing grounds in the Northwest than Fox River and adjacent Lakes. THE ' census shows that IUiinois has 778,369 scholars in the public schools, 75,000 in parochial schools and 28,164 in private achobli. The gain in popula­ tion in the past ten years has been 24 per cent, but the public school enrollment has been only 10 per cent. AN exchange says: "A patent medi- sine agent who was in town yesterday took the liberty to tack an advertising sard on our coal bin. If his company tas got medicine that will cure the con- lumption of coal we will buy a whole case, if not he can just come back and take that card off. How SENSITIVE the man is who does ot take a paper. One such, in a neigh­ boring town, whose name was left out of bhe account of a dog-flght, brought a ouple of witnesses to the sanctum of the ocal paper to prove that he stood by uid saw one of the dogs ran. He sorrowed his neighbor's paper and so 'ound that his name was overlooked. THE Piano News says that the ladies af the Congregational Church at that place are to give a "Blue Jay" sociable an the 10th inst. Now we have blue jays lere by the dozens, and they chatter and *cream. and make a heap of noise, but we aever for once as much as thought that their conversation was appropriate to a jhurch social. But so it is; the children if light go right along and use the things jf this world just the same as II they be­ longed to them.

As I did not have the opportunity to thank you collectively for your kind re­ membrance of me, I will take this method of expressing my heartfelt thanks for the elegant and useful present left at my home. It will ever be a reminder of the faithful, earnest, true-hearted boys and girls whom it has been such a pleasure to instruct for the past two years. F. M. OVERAKER. THE "Merry Makers'" colored singers, who will give one of their delightful enter­ tainments at the City Hall this Wednes­ day evening, are under the auspices of the Epworth League, connected with the M. E. Church. We hear 'the highest en­ comiums of them from Lake Geneva, where they appeared last week, and we can assure our readers they will miss one of the richest musical treats of the sea­ son if they fail to attend. Remember it is this Wednesday evening, at the City Hall. THE Ladies Cemetery Aid Society wish us in this public manner to return thanks to G. V. Hankins, of Chicago, for the very liberal donation of $50, to aid in making the much needed improvements in and around Woodland Cemetery, in this village. Such liberality is truly com­ mendable and Mr. Hankins is not only entitled to the thanks of the ladies but of all our citizens as well, lf^others inter­ ested would respond the fadies and the Trustees would soon be able to report the debt cleared up and the grounds and surroundings put in proper shape. ' TKA¥ popular dancing resort, the Riv ersicfe House, in this village, has issued tickets for an Independence party« to take place on Friday evening, July 3d. Smith's Orchestra of five pieces will fur­ nish the music, and it is needless for us to say to those who attended his opening party that mine host Story will leave nothing undone that will tend to the comfort and pleasure of his guests on that occasion. The tickets are now being circulated. Those who dance and wish to have a good time should not fail to gG to the Riverside House on this occa­ sion. Now satd 7hen tells the following, Aid holds it up for the consideration of the man who waits for business to come to him instead of going after it: An old darkey, whose master had some fine fat turkeys, made up his mind that he must have one of those turkeys, and as he told the story, he set to work to get it by prayer. "I prayed to the Lord," he said, "that be would send me one of them turkeys. I prayed that way morn­ ing and evening for a week, but still that turkey didn't come, and^ I tell you my mouth was just a watering for it. So I says to myself I must change that prayer. And so I prayed one evening that the Lord would send me after that turkey-- and, brethern, that turkey was here be- fore daylight > ^ *jj 3"- 'V • •' School Report.
