That is the new name of the corporation controlling' Wood­ land cemetery. ,v The membeirs of the association, which already "has its charter and is duly incorporated under the state laws of Illinois, are as follows: Mrs. Ella M. Wheeler, Mrs. n Waish: Mrs. Arlette T. Perry, Mrs. Arminda Colby, L. F. Block, P. L. McOmber and John F. Claxton. At a recent meeting of the associ­ ation the following officers were elect­ ed: President, Mrs. Ella M. Wheeler; secretary, L. F. Block; treasurer, O. N. Owen. The aim of the new corporation is to make Woodland cemetery an invit­ ing spot and a movement is now on foot to place this cemetery in the front with the best to be found anywhere. The place where we lay our dead and whose memories we still hold dear can­ not be made too beautiful, and the work started by the association should be appreciated by the community at large. The association now has a man at work trimming the trees, raking the lots and clearing away the many eye sores that have accumulated during the winter months. The old wood fence which has enclosed the grounds for so many years and which has be­ come unserviceable will be replaced with a neat wire fence. These, to­ gether with a few other improvements that are contemplated and will be made as soon 8s possible, will, when completed, make the cemetery one of beauty and admiration. To bring all these changes and im­ provements about and to keep the grounds in the proper condition dur­ ing the summer months costs consid­ erable and for this reason the members of the association ask each lot owner to contribute one dollar towards the defraying of this expense. This, the members of the association believe, is just and proper, and lot owners are asked to pay their dollar to any one of the officers at their very earliest convenience, thus insuring the completion at an early date of the good work now started. Those having more than one lot are asked to pay according to the number of lots owned. The taxation is very small and each lot owner should contribute cheerful­ ly. It is the one last respect that we can show our beloved ones who are gone before us and by starting the work now the growing generation will follow the example now adopted and keep our resting place in the condi­ tion that it should be kept after we, too, have passed to the glorious shore. Every lot owner should give this matter his ^ immediate and sincere attention and let their thoughts move to action and thereby assist in helping along one of the most worthy causes before humanity. SEEK AID OF CONGRESS 11 m.rtED«. roras ™ WA« SOKK IK LORAIN COUNT*/ : DECEMBER IT, 1801. TO MAKE POX RIVES HAVIGABLE STREAM OF WATER. Chicago and Elgin will join in a movement to make the Fox river a navigable stream. Petitions addressed to Congressman Copley asking his* aid in securing an appropriation from congress, being circulated in Elgin, Dundee and Algon­ quin marks the first s^ep in the cam­ paign. It is hoped to have the Fox river between Elgin and McHenry dredged within the next two years--to make a complete waterway to the chain of lakes. The cost of this is roughly es­ timated at 8100,000. Only a few miles will have to be dredged, and there is bow a government dredge at Fox Lake. When a few miles have been dredged it will mean iuu miles of waterway north of Elgin to Fox Lake, Pistakee Bay and the scores of other lakes in the northern part of the state and southern Wisconsin. The accomplishment of a navigable stream between Elgin and the lakes means hundreds of dollars each year to this village and to the other towns and villages along the river. Under a decision of congress, the Fox river is ^ navigable stream. At­ torney Charles H. Fisher of Elgin, who is interested in the movement, is au­ thority for the statement that the hydraulic companies owning the dam at Elgin would be forced to put in locks. » Mayor Carter Harrison, former Ma­ yor Busse, Senator William Lorimer and many other politicians in Chicago are to be interested in the project. G. C. Shoobridge, who is active in the movement, is managing the pres­ ent campaign, and is taking charge of the circulation of the petitions to be sent Congressman Copley. The dredging of the river from El­ gin to McHenry is the first step in a movement to eventually make the Fox river a navigable stream from the lakes to the Mississippi river. WILL KEEP HOUSE FOR SOU. Woodstock Republican: A pleasant surprise was tendered Mrs. Cobb at the home of Mrs. A. Hensler on Saturday evening by a number of the ladies of the Catholic church. The affair was in the nature of a farewell, as Mrs. Cobb leaves this week for Diamond, Ind., where she will keep house for her son, Father Cobb, who has recent­ ly taken a parish at that place. A pretty gift, expressing the love of all present, was presented to Mrs. Cobb, accompanied by the best wishes of all for a safe and pleasant journey to her new home. Cards were enjoyed duriog the evening, followed by feb# of light refreshment* Died, at St. Joseph's hospital, Elfia, 111., April 28, 1912, Mrs. Fred Powers. Harriet Foley Powers was born in Lorain county, Ohio, Dec. 11, 1861. Her early life was spent la or near the place of her birth. She was united in marriage to Fred R. Powers of Crystal Lake Jan ?0, 1S02. At. Oiiio. They immediately began housekeep­ ing upon the farm where she resided up until the time of her death. To the union were born three chil­ dren, two of whom, Raymond and Will, survive her. During the last few years Mrs. Pow­ ers suffered from a complication of diseases, which she bore with the greatest patience. All that medical skill and careful nursing could do for her relief was in vain, and on April 28 she passed peace fully away at the hospital to which she had been taken a week previous. Her remains were -brought to her lata home near Crystal Lake and from there to St. Patrick'6 church, Mc Henry, where requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. D. Lehane, who preached a very touching and eloquent sermon on her life work. The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends who assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to one who was revered as a faithful wife, a loving mother and a true friend. Then all followed those who bore her to the grave near by, where the body was tenderly laid to reBt beside the little daughter who had died in fnfancy. Besides her husband and two sons the deceased leaves four sisters, Mrs. Emma Fuller of Elyria, Mrs. Annie Holmes of Sycamore, O., Mrs. Julia Fordyce of Clarksburgh, W. Va., and Mrs. Thos. Powers of McHenry, III.; also two brothers, Martin V. and Thos. B. Foley of Cleveland. The floral offerings were beautiful and showed the high esteem in which she was held by her neighbors and friends. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were: Mrs. Emma Fuller, Mrs. Julia Clark,- Thos. Foley and Sheldon Holmes of Ohio; Mr. and Mri. Hanahran, Mjr. and Mrs. Jas. Powers, son and daughter, and Mrs. Mary Mc­ Kay of Chicago; Mrs. Wm. Dewey of Beloit, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. Carroll and T. Nolan of Hartland. V r:>*\ •' V. ' 6*89! NOTICE TO CORN GROWERS.

Harvard Herald: Objections to the installation of a big ditch with which it is intended to drain and reclaim ap­ proximately 1,000 acres of land in the towns of McHenry and Nunda were filed in the county court on Monday morning, when Judge Smiley took his place on the bench. Owners of the Sayler estate, including the widow, two sonS and a daughter, and the Hut- son brothers are the largest property owners within the drainage district as formed. The suit was put over until this week Saturday in order that the peti­ tion as filed may be amended. D. R, Joslyn,C. P.Barnes, V. S. Lumley and Mullen & Hoy appear for various par­ ties seeking to prevent either the in­ stallation of the ditch or oppose it on the ground that the levy as made is excessive. The land sought to reclaim is largely in McHenry county and is in the southwest corner of that town* tho a tract of it is in the northeast corner of Nunda. Seven slot machines were captured at various places in the east part of the county last Thursday by Sheriff Henderson and Deputy Sheriff Whaples of this city. Sedate Solon Mills was where one of the devises was obtained. Others were found in operation at Johnsburgh, Pistakee Bay and along the river in the vicinity of McHenry. Wm. Bonslett and Chas. E. Benson appear as the complaining parties to the Confiscation of the machines, which are now in the custody of the sheriff. An elegant line of Staver buggies and Northwestern truck wagons are now being shown by Math. Freund. Call and see him. 43 J. C. DEBRECHT QUALITY : SERVICE : RIGHT PRICES Johnsburgh, III.
