SHEPARD & SON have their Clover Dryers, in this village, running full blast and are receiving from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds daily. They are giving employ­ ment to a large numt>er of men, women and children. A PONTIAC preacher announced as his subject last Sunday evening: "A Grand Old Maid." A large congregation was present and came near choking . from laughter when the choir sang: "Oh, why do you wait, dear brother? Why do you tarry so long? " A TEACHER in a public school was in­ formed by a lawyer, at two p. in., that she was heir to a fortune. He expected her to grasp her bonnet and run, but instead of that she calmly replied: "I will hear the class in geography, whip three boys and be at your office in an hour.--Ex. / • „ - CHILDREN'S DAY was observed at the IJniversalist and Methodist Churches on Sunday last, with very interesting pro­ grammes at both places. The Churches were beautifully decorated with choice flowers, and tbeprogrammes werecarried out in a manner creditable to both teachers and scholars of the Sunday Schools. . A HAPPY and contented editor has been found at last. He lives in Michigan and says he had rather be a country editor, trust in the Lord and rustle for a living, than be a railroad president with a sal­ ary of f10,000 a year and an annual pass. That chap may be telling the truth, but he banks heavily on the cre­ dulity of his readers. "WE don't run a paper, says the Lacon Owl, for criticism of language, or to keep from hurting somebody's feelings because they are politically or financially "big," but we give the news, and if it hurts somebody they will learn to behave and remember they don't own the earth, and haven't got a baseball fence around it so the "small boy" can't see the game. AN observant man says he has discov­ ered a fly destroyer tliat discounts all the fly paper and fly poison that have yet been put into use. He went into the country on a visit and brought back with him a number of bunches of clover blos­ soms. He hung them in hig, room to or­ nament the walls. The clover dried, and since then he says not a fly would stay in the room. He watched and studied, and says he has discovered that flies cannot stand the scent of dried clover. * GEO. G.

Mereness, of Wal­ worth, Wis., and Miss Delia Gage, of Claremont, Va. ^PEey^StSttted the following day for their future home in Wisconsin, spending a short time in Washington; THE Hinckley Be view says that Dr. Hitchcock was at work on his lawn a few days since, and becoming warm took off his coat and laid it down. He went into the house and forgot the coat and the next morning it was gone. The object of the publication Was evidently to warn physicians of the danger of becoming over heated by manual labor. McHenry members of the profession will please take notice. THE indications are that prairie chicken shooting next fall and quail shooting next winter will be plentiful. The protec­ tion given the quail during the three years prior to '91 caused them to multi­ ply rapidly and but few of them were killed last winter, as the season was un favorable for that spart. Farmers re­ port large numbers of both quail and chickens about their farms, and shot­ guns and bird dogs will be in constant requisition as soon as the oats are out.

J. H. BURGER, Teachier. THE National Editorial Association meets in St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 14-- 17th, 1891. The capital of the North Star State is a delightful place for a sum­ mer meeting, and the fraternity has the promise of being handsomely cared for. St. Paul and its neighbor, Minneapolis, are wonderful outgrowths of the marvel ous development of the Northwest. There are many pretty resorts around these twin giants. The most attractive, perhaps, is Lake Minnetonka, reached via the great Northern Railway, with four tracks between the two cities, crossing the Mississippi river at Minneapolis on a half million dollar stone arch bridge in full bight of the Falls of St. Anthony, and the largest llouriug mills in the world, and thence through beautiful suburban places to Minnetonka Beach and Hotel Lafayette, the largest and finest summer resort hostelry in the Northwest. The hotel building is over a fifth of a mile in length, and contains nearly five acres of floor surface. Every window faces the lake. All the comforts and accessories known to good living and modern life are provided. It is under the manage­ ment, for the ninth year, of Eugene Mehl, of the Ryan, of St. Paul. SIMPSON & Co., oi Kenosha, the only pliable Lightning Rod men that visit this section, are canvassing in this vicinity, 'and make a standing agreement to pay all damages by lightning to any building that has on one of their Rods. They have without question one of the finest Rods made, and as we have said before, are square dealing men, and all who deal with them are sure to get honest work and everything just as represented. On Monday they put up rods on the new residence of J. W. Cristy, Ringwood. THAT there is no escape for theives when Detective Benthusen is around has again been illustrated. One of the prisoners who escaped from the Wood­ stock jail, Mike Callahan, was recaptured in Michigan last week by Benthusen, and returned to his old quarters on Wednes­ day. He traced him to a place in Michi­ gan called Williams, from there to Climax thence to Kalamazoo, where he captured him on Tuesday night. He wts much astonished when "Lafe" put in an appear­ ance as he thought he was safe when he got to Michigan. No use. You might as well throw up the sponge when Ben­ thusen gets on the track. • NOTICE. Fourth of July Celebration at Xtlng-wood Within three minutes' walk east from the train, on a part of Mr. Chase's farm otherwise known as "Wt^Jker's Woods." In Mr. Ladd's pasture adjoining, there is a fine ground, where base ballists will in­ terest themselves and others after the programme is over. The Ringwood Band will furnish music. Rev. W. H. Smith, V. S. Lnmley, Esq., and Rev. Wm. Nickle will be the speech- makers ; others will assist in the way of songs, recitations, impromptus, etc. Programme in full next week. Fire­ works are being arranged for. COMMITTEE. THERE are a few trees in McIIetfry that should never be permitted in a village. These are the cotton woods. They are large and stately trees and handsome enough, but when the blow ripens and the cotton in fleecy white masses begins to float through the air, there is little beauty found in the trees by those un­ fortunate enough to live near where one of them is growing. Just at this time of the year they are at their worst and a drive about the village will easily locate them. They are all nuisances and should be so declared and removed.

The drama entitled, "The Danger Sig­ nal," given at the Morton Hall by home talent, on Tuesday evening of last week, was a grand success, both socially and financially, all taking their parts well. They realized $31.15 from the entertain­ ment, and all went home well pleased. Give us some more of the same kind in the near future. The Boston Musical Co. gave an enter­ tainment at the Congregational Church on Saturday evening last, but they did not draw a very large house. Their en­ tertainment was very good. Wm.

Our camp of Modern Woodmen will at­ tend the picnic at Rockford on Thursday of this week. Several others are talking of taking in the excursion for the purpose of seeing the city. Poor Richard Gillilan was the first lodger at the new cooler. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, of Cary, visited here with his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. 'Gene Andrews, on Sunday last. What Religion Ian't It isn't going to church to see what the people wear, or to find fault with the preacher. It isn't running in debt for things you don't need, and never paying for them. It isn't giving away a great deal of money publiclv, simply that the people may speak well of you. It isn't stayiug away from church when you know a special collection is going to be taken. It isn't leaving one church and joining another whenever you do not like the preacher. It isn't reading so many chapters a day, or saying one prayer over and over. It isu't sitting in the house and look­ ing solemn, and refusing to eat anything cooked on Sunday. It isn't putting all the big sound apples on the top of the measure, and the little and rotten ones in the bottom. It isn't telling other people what to do in prayer meeting and letting the devil tell you what to do in business matters. It isn't whipping £[089- boy Jo r smoking while you have, a c%ar in your own mouth. It isn't telling the servant to say, "NQt at home." Pain's Spectacular Production. "A Night in Pekin," Pain's most elab­ orate and thrilling pyrotechnical exhibi­ tion, will be the great mid-smnmcr event in Chicago this season--a sort of fore­ runner of the World's Columbian Exposi­ tion. Everyone is more or less familiar with the great fireworks shows, of which Pain, of London, is the originator--being represented in this country by H. B. Thearle and O. E. Skiff the Chicago man­ agers--but few can realize the magnitude of the undertaking in preparing this lat­ est and greatest spectacle, "A Night in Pekin" A faint idea, however, may be obtained when one considers carefully the fact that it requires five acres of ground on which to ercct the necessary amphitheatre and miniature city of Pekin, requiring 12,000 square yards of scenery, together with an artificial lake 350 (feet long and 100 feet wide and a vast/stage of the same dimensions, whereon 500 people gor­ geously costumed, take part in the spectacle. It is a life drama, pantomime, ballet, hippodrome, circus, carnival, art exhibit and fireworks, all in one; a gor­ geous fac-simile of the beautiful Chinese metropolis; a life-like representation of the manners and customs of the flowery kingdom during a period of peace and jollification, followed by the historical siege which was <*arried on against the city by the English and French troops from 185(5 to I860. In this, all of the terrible results of war are depicted with such realism that the spectator at once forgets that he is beholding a play, as it were. Beautiful crystal temples are shat­ tered by genuine shells, and actual fire destroys, in a few brief moments, the once proud and haughty city of Pekin. The spectacle itself is full of life, color and action, and terminates each evening with a brilliant ^msplay of fireworks, $1,500 worth beirig fired each night, and every evening something new, grand and amus­ ing. Beau til ii I bombs, shells and rockets fill the air, while Pain's marvelous water fireworks will astonish those who never saw such displays. Huge set pieces--the largest ever made--(the great fire of Chi­ cago, for example,) fire portraits, mar­ velous mechanical devices, etc., are given at each and every performance. The amphitheatre has a seating capac­ ity of over 18,000 people. The first per­ formance will be given on the evening of •Tune 27, continuing every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday thereafter dur­ ing the season. The grounds are located at the corner of Cottage Grove Avenue and 61st street, opposite the World's Fair buildings, and are available via Illinois Central suburban trains, State street or Cottage Grove Avenue cable cars. Reduced rates on all%railroads will be given during the run of this great specta­ cle. and thousands of country people will undoubtedly take advantage ot these concessions to visit the great World's Fair metropolis.
