We have now had / continual cold weather since the week { before Christmas, and this Wednesday I morning is the first indication we have \ bad of a let up. We like good solid ^ winter weather but this beats the record. NOT many people stop to think about it, but the outside of a lemon is said to be anything but clean. It is claimed that if you examine it closely you will see many tiny spots like scales, all over .it. These are the eggs of insects, and if the lemon is not washed they are likely to become an ingredient in whatever dish the lemon is used. AN exchange very truthfully remarks: One of the hardest things to get drilled into the heads of the people is a realisa­ tion of the fact that itcosts anything to ipt out a respectable newspaper once a •week, and that in order to make both •end# meet as in other business the pub­ lisher must have a steady income. This can only be secured by prompt paying subscribers, who in turn get greater Miss BROWN, who is to take the music class formerly taught by Miss Brill, will be in West McHenry Friday next, Jan. 20th, after 4:30 P. M. and will remain until 3:30 P. M. Saturday, at which time she would like to meet all those who de­ sire to continue taking lessons and make final arrangements. She may be found at that time at the post office, West McHenry. A FULTON county farmer makes public his experience on fattening hogs on wheat this season. He says he kept a strict ac­ count of the amount fed and the gain made, and estimating the price of hogs at four and one-half cents per pound he finds that his wheat brought him one dollar per bushel as feed. At the actual price of hogs he sold his wheat for about f 1.25 per ^bushel, and says it is the easiest way to market wheat he ever tried. IN a neighboring town the girls are talking about joining an anti-tobacco chewing club. The members of this club are to pledge themselves that they will not go with, or be kissed by, a young man who chews "the filthy weed." We wish the girls all the good luck in the world, but we fear that it will not pan out as well as they hope. When the average girl gets the fever for a fellow, most anything that wears trousers is welcomed with the sweetest smile. THE later Ocean makes the following sensible, remarks: "You can always judge a town and its people by its news­ paper. Never buy town lots or lands where a poor half-starved newspaper is published. Newspapers these days are a necessity, not a luxury. They are so cheap that the poorest man can have-- unless he is running a bill at the saloon. It matters not how many city papers a man may take, he sbould give an honest support to his home paper." - SOME men know how to be real mean. A story is going around about a man whose wife had gone visiting and would not listen to his appeals to come home before her visit was out. Hetookacopy of his home paper and carefully clipped out just one item, and then sent the paper to her. She wrote and asked him what the item was about and he refused to tell her. The scheme worked admira­ bly, and in lees than a week she was at borne to find out what had happened her husband did not want her to know about. _ ' LIARS' clubs are numbered among the firmly established institutions of London, Strange as it may seem at first blush, the clubs are productive of considerable good. The truth is laid out cold at every meeting of the organization, but if a member is known to lie outside of his club room he is at onee expelled. A cer tain amount of prevarication is inherent in all men, except newspaper men, and if this natural propensity can be made to find expression in one certain place, where it is not only expected but required, in­ discriminate lying ought naturally to be reduced. Liars' clubs on the London plan should be introduced in the United States, and the national capital would be an excellent place for the first one. Loafer Win* Pic and Wine. Loafer, the pacer, hauled W. I. Miller to Ed. Smith's club house in Chicago, Saturday ahead of all competitors and thus won the price annually given to the man who first arrives in a cutter. He is referred to as "the famous pacer who drove out Flying Jib at Independence last summer in 2:11^. WOOD CHOPPERS WANTED! A few good wood choppers wanted. Apply to C. E. Chapeil, Algonquin, IU. AN old law of the reign of George III, has been revived ia England, where pub- be profanity has shown a tendency to in­ crease oi late. For every oath uttered in public a laborer must pay one shilling, a man a little above that grade must for­ feit two shillings and a gentleman five. The choice oaths commonly used in pub­ lic by English gentlemen are unquestion­ ably well worth the money. With this law enforced in the United States there is raason to think the tariff laws might be "iped off the statute books. /CHICAGO is bound to be at the head of the class anyhow. "TTord pomes that she ss to have at the World's Fair a gigantic elephant, larger than the one at Coney Island, which is only 100 feet high. This steel mammoth will be 125 feet "bigh to the ridge of the back and 200 feet to the top of the "howdah," The trunk will be swung by machinery, the ears will flap, the eyes will roll and the tail will it ag. Within this trunk will be a calliope to Stimulate the beast's roar. There will be jjbwo floors in this two-hundred-and-fifty- jbhonsand-dollar jgephant--the main floor 'and grand promenade and dancing hall, with a gallery, and the^'stomach floor," ere there will be a great restaurant. Hiogwood Department. A LOCAL newspaper is often accused of bias in regard to giving personal notices commenting on the coming and going of some and omitting others. The accusa­ tion is entirely wrong and unjust. It is with the people and not the editor. He is always willing and even anxious to tell who comes and goes, if he can find out: but a country paper cannot afford to have a score of salaried reporters. If yon have visitors, 1st us know who, they are and where they come from; if anything happens in your community let us know about it; if you get married let us know the names of your guests; if you know anything tell us about it. You will find us as ready to notice one as another, patron or otherwise, friendfi or foes.--Ex. IT was at Lincoln, 111., that a religious revival was in progress and the evange­ list, after a powerful sermon on the Christian duties of debt paying, called upon all members of the congregation who paid their debts to stand up. The congregation rose almost to a man. After they were seated, the evangelist in­ vited those who did not pay their debts to stand. A solitary, forlorn looking individual rose to his feet, and explained that while he found himself in that cat­ egory, very unwillingly, he could not help himself as he was the editor and proprietor nf the local paper, and could not pay up, as all the congregation owed him subscription. Such a flood oi money an poured into the office the next morning had never been known in the history of the paper.

He will give you the best goodt; for th© least mon«{y. * I At present writing the thermometer registers 16 degrees below zero, and this is the ninth consecutive day upon which the mwrcury was away below that point at the extremes of the day. Misses Rilla Coates and Ellen Morgan are indisposed at present, both being under treatment by M. D.'a <?, School in both departments progresses well. - Mr. Fay now has plenty of time with the advance classes, and Miss Stevens has her time well occupied with the juveniles. The Woodman here are fast developing a good camp. Some of our very best citizens are numbered therein and many new ones are desirous of being added • to the number. It is a worthy motive that inspired any man to join such a society, and the society has shown itself well worthy the confidence of the benevolent class of society. Perry Graves, who was called to Chi- 'cago by the illness of his mother, has re­ turned to school at Oak Lawn Academy. Letters from E. E. Carr and R. Stenzel state that the boys are employed profi­ tably at Twin Lakes. The boys who attended the glass ball shoot; at Grass Lake, last Saturday, had a cold time and no especial honors to offset. All returned about 8 p. M. and re­ ported a good time. There is to be a shoot There soon they say. , J. W. (/risty & Son are busy invoicing this week, and though it is a heavy un­ dertaking it is made much easier by their commodious shelves and counters. Milk business is increasing at our fac­ tory, Oatman Bros, are making every improvement of modern ingenuity appli­ cable to their work here and mean to pay the farmers as well for their milk as they can be paid anywhere. J. M. Dnfield attended to business here on Monday. Ou Monday Frank Young, the pioneer thresher of Dutch prairie, unloaded a Keystone corn husker from the cars at this place. This is a machine that husks, not threshes the corn, and while the ears are being rattled into baskets at a seven hundred bushel a day rate the. fodder is being cut into stiori leng ths as by a Bel! City cutter, thus making the use of feed cutters unnecessary where the husker is used. Mr. Young brought the first J. I. Case "Agitator" into these parts and has ever shown that spirit of enterprise for which he must be credited for this ven­ ture. If you want grain threshed, clover hulled or corn husked don't forget this worthy gentleman. A. S. Jackson has just put in a fu'l line of Voak Bros, celebrated Wilmot flour, ranging fn price from $1 to $1.25 per sack. They warrant the last bs good as Pillsbury's best, and solicit a trial. Don't forget, good flour only $ 1 a sack- Yoak Bros, is an old firm and one against which charges of unfair dealing Was'never made. When they studied arithmetic it was Robinson's, (not Mil­ ler's.) Robinson's says % of 60 pounds of wheat is 7% pounds, and they practice it just as it was taught them. Miller's arithmetic don't state just exactly how many pounds would make % of 60 but the farmer who takes such weight of wheat to mill generally finds that % of 60 makes about 40 to 44 pounds. You can find by substraction what the other eighth must be. The large patronage those gentlemen have won by sticking to Robinson-should put Mr. Miller's ghost to shame. During the past two weeks your scribe has been "batching" it, and has cause to be grateful to the neighbors surely From our short experience we conclude that if each of the neighbors would do his share we could "batch" it all winter at a nominal cost. If the party who sent us the anony­ mous letter describing the biggest liarin, not Ringwood but the whole of North America, will call and sign said article it shall go to press, otherwise it must go to the fire. The mere assertion that he lied about your scribe all around will not assure its publication. I'mistrust some one else has an ax to grind. He, Mr. writer, has probably told some truth about you and you want me to punish him for lying, if he really did lie about me I forgive him for it and leave him to the Great One to chastise. If he really told truth about you and you want him punished by publishing him in the paper, sign your nsme to your article, send it to the PLAINDEALER and prepare for the result. I have just enough of my own written to sign and must refuse to en­ dorse vonrs doott QOOOS AT BOT- '"':??TOM PRICES JOHN I.
