Sutton, who has been con­ nected with the West McHenry State bank for some time past, is in lind for the position of cashier of the new insti­ tution and it is needless for us to say that Joe will make an efficient as well as pains-taking man for the job. He is a young man of exceptional qualifications, straight as a string and a'pleasant young fellow to deal with. He is accommodating and faithful in the discharge of the duties that rest upon him and we can see npthing but a successful career before him. His many friends here in McHenry and the surrounding territory feel proud of him and wish him all the suc­ cess in the world when he takes up-his new position.- 1 The stockholders of the new institu­ tion and the citizens of Cary in general feel grateful towards Mr. Stenger for his untiring efforts already directed for the good of the cause, and when established Cary'will be able to boast of one of the nest little banking houses in any village of its size in the state.

ARE MARRIED 46 YEARS WETS AND DRYS TO BATTLE AT CONING STRING TOWNSW ELEC­ TION VOTE WILL In common with over 300 other cities and towns of the state, the legal voters of the toWn of Mchenry will, in all probability, be given another opportu­ nity to express thenisel ves as to whether or not this town should becotne anti- s a l o o n t e r r i t o r y . . . . The leaders of the dry forces of the town have been active for some tiiuk past in geiiing signers to a petition, asking that the question be placed on the ballot at the coming spring elec­ tion, whicli takes place on April 7. In an interview with one of the dry lead­ ers on Tutsday morning of this week, we were told that about. 150 voters of the town had -signed the petition and that the question would ttndoubtedly be placed before the voters this spring. It has been six years since the voters of McHenry township were given an opportunity to express themselves on this question and, in view of the fact that the women are privileged to ex­ ercise their rights of franchise this spring, the dry forces are mo»e than encouraged over their prospects, of ^winning out this time. Tt would probably be quite interest­ ing at this time u> give our readers the result oi the last vote on the ques­ tion, which took place on April 7., 1908.

The deceased had many friends in McHenry^ and vicinity, who extend to the be- rep#d iM»es deepest sympathy. majority Total majority for wets in township. 1 242 Surprising as it may seem, Ring- wood, the drys' stronghold, went wet by a majority of 37. However, six years have' elapsed since that election and with the assistance of- the female vote the result may be in favor of the drys this lime. The writer in a recent . interview with one of the dry followers was given some interesting information. First of all, we were told that the women of this township were intelligent and awake U> the best interests of the town. "There isn't a woman in this town, or for that matter, a man either, but what, right down in her or bis heart, knows and believes the saloon to be a detriment tc civilization," the informant said and further added that one of the things that gave the wets the large majority six years ago was the cry of the wets that the taxes would swell to suclran extent that the poor man would find the burden too heavy for him to carry. "This," he said, "frightened many to such an ex­ tent that they voted in favor of sa­ loons. Furthermore," he added, "this cry of the saloonkeeper paying the taxes is all rot. They don't pay one penny of our taxes. They are simply paying $500 a year for the privilege of slicing up that $100,000 which is being spent in the saloons of the village of McHenry annually, to say nothing of the thousands of dollars that are being raked fn by the blind pigs of the town­ ship. * "Those who have been misled by the statement that the saloonkeepers are paying the taxes should bear this fact in mind: Just think of how far one-tenth ot the money that is spent ii) McHenry saloons annually would go towards the payment of taxes. One- tenth means $10,000, or $4,000 more than the saloonkeepers are now paying We want every tax payer to use his or her own judgment in this vital matter and by so doing we feel sure of carrying the day." The lMaindealer will endeavor U) keep in touch with this question and our columns are open to everyone to express his or her views so long as the writer does not become personal The writer has often heard it re­ peated that there isn't the least possi­ ble chance of McHenry goingdry. The wet forces, we will admit, are very well fortified and we feel sure that they will not be idle while the work-of their enemies in this battle Is going on. The wets are equally confident of victory on April 7 and from now on will lose no time explaining ^o, their friends their side of the question. Nearly every ot^er town of McHenry county that now h^s saloons will vote on the question $his spring and it is already freely predicted that at least four or five of these places will go dry. The female voters of McHenry town ship are already beginning to talk poli­ tics. A number are already posting themselves1 as to "how tfe vote and others have gone so far as to pick the men they intend voting for. All' in all, the coming spring elec­ tions give promise of terminating into mighty interesting events and every resident of the towqship is anxiously awaiting the result of the women's vote in McHenry township.

North Crystal Lake Hevatjd: Judge Frost, on the 7th day of January, hand­ ed down an opinion in the Barber tax matter pending before the circuit court, in which he held that the coun­ ty court of McHenry county had ample, complete and adequate juris­ diction of the vthoie matter, and Judge Smiley has now entered an order that Charles W. Kellogg, executor of the last will and testament of Alfred M. Barber, deceased, pay oyer to Guy E, Still, county clerk of McHenry county, the aggregate sum of $126,100, within five days after service pf notice, the said sum to be subject to the order of the county court wtil the final dis­ position of the master iu the circuit court, as yteli as the. claims filed in the county court of such ta*es. This action was taken by judge Sifiiley on his own volition, without any sugges­ tion from anyone, but in so doing he is certainly protecting the rights of the people and the various taxing bodies interested- in the payment of the baok taxes of the Barber estate as well as the mterest of the legatees under the Barher will. By this order none of the legatees are harmed, but in the oase the peopie and the varioul taxiqg bodies are successful in their suit against the Barber estate the money will be on hand in McHenry county to secure the payment of any judgment that may be recovered, either in the circuit court, county court or supreme court. This action on the pari/ ul Judge., Smiley is very highly commendable. ' LECTURE WELL ATTENDED The lecture by John Z.

Now if McHenry goeedry our efctWWi of landing the National Young Wom­ en's Christian association encampment will be exceptionally bright. We were told by uev. Tnos.

From the conversation that we had with Rev. Quayle we are led to believe that these institutions woutil bring thousands of the most desirable Chicagoans to our midst annually. Just think what this would mean to McHenry and Fox river. It would eventually xp»ke this the leading sapp- mer resort of the central west. Mm mM WV! TOsS*;;;:;
