V jf* * , r 0UR readers will notice a change in the ' Railroad Time Table, which can be found at the head of our local page. The 2:48 train going north and the 5:32 going south have been discontinued for the season, and some slight changes have taken place in the running of the other trains, which the traveling public will do well to note. •- AN exchange says that " a woman's * • cimracter has been likened to a postage stamp--one black mark ruins it. Man's like a treasury note--no matter how many stains it still passes at par. When a woman falls from grace her character is usually ruined forever, while on the other hand a man may straighten up and be received into the bast society again. Why is it thus ?

ANDRUS, publisher of The Andrus Idea, made! our sanctum a pleas­ ant call one day last week. We have carefully examined the prospectus, or advance pages of this work, and believe that when issued it will be an honor, both to its publisher and McHenry county. Typographically it will be neat and tasty, and its general makeup shows skill and workmanship. Mr. Andrus has done a great deal of hard work in this matter and deserves the success he seems likely to achieve. THE Ringwood Young People's Aid Society will hold its next meeting Sept. 20,1894, at the residence of Mrs. Spaul- ding. Program as follows.

We publish the fol­ lowing from one of our recent exchanges: Sutton's Double Uncle Tom'sCabin Co. drew a large audience at the People's. There were the two Topsies, two Marks and four donkeys. This old time favor­ ite was well rendered, and some excellent songs and specialties were worked in. The specialties alone are worth more tiian the price of admission.

Mr. Rouen has been connected with this market for the past year or two, ard knowing the wants of its customers will no doubt keep it qp to its former high standard. ; * Gearing sale of Shoes at Evansonl, MINE host Huberis sparing no pains to make it pleasant for all who attend the Second Annual Fish and Game Dinner, at the Lakeside Hotel, on Sunday next, Sept. 23d, and will furnish a dinner that has never been surpassed in this section.

Remem­ ber the date, Sunday. Sept. 23. GENERAL changes in the postage stamp department have been ordered by the Post Office Department. Many stamps which have been issued for years have been ordered discontinued, and a number of new denominations will hereafter be put in use. The object is to reduce the number of denominations and get rid of some of the old stamps. The present stock of old stamps will last about two months and the officials expect to place the new stamps on sale throughout the country on November 1. AN exchange in commenting on indi­ viduals has the following to say of the good fellow: "What is generally known as a good fellow is the neutral man. He provokes no opposition, is never the sob- ject of criticism or the object of censure. He is liked for what he doesn't do.-- There are scores of these good fellows. They can be found in almost any com­ munity. But they are not the men who lead in public enterprises, head subscrip­ tion lists or build up a town, party or church. They aren't the kind of men that boys should imitate or emulate. One man with the sharp corners of indi­ viduality protruding, is worth a host of these good fellows in anv walk of life. THE question is sometimes asked re­ garding the law of the street for pedes­ trians. A lawyer answers the question in one of our exchanges as follows: "The streets belong to teams and vehicles, and pedestrians have no more right on them, except at the sides, than teams would have on the sidewalk. The crosswalks on street corners belong to pedestrians, who have the right of way there by law against teams, and it is the duty of drivers to watch out for pedestrians at crossings. Many drivers ignore the law; go dashing over crosswalks, endangering life and limb of pedestrians, without once thinking that they are violating the law! by driving rapidly over a crossing, noi^ j has a driver any right to obstruct a street crossing by allowing his team ornd vehicle to remain thereon indefinitely." tut ProoeeftlBf of ths feoaxd at Truetee*.

Theexception noted, a care-worn hungry- looking, clothed-in-his-last-summer-suit individual, slowly assumed a perpendicu­ lar position, and leaned upon the back of a bench in front of him. "How is it, my friend," inquired the minister, "that you are the only man in this large congrega­ tion who is unable to meet his obliga­ tions?" "I publish a newspaper," he meekly replied, "and my brethren here who have just stood up are all subscrib­ ers, and"--"Let us pray,', exclaimed the minister.
