Miss Kate Howe is spending a few days visiting the kindergarten school in Chicago this week. We learn that Mat. Heimer of Johnsburg celebrated the killing of his first wild goose by -a big dinner on Monday last. ^ Died--At her residence in this vil­ lage, on- Friday evening, March^ 27, 1891, suddenly, Mrs. Ella Noonan, aged eighty years. " There is said to be a woman in this town who has not missed lighting a fire in forty-five years. Her husband is probabl^Cthe oldest fire escape on record. Died--In* Johnsburg on Tuesday morning, March 31, 1891, Martin Bugner, aged about forty years. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. „ We leani that sixty-six couples at­ tended the Easter party at the River­ side House o*h Monday evening. Con­ sidering the state of the roads, this is a good showing. C. M. Wright, who is with Marshall Field & Co/in Chicago, son of Robt. Wright of this village, sailed from New York for Liverpool on Saturday last. He goes in the interest of the firm.

A Deed to a Piece of Land EVERYONE KNOWS that to pass title to reates-tate there must be an instrument of writing--a deed. Familiar as we are with certain legal forms, such as receipts, accounts and the like, we may think we know all about a deed, too. On the contrary, the average person's knowledge of a deed of conveyance is about as superficial dnd vague as his knowledge of a typewriter. A child knows a typewriter by sight, but how few grown men can use it intelligently and accurately, or explain to you its parts! Then how can you safety assume that your deed is in proper form and good when put to the test of law? McHenry County x Ab^lradt Co. WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS O f f i c e r s F. F. AXTF.LL, President L. E.
