A few froiri this place attended the play at the McHenry opera house last Sunday evening. The ball games at McHenry will be called pronjptly at 2:30 o'clock in the future, This will give those from here an opportunity to witness the contests and get back to their homes in time for the evening work. The farmers in this locality are the busiest people in the land. Now that ® rasns have let up "for swhiic) at least, the tillers of the soil are mak­ ing up for lost time and from pres­ ent indications the crops will not' be so bad after all. Wm. Althoff Has had his old barn torn down and let a contract for the building of a new one to take its place. John Mertes, the local car­ penter and contractor, has been giv en the contract and he expects to be gin work on same some timg^ next week. / T^g/fohnsburgh bridge was closed to traffic from Thursday until Sat urday of last week, during which time one of the abutments was re paired. The bridge has also been re­ painted and will be replanked and otherwise strengthened and proved. The closing of the bridge here the latter part of last week made a big difference in the automobile traffic thru this place. Our people do not realize the traffic that goes thru here in the summer months until an occa sion of this sort, when it is suddenly taken away from us. All of the lots in the May addition on Fox river have been sold. Most of the owners are improving them with new Komes, trees and shrub­ bery. The shore at this point is just dandy, while the lots all lay high and dry, making them most susceptible for summer resort purposes. Workmen have been here repair­ ing the windows in the church in preparation for the coming winter. The windows have been in bad shape for some time past. They have all been repacked and tightened up, which will make considerable differ­ ence in the heating of the place in the future. The ladies of the. parish will give a basket and ice cream social at par­ ish hall here next Sunday afternoon and evening, the proceeds of which will go into the church treasury. The ladies are working hard to make the event a success and a fine time is in store for those who attend. A hearty invitation is extended to everyone to be present. The new home being erected by Henry T&nyan, on his farm on the east side of Pistakee bay, is fast nearing completion and will be one of the most complete farm buildings in this vicinity. The house will have all the modern conveniences, includ­ ing a heating system, and will cost about $3,000. John Mertes of this place has the building contract and le and his men are hurtling the work along as best they can. A little six-year-old boy, by the name of Johns, met with a very pain­ ful accident on the May farm near here last Friday forenoon. The lit­ tle .fellow, whose parents own and oc­ cupy a summer home in May avenue on Fog river, was crossing the hay field on the May farm, where Mr. May was engaged in mowing hay. The youngster, while passing the team of horses, spied a large fly on one of the horse's backs and rushed up to swat the common carrier of germs. No sooner had he made the swat before he felt his feet entan­ gled in the cutters of the machine, with the result that the lower part of his left foot was quite badly cut and mangled. Dr. A. Mueller was rushed to the scene of the accident and dressed the wound. The boy was then taken to Crystal Lake, where he was loaded onto a train and taken to the West Side hospital in Chicago. At first it was thought that it would be necessary to remove the foot, but after a more careful examination it was found that the member could be saved. While the accident to the lad is regretted by our people as well as the owner of the farm, the young­ ster was indeed fortunate in escap­ ing without the loss of one if not possibly both feet.
