Nott, who during the past simmer has conducted the East Side neat market on Water street, has dis­ posed of the business to Jos. Leickem and gone to Lake Geneva, Wis., where he has leased the Hague & Bucknell market in that city. The two busi­ ness deals were closed the latter part of last week, the changes going into •effect Monday, morning. Mr. Nott, daring his stay in McHenry, made many friends here, who wish him suc- ,• eesa in his new field of labors. The meat business is not new to Mr. Leickem, who thus assumes the re­ sponsibility of the East Side market, as he has been engaged in the same business and at the same stand once before. His friends wish him suc- esss. In speaking of the change at Lake Geneva the NeWs of that city pots it as follows: "Mr. Nott comes highly recommended. He has had ten years' successful experience in the jnarket business and as he is going i*to a well established business here ftfs success should be assured."

Reser General Superintendent Harvard Herald: "From a division superintendent of the western route superintendency to that of general factories of the Borden Condensed Milk company is a promotion given H. M. Reser of this city, the place becoming effective on Oct. 15. The promotion means "that Mr. Reser must be in Chicago every day, looking after the details of his new post of responsibility at the Borden office headquarters in the central west, but he will continue to make Harvard his home, making daily trips to and from the city.' Naturally the promotion carries with it added >1responsibilities and an increase -in salary, which means that Mr. Reser is thoroly ap­ preciated by those in authority in the big enterprise of the Borden com­ pany."

Feds Again Victorious In a bitterly fought eleven-inning contest, the McHenry Feds again de­ feated the Irish Prairie aggregation of ball tossers 4 to 3 on the McHenry diamond last Sunday afternoon be­ fore a very respectable looking crowd of rooters. "Kelly" Conway did the twirling for the visitors, while "Hip­ po" Rossman graced the mound for the home lads. Both pitchers per­ formed well, Conway showing up espe­ cially strong in pinches. In one in­ ning he had the bases choked, but worked himself out of the difficulty without allowing a man to score. From a spectator's point of view the game was an interesting one to watch, the good plays as well as those of the ivory" variety being vigorously ap­ plauded by the backers of the two teams.

The aborigines report many other signs, it is stated, which forecast a severe winter. The Indians themselves are making unusual prep­ arations, storing up a surplus of food and fuel for the first time in years and advising the whites to do likewise. But there is little for the white man to do that he does not do every season, he having been schooled thru generations of experience to have care for the morrow at all times.
