NORTH CRYSTAL LAKE ITEMS, Mr. St. Clair, who is now in Califor­ nia, will return about May 1. No storm whatever for the month of March. Every day a fine one. The auditing committee of the town­ ship books met Tuesday, March 29. Mr. Miller has sold his home to Mrs. Magoon. We did not learn the price. Guy Prickett has sold his house and lot to C. L. Teckler. Consideration, $4,000.00. R. G. Smith is quite low at the pres­ ent writing. Mr. Smith has been very sick nearly all winter. Colby & Son are still at the auto busi- txpto the present time they have sold sixteen machines. Etta J. Kittle has purchased the Wm. P. St. Clair property--two lots, house aud barn. Price, $3,500.00. Farmers of this vicinity are very busy getting ready for spring work. Many are still getting their corn out. The local option meeting at the Clem­ ens school house, tho not very well at­ tended, was a good one and Mr, Pate spoke well and to the point. Fred Powers seems to know how to find March pigs. He reports 101 from eleven sows, otae being so kind as to give him a family or fifteen healthy pigs. This sounds well, with pork at $11 per cwt. A Mr. Peterson became somewhat in­ sane and jumped from a window onto porch roof and then rolled off onto the sidewalk, injuring himself so badly that he had to be taken to a hospital in Chi­ cago, where he died a few days later. The Easter exercises at the M. E. church were very fine and well attend­ ed, the house being nearly full. Mrs. Pate is deserving of much praise for the way in which she trained the little folks and they deserve much praise for the way they responded. The meeting at Barreville Snnday afternoon was a fine one, there being about eighty present. The singing was fine. Mr. Weaver, Mr. Pate and the other speakers improved the time and were well received. This meeting was held in connection with the regular Sunday school session that is held there every Sunday. Mr. Garrison and the people of this neighborhood are to be praised for the masterful way they are taking hold of the Sunday school at this place. We understand they have a usual attendance of about sixty-five. Death has been very busy here, the past week claiming seven victims in as many davs. Mrs. Powell, who was very sick last week, passed away on Wednes­ day evening. On Saturday, about 10 'clock, our local drayman, Carl Jurs, was instantly killed by a freight engine. Mr. Jurs crossed over to get some papers from a conductor on a southbound freight and after getting them stepped back immediately in front of a north­ bound freight engine. Mr. Jars had been the local drayman here for aboat eighteen years and was a very much respected and well liked man. The local option people are making a mighty effort to carry the day next Tuesday, April 5, and we wish for them a rousing success. They are to have a mass meeting on Sunday evening, April in Concordia hall, with two rousing speakers, Mr. FTF. -Half, a merchant of Dundee, and Hon. I. M. Western, a leading lawyer of Illinois. This meet­ ing is to be followed by a follow-up rally on Monday night at the same place, with Hon./ Charles H. Musgrave as the speaker. All of these men are practical men and understand what they are about.' Sunday night meeting at 7:30 m. and the Monday night meeting at 8 p.m. Let all who can hear these men. MRS. MARY E. POWELL. Mary Elizabeth England was born at lthlingboro, Northamptonshire, Eng., Sept. 22, 1846, and died at her home in North Crystal Lake, 111., March 23, 1910. She, with her parents, came to this country in 1859, settling in DeKalb county, where they resided until 1866, when they moved to McHenry county. On the oth day of September, 1869, she was united in marriage to Isaac N. Powell. Three years later they located at* North Crystal Lake, then Nunda, where she has since resided. She united with the M. E. church in the early seventies and was one of its most faithful and efficient members. As steward, member of the Ladies' Aid, treasurer of the W. F. M. 8. and Snn­ day school teacher she discharged every duty with scrupulous fidelity. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, March 26, 1910, in charge of her pastor, the Rev. R. H. Pate, assist­ ed by a quartette consisting of Messrs. Bucholz and Raue, Mrs. Sherburne and May Rose. At their close the casket was borne to the silent city of the dead, and amid the quiet hush of nature, in tbe beautiful cemetery at McHenry, her mortal remains were tenderly laid to rest by tbe side of her husband.

Five thousand folders from The Plain- dealer press, describing McHenry and Fox river as a summer resort, were dis- tribnted by Everect Hunter at the Motor Boat show in Chioago this week. The work was accomplished thru the efforts of tbe McHenry Industrial asso­ ciation. Every loyal citizen of McHen­ ry should boost our village and river at every opportunity and in this way help advertise our beautiful resort. Thrn Geo. A. Hunt of Woodstock, who paid this office a visit on Monday, we learn that McHenry has an excellent chance to land tbe annual farmers' in stitute this year. All it takes is a little bustling on the part of our business men. The writer will make a canvass of our business men to see whether or not they wabt the institute. All that is expected of our people is to furnish the hall, music and entertainment for speakers. The many friends of Miss Margaret Walsh, sister of Mrs. John Walsh of this place, will nndergo an operation at tbe West Bide hospital in Chicago today (Thursday;. Miss Walsh has been ill the greater part of the winter and on the advice of the attending physician the operation will take place. That tbe operation may be entirely successful and that Miss Walsh will soon be on the road to recovery is the earnest wish of her friends. The special train for which The Plain- dealer and other enterprising business men of McHenry have been boosting for some time past will make its first run between McHenry and Chicago tomor­ row, (Friday) April 1. The train will leave this station about 6:80 a. m. and return in the evening between the hours of five and six. Thus it will be seen that besides giving onr people better Chicago accommodation, tbe train will a!no carry our working men to and from the Terra Cotta works. The train shonld also serve to induce more Chica­ go people to move to McHenry. This means a suburban train serv this station and Chicago.
