L»r|« Gathering of Relatives and Friends Surprise Mr. and Mn>,~1H»th. Blake. Mr and Mrs. Mathias Blake, who for years have lived on a farm a short dis­ tance north of McHenry, and who a short time ago purchased the Peter Doherty residence ou North Green street in this village, to move to their new home some time this week. With this information at hand, a number of their relatives and friends "sprung" a neat little surprise on them last Sunday evening in the form of a farewell party. The company made their way to the Bisks home is a body and when Mr. Blake answered a rap at the door at atout 8:15 no oee bat those present can imagine how complete the surprise really was. Mr. Blake was so dumb­ founded for about half a minute that he could not speak, but, after sufficiently recovering from the sudden shock that overtook him when confronted by the unexpected visitors, he fnlly assured them all that they were welcome. The evening was passed in that good old fashioned way that one oftimes hears the older inhabitants speak of, and from all reports no time was spent in the shedding of tears. A more pleas­ ant surnrise n#"' toot pliCi iu luis vicinity and the event was a most tit- ting one. At a late hour, when the hands of the clock pointed directly up­ ward, refreshments were served As a memento of the occasion a handsome oak rocker was left to the host and hostess. Those present were: Messrs. and Mesdauies John Heitner. J. S. Frennd, Peter Blake, John Blake, Math. M. Blake, Wm. Blake, John Smith, Jos. Justen, John Hoff, Nick Bohr, Theo. Winkel, S. H. Freund, John Thennes, Mrs. Barbara Schmitt, Misses Maggie and Katie Blake, Eva Degan, Anna Pint, Messrs. Jos. Blake, Sr., Joe, Frank and Tony Blake, Jos. Schmitt and Chas. Christenson. At the home going hour Mr. and Mrs. Blake expressed their sincere thanks for the beautiful token left, after which all returned to their homes. Men wanted at Terra Cotta factory. Rural Route Carriers. Some of onr exchanges have made mention of the fact that the farmers living along the lines of rural routeB have contributed a bushel or so of corn or other grain to the carriers. This is a suggestion that might well be acted up­ on by the patrons of every rural route. The carriers have a government job, but it is by no means a "private snap." It takes a good deal of management to make both ends meet when they are obliged to keep their horses and buy all the necessary provisions at the market price. The carriers of our country have gone over their routes during inclement weather at a great inconvenience, and are always faithful in the performance of their duties. A bushel of corn or so given to the carrier would hardly be missed by the farmer, but it would be a great saving to the carrier in the ex­ pense of horse feed and the geueroub act would certainly be appreciated by the faithful mail man. New Card Club In formed. The first card club to announce its organization for the winter months is to be known as the E. S. T. club and has as members six married couples. The first meetiug of the club took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Boley on Court street last Sunday evening. Progressive cinch was the game played and the first honors for the evening went to Mr. aud Mrs Peter J. Freund, the Becond to Mrs. G. C. Boley and J? J. Bishop and the consolation to Mrs. Jos. Schneider aud G. C. Boley. Tne club will meet every other Suuday evening thrbout the winter months. The mem­ bers of said club are as follows: Messrs. aud Mesdawes G. C. Boley, J. J. Bishop, W. A Fisher, Jos. Schneider, Jos. Roth- erinel and Peter J. Freund. Halloou Leaves Souvenir. I. E. Mason, son-in-law of M. Merri* man of this village, is the proud pos­ sessor of a souvenir of the Isle de France, one of the balloons which made the trip from St. Louis into Canada last week. On Tuesday luorniug be was out in his field when the balloon passed over and a basket was dropped down to him. It had evidently contained Bouie prod no I of the Edelweiss Brewing company, as there was a card bearing their compli­ ments and three bottle openers tied to the handle. There was also a card on which were the names of the bal- xm, isle de France, and Walter de Muraiu, the aviator. Tbe car had four occu­ pants. Klrlliday Surprise Parly.

She sear­ ing the age of three score aud ten, but during tbe past year never luiweil day, never was tardy and never complained of ill health.

Last week he dug one-half bushel- of fiue large potatoes knd thinks his experiment has paid him well. He is confident he has more and better pota­ toes than he would have had if planted earlier. Tbe new postal savings bank system will soon be in partial operation at least The government has on ba)id 5,000,000 of the stamps, wthiob can be sold at ten cents eacht, with the,cards' to which they are to be attached. The cards also cost ten cents each, so when a card has nine atatnpe affixed tbe whole may be turned iu to represent a deposit of one. dollar. Sach an arrange ment encourages small savings, the Aggregate of v-hick may become very large. The signal men of the Northwestern have received notices to make extra preparatioiiafor a severe winter- The meu are protecting the battery wells along tbe line, strengthening the poles and getting ready for a bard, cold win­ ter. Whether the ofiteials of the North­ western secure advance information on the weather for the next five months, or whether tbey are just going to get ready for a repetition of (he weather of last winter is not known. However,' tbe Northwestern is not going to be caught napping this winter.

Vnur home merchant can duplicate (be. pt-ices made by any responsible con­ cern any where on goods of equal qual­ ity. iq the samp ijuantity and on the saute buds of delivery aud payment. You can examine your purchases In tbe home stores and be assured of satis taction Itefore investing yonr money. Your home merchants are always ready and williug to make right any error or any defective article purchased. Your home merchauts help support, thru direct aud indirect taxation, your schools, churches, libraries and other pni>iic institutions. , Your home' merchants help make a good local market for everything you have to sell, and that market--more than Huf other one factor--gives yonr land its present value! Your bo me merchants are yonr good friends, ever ready to exMtad a helping hand iu time of need. Tbe best citizens in this community are those who believe in and practice home patronage. Be one of the beet! The merchants in the distant city give you nothing valuable that the home merchauts cannot give you--and the foruipr cannot aud will not do for you many things the latter do gladly. Every dollar kept in circulation iu this commuuity helps increase property values. JSvery dollar out of this com­ munity that could as well be spent here binders the wheels of progress and helps build up some other community at your expense. " rtclicHi! Notoi.

Came Have From Oennaay In tke Bnrly Forties and Was Among the First Three Fniiiiiin to Settle at JuiiuHuuigb. Just about an hour before the golden se n beams were kissing the tree tops, bidding the sleepy world to awake and gird itself for a new and glorious day, the soul of one of McHenry's oldoet as well as earliest settlers passed thru tbe golden gates to her heavenly reward, os WedssmUy aumusg, Get. id, 1910,-- tbe soul of Mrs John Mueller. The end came at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John H. Kenaebeek, where she had been making her home for some time, death coming thru & gen­ eral breakdown, which, on account of her advanced age, she was unable to withstand The subject of tiiia sketch was born at Munk, Grata Maisen, E. G. Koblenz, Germany, Sept. 97, 1888. She obtained but very little schooling, as she was but uine years of age when her parents and the balance of the family sailed the ocean of waters to the new world, Amer­ ica. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schmitt. On the family's arrival in America tbey came direct to a point where Johns burgh now stands, the Schmitt family being one of three then residing at that point, the other two fafnilies being those of Nioklous Adams and Nioklous Frett With but three white families in that section of the country oue can easily imagine existing conditions at that time. However, be­ ing of that sturdy, courageous stock, she, with tbe balance of the white set­ tlers, set out to assist in making a live­ lihood. The Schmitt homestead, a log cabin, stood on the site, or near to it, now occupied by the handsome Catholic church at Johasburgh. Miss Susanna Schmitt was united in marriage to Mr. John Mueller (deceased) in the year of 1849. A few years after her marriage her husband purchased the farm now owned by Nick F. Freund, uear Johasburgh, on which she contin­ ued to reside until about twelve years ago, when, with her husband and the children that were at home at the time, she moved to McHenry, which place wae her place of abode up to the time of her death. The union was blessed with sixteen children, nine of whom with the husband preceded the deceased to the great beyond, while seven are living to share the sorrow her demise has brought them. The living children areas follows: William, Peter H. and Mrs. Josephine Mayer of Staeyville, la. Mrs. Mary K. Lenzen of Fremont, 111.; John W. Mueller of Spring Grove, 111.; Mrs. John H. Kennebeck and Miss Elis­ abeth Mueller of this place. Besides tbe children she leaves forty-two grand children and twenty-three great-grand children. Mrs. Mueller was a woman of a sweet and sympathetic nature and at all times was greatly devoted to her family. Her excellencies were beyond count, while her generous heart prompted her to fulfill uiors than a few acts of charity towards those in need. She led a life in strict adherence with tbe Roman Gatbolic faith, of which she was a faith­ ful believer. No woman oonld set a better example for her children and the world than did she and her place can never again be filled in this world, where women of her calibre are so sad­ ly needed. Tbe deceased will be great­ ly misnrd by a circle of admiring friends, bat her kind deeds while among us will Qever be forgotten. ^ The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic chnrch here on Friday morn­ ing of last week and was largely at­ tended. Rev. A. Royer, pastor of the church, officiated. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband in St. Mary's cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. The ohildren of the late Mrs. Susanna Mueller wish in this msnnsr to thank the many kind friends who extended helping and sympathetic hands during their recent sad bereavement. Pound Social. Tbe Lsdies' Aid society of tbe M. E. church will hold a pound social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Went- worth on Tuesday evening next, Nov. 1. This will also bS a reception to their pastor, Rev.

CONCERNING COUNTY SCHOOLS j Itei of General Interest as Famished by Count Superintendent. Miss Gertrude EUithorpe is again teaching tbe school in the McConnell district. This is Miss Ellithorpe's third year in that community. Her work is highly satisfactory and we hear noth- ing but good reports from tu&t district. Miss Catherine O'Connor, who teaches the Lawrence school, receives a salary of $67 60 per month. This is probably the largest salary received by any teacher of a one-room school In the Connty. Tbst s&A ia w«ll ap0?th amount is evidenced by her retention for the third year in the same position- Miss Ella Baker, who teaches in the Walkup district, has one of the most progressive schools in the county. Here, also, they have recently established a new beating system. The school sur­ roundings are unusually well preserved, and what is most important of all is the fact that there is a goodly attendance of children at the school. Miss Baker is a true teacher and virtually lives with and for her pupils. The Island school in the town of Dunham has made much needed im­ provements within the iast school year. They have added to building by con­ structing a hall-way, painted it within and without, made new steps, built new out buildings, and added some more land to their play ground. May the good work go on. Miss Nora Howard, the teacher, is giving the people of the district a good school. Miss Jane Acker, who teaches in tbe White Oaks school in tbe town of Che­ mung, has made radical improvements in that school with the assistance of a wide awake public spirited board of di rectors. Among the many improve­ ments are a lavatory with outside drain, drinking fount, individual drinking cups, curtains and shades, screened windows, new desks (adapted to the size of the pupils) and many other things that go to make up an ideal country school. May that kind increase in number. Miss Cassie Hereley, who teaches in the North Dunham school, is to be favored by the installation of a new heating system that provides for an up- to-date system of ventilation. She la jubilant over the improvement. This is one of about fifteen plants of this kind that are being installed in the country schools of the county. This is an indi cation of the fact that the oonntry directors are awaking to the needs of protecting the health of their children while in the school room. Ventilation of school rooms should at least come abreast of ventilation for onr dairy barns and hog houses. COMING. Com day for each country school of McHenry county, Fridsy, Nov. 11.

That the dancing erase is losing none of its cbsrm in McHenry and vicinity Is evident from tbe manner that these social functions are being patronized here. The dances at Stoffel s hall dur­ ing the past summer have been of ex­ ceptionally high order, and from tbe manner that the young people of this place and the surrounding towns are turning out to these affairs we feel safe in stating that McHenry is one of tbe most popular dancing places in the county. The biggest dancing event of the season will take place on Saturday evening, Oct. £9, when Sherman's seven piece orchestra of Woodstock has been engaged to furnish the music. It is, indeed, very seldom that the dance lov­ ing public of McHenry is given the op­ portunity of tripping the light fantas­ tic to the strains of a seven piece orches­ tra and for this reason tbe event is being looked forward to with pleasure, by the young people especially. Dancing will begin at p. in., sharp, and will con­ tinue until 19:00 o'clock. Tickets for this occasion are $1.00. All are invited. Public Card Party. The local camp of M. W. A. will give a public card party in their hall next Thursday evening, Nov. 10, proceeds to be used for tbe erection of a tent at tbe tuberculosis colony at Colorado Springs, Colo., for the members of the M. W. A. This tent is to be built and maintained by the M. W. A. of McHenry connty. Refreshments will be served and an admission of twenty-five cents will be charged. Everyone is cordially invited to attend, enjoy a social evening and at the same time know you are helping along a most worthy effort. No Hunting or Trespassing.
