Their mu9ic was much enjoyed bv all. of THE thirty-third annual reunion the 8th III. Vet. CaValry Association will be held at the Sherman House Chicago, on Saturday Sept. 17, 1898 Business meeting at 10 a. m.; dinner at 12. THE County Judges of the three coun ties comprising the Eighth Senatorial district heard the evidence in the Don nelly-Gra'dy contest at Waukegan, Tut* day and Wednesday, and reserved their decision until Sept. 13. A CERTAIN lady saw the new moon over her left shoulder the other eyening and that very same night the rats ate ap one of her pies. Of coarse if she hadn't had the misfortune to see the moon in that hoodooed fashion, she would not hwe left the pie exposed, neither would the rats have takea advantage of its being |e(fc witbia their reach. A SON of Mr. Lewis, who lives on the Jeff Ellis farm, west of Ringwood, fell from a horse on Taesday morning, dis­ locating his shoulder. Dr. Wells put the member back in place, and the young tgiap-fs getting along finely. THESE will be an Ice Cream Social at the home of Mrs. Richardson, three miles west of McHenry, on Friday evening of tbis week, for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Church. Every­ body cordially invited to attend. THE Steamer "McHenry," will make an excursion trip to Fox Lake this Wed­ nesday evening. They will leave Mc­ Henry about half past six, take supper at the Minneola and return to McHenry about 10:30. It will be a delightful trip. We belieye it is an invited party. THE ladies of the W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. W. A. Cristy on Thursday afternoon, of this week, Sept. 8 th, at 30 o'clock. As new officers are to be elected all members are requested to be present. f MRS. J. R. CLARK, Pres. MRS. T. J. WALSH, Secretary. W. C. ANNERS, the Watchmacker on the West Side, has an American Half Cent Coin of date of 1835. It is well pre­ served, and looks bright and new. He has had it;for a good many years, and has repeatedly been offered $5 for it, but will not part with it at any price. It is a rare coin, there being but few of them in existence. /DR. O. J. HOWARD, an old and highly inspected citizen of this village for many fears, but who has lived with his son, R Howard, at Elgin for the past year, (s now at his ^ daughters, Mrs. Simeon Kennedy, in this yillage, and is in a very feeble condition, He is having the best ®of care and his friends hope to see him ^ble to be around again soon. "X PREACHER in a nearby town is said to have announced that be would discuss a family scandal from the pulpit, and as a result every seat in the church was filled long before the time for services, many standing in the aisles, and a look of sat­ isfaction on the faces of the entire con­ gregation. The shrewd master of the flock then proceeded to discourse on Adam and Eve. Lisst Parry at Home. Lieut. H. R. Perry, of the Seventeenth ,United States Infantry, arrived at hie [home in this village on Friday afternoon ast, on a thirty days' sick leave. He is suffering with malarial fever, contracted in the trenches before Santiago. He shows the result of a hard campaign, but is' recuperating fast since he arrived home. His friends hope to see him con- ^nue to improve so that when his leave of absence expires he can join his regi­ ment well and hearty again. WE mentioned last week that Wltlard Colby. of Burton, who went to the Klon­ dike lasl winter, had started for home, but at this writing, Wednesday morn­ ing, he has not yet arrived, and his friends are getting to be a little anxious about him. He started for home three days before the Hoffman Brothers, who arrived here over a week ago, and noth­ ing has been heard from Colby. His many friends hope nothing serious has happened and that he will arrive home soon, WE notice by a Minnesota paper that Fas. Reyoir, a former resident of McHcnry, has been nominated by a Populist Con­ vention for Sheriff of Beltrami County, that State. Not being acquainted with tfefr politics of that part of the State of Minnesota, we are unable to even guess trhat his chances for an election are, but "Jims" many friends here hope he may be elected by a handsome majority, as they are sore that he would fill the office with credit to himself and honor to his constituents. NOTWITHSTANDING the extremely warm weather, there was a goodly audience Iwho took in the Surrick eutertainmentof Songs and Travels, which opened the ^season of '98, at Riverside Hall, on Wednesday evening last, and judging by the continuous enthusiastic outbursts Wfjapplause, the audience was highly appreciative. The new feature of illus­ trated Military Songs were superbly rendered and artistically delineated on the canvas. There is an elegance abont the Surrick entertainments that is captivating. OWING to other engagements we , were unable to attend the McHenry County Fair but one day this year, and in con­ sequence are not in a position to give it that extended notice that it deserves But all admit that it was one of the best ever held in the county, glean through- oat apd exhibits far beyond any former yeaf. On Thursday it was estimated jfetiat over 10,000 people were on the grounds, and the other days were fully up to the average. The rain of Friday morning made the closing day somewhat smaller than it otherwise would have been, nevertheless the receipts were a little over f5,000, which will pay all premiums and leave a handsome balance. That Secretary Wright is th6 right man in the right place has been again proved to the satisfaction of all, and the society will do well to keep him there as long as they can induce him to act.

The page is well worth examining and saving, for there is nothing in the article which would not be understood by any­ body, even a child, and a close study will make one qualified to form better opin­ ions than ever before as to what the weather will be. ONE of our neighboring exchanges re ports that it received the following com­ munication from one of its patrons: "Send me a few copies of the paper which had the obituary and verses about the death of my child a month or two ago. You will publish th«* enclosed clipping about my niece's marriage in your local columns, if It don't cost anything, that I am going to have a public sale and will rent my farm; also that I have a few ex­ tra calves to sell at public auction. Send me a couple of extra copies of the paper this week, but as my time is out you may stop my paper as times are to hard to fraste money on a newspap^." "RAMBLER," in Elgin Every Saturday, truthfully says: "The newspaper that is always praising itself, that records every time it 'follows' Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So when they leave town, etc., is an insuffer­ able bore. Ditto the individual who can find nothing better to talk about than herself or himself. If a woman is espe­ cially brilliant the people with whom she comes in contact will find it out without her telling them how brilliant she is con­ sidered or how popular she is. In fact if she is as brilliant as she imagines herself she will be smart enough to see how offensive such self-flattery is to civilized people. Men addicted to the same folly are even more obnoxious." AN erratic, if not erotic, exchange- known as Town Topics--speaks of the farce of people hurrying away from the resorts at just the season when those re­ sorts are at their best. This idea has probably occurred to many of my readers in connection with Lake Geneva. The season there is now virtually ended. The ringing of the school bell in early Sep­ tember is the cm few knell of the summer resorts, yet September and October are the most beautiful months in the year at the lake. It seems too bad to desert the woods and waters just when nature is putting forth her most artistic touches and the fish are enjoying their greatest appetites and^ the restful autumnal at­ mosphere is most inviting.--Every Sat­ urday.

THE home merchant is the man who helps pay for the streets you walk upon, for the school in which your children, or perhaps you, were educated; he helps to keep up the church in which you worship. Ue is a man who builds a home and en­ hances the value of your property. Every subscription that is passed has his name on it. He is the man who can­ not afford to swindle you ^self-interest, if not anything else, would prevent this. Ue bears his share of the good govern­ ment and he stays with you through sunshine and darkness, in the days of prosperity and adversity. These are but few of the reasons why your patronage should be given to the home merchant. Deal with the home merchant and pat­ ronize home industry.

The Packers at the Battle sf Cuba were all Heroes--Their H Kfforta In Getting Ammunition and ttons to the Front SaTert th« Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writ­ ing from Santiago de Cuba, oa July 23d, says: " We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed wo had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammuni­ tion and rations, but thanks to Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were ready to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one crit cal time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been noway of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this med­ icine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it ab* solutely saved life."
