Rev. M. Mc- JSvoy, who has had considerable ex­ perience in work of this sort, was present at the meeting and expressed his willingness to direct a society of this sort, provided a sufficient num­ ber of singers of this village and vi­ cinity would interest themselves suf­ ficiently to become members. Eigh­ teen were present at the meeting on Monday evening, all of whom seemed very much interested. However, it will take considerably more than that to form the sort of a society Rev. McEvoy has in mind. The pastor is not discouraged and believes that the desired number may be obtained. McHenry has more musical talent than any other town of its size around here and there should be no reason for not organizing a choral society hero. A number of prospective mem- berk have been under the impression that the society is to be composed of singers from the two Catholic churches in this village, but this is not the case, as the pastor of St. Pat­ rick's church is desirous of having all of the singers of the village join, re­ gardless of their religious obligations. Will Address Knighta torn- P. Flynn, vice supreme master of the fourth degree, Marquette prov­ ince, Chicago, will address the Mc­ Henry Knights of , Columbus at the-K. of C. hall this Thursday evening.. His subject wil|<: ^e "Future . K; - of . C." Every member; of the McHenry-. coun­ cil is urgently requested to be .pres­ ent,* as Mr. Flynn's address will be well worth hearing. Mr. Flynn has a summer home at Pistakee Bay, where he and his estimable family have spent the past few' summers. Thru his visits to his summer home he has met quite a number of the local Knights.

Albert Etten, a former rural resi­ dent of McHenry, and now located at Dawson, N. D., has written friends in McHenry to Ae effect that he has just'harvested the largest crop since going west. From 200 acres he threshed 6000 bushels of wheat. From fifty-five acres of land, which was planted in corn last year, he harvest­ ed fifty-three bushels to the acre. At the present time wheat is bringing 85 cents per bushel out there. He al­ so threshed 2300 bushels of oats and still has seventy acres of flax to thresh. The flax, he believes, will go twenty bushels to the acfle. At the time of writing the letter, he states, he was busy filling his silo. He and his family are now living in their new home, they having lost their first house by fire early last spring. Looking For Golf Grounds We are informed that the members of the Pistakee Yacht club are very anxious to introduce golf at Pistakee Bay next season and that a commit­ tee is now out looking for a suitable location. Jacob R. Justen, who owns considerable land near Pistakee Bay, has received an offer for a forty-acre tract, but has not given the Chicago- ans a definite reply. Golf is becom­ ing more popular every year and, in view of the fact that many of the Chi- cagoans who spend their summer months at Pistakee are lovers of the sport, we wouldn't be at all surprised to see a deal far the purchase of th^ grounds go thru at any time. • 1 ' Have Nice Time at Danee^ The dance, given under the auspices of the Fox River Valley camp, R..N.

Mrs. Henrietta Guerin Mrs. Henrietta Guerin, who for many years was a resident of this vi­ cinity and McHenry county, passed away at the city hospital at Jackson, Mich.,, on Monday of this week, Oct 4, 1915. Mrs. Guerin left McHenry for Fran cisco, Mich., on June 5 of this year, she going north with the intention of making a few months' visit with rela tives. During the fore part of August she was taken seriously ill and in order to "give her the very best of care she was later removed to the hos­ pital, where she passed away. The deceased was born at Lima, Washington county, Mich., on April 16, 1841, she being 74 years, 6 months and 18 days of age at the time of her death. In 1862 she was united in marriage to Charles A. Guerin. They made their home at Lima until the year of 1888, when, with their only daughter, they moved to Illinois. Mrs. Guerin lived in this vicinity many years and was well known and highly esteemed. Her daughter, Mrs. W. E. Whiting, passed away January 17, 1915, and Mr. Guertn died on Jan. 18, 1914. She was a woman of fine character, quiet and retiring in her ways, and was highly respected by those who knew her best She was formerly a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in Michigan. She is survived by throe grandchil dren, Norma, Charles, and Eva Whit­ ing, and one sister, who resides in Denver, Colo. Her body was shipped to this vil­ lage and the funeral services took place from the Methodist Episcopal church here at two o'clock on Wed­ nesday afternoon. The Rev. T. A. Brewster, D. D., of Crystal Lake per­ formed the last sad rites. Interment was made in the family lot in Wood­ land cemetery.

One Thousand Row Boats The E. Hunter Boat company of this village has just closed a contract with Sears, Roebuck ft Co. for one thousand row boats, to be ready for delivery by April 1. In speaking to Mr. Hunter regarding the large order we were informed that the factory is well equipped to take care of same and that the boats will be ready for shipment at the time specified in the contract This is the largest individ­ ual row boat order ever received by the local concern, altho shipments have been made to a number of the larger mercantile houses in Chicago since last spring. The boat company has enjoyed one of the best years in the history of the concern and. pres­ ent prospects are that business will continue to increase as the years go by, as the Hunter Quality boats have found their way from coast to coast and from the Canadian line to the Gulf of Mexico. . May Have New Lighting System McHenry may be given a better lighting system some time in the near future. Mr. Stephens of Crystal Lake, representative of the Public Service company, appeared before the village board on Tuesday evening and talked at some length regarding the merits of a new system that is now in use in most of the surrounding towns. The village board, we are told, may decide to make the change.

When the floor walker approached the man to aak him if he had lost something he was much surprised to hear the gentle­ man say he had lost his wife. The floor walker, very anxious to do any­ thing for a customer, asked him to de­ scribe her (thinking perhaps he could aid in the search). This is what he said: "She's a sort of a limousine, with a heavy tread and usually runs around on low." ITEMS OF LOCAL UTERES!

Hunters should not forget that most farmers in this locality prohibit hunt­ ing and trespassing on their prem­ ises. Every precaution against the spreading of the hoof and mouth dis­ ease is being taken by our rural res­ idents and we believe that they mean it when they say that they will not ; allow hunting or trespassing on farms. t Yes, a mistake two occurred in "1 last week's issue of The Plaindealer 1 | and there are probably several in to- ^ day's publication.
