"c;; at St. Biary'a Cliureh Veil ' • •">' f •V - • 1 A wedding of more than ordinary importance and the prettiest of the season was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church in this village at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, Oct. 4, when Miss Christina Mary Freund became the wife of Ben Kennebeck. The impressive ceremony was per­ formed by Rev. Edward Berthold, pas­ tor of thg Church, nuptial high .mass being celebrated. The bride was handsomely gowned in white satin charmuese and Georg­ ette crepe and wore the customary veil. She carried a pearl rosary and white prayer book. v The bridesmaids were Miss Helen Freund, sister of the bride, and Miss Tillie Stilling, cousin of the groom. They wore nile green satin messaline and carried pink and white carnations. The groom was attended by John Kennebeck, brother of the groom, and John Freund, brother of the bride. Little Marcella Kennebeck, sister of the groom, was the flower girl and wore white silk eolienne trimmed with oriental lace and carried roses. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Freund. She was born in the vicinity of Johnsburg, where she lived until her parents came to reside on the old Wheeler farm about ten years ago, and where she has made her home up to the pres­ ent time. She wins all acquaintances around her large circle of friends. The groom is the oldest son of Mrs. Henry Kennebeck and has alwyas re­ sided on a farm near McHenry, where he is well known and respected. A reception was given them at the home of the bride's parents and the wedding dance was 'held at Smith's hall, Johnsburg. Many beautiful gifts were left as tokens of esteem. The couple will make their home with the groom's mother until March 1, when they will conduct the farm at the old homestead, while his mother will move into the new house now being erected on the farm some distance west of tiie homestead.

' LECTURE ON COLUMBUS To Be Given Under Auspices of Lical """• .p- Ceuncil, K. ef The lecture on Columbus Thurs­ day evening, Oct 12, under the auspices of the local council, K. of C., promises to be especially good ac­ cording to the following' quotation taken from The Columbian: "Over a year ago the director of the Jeanne d'Arc club began work upon a plan that approaches as near as possible to the idea of a Columbus gallery. He has collected copies of the best works of art on this subject in this country and Europe, with a view to an illustrated lecture that would portray as perfectly as possi­ ble the whole life of Columbug and his influence in the world down to the present time. The undertaking, tho difficult, has succeeded beyond all ex­ pectations, and experts on the subject of stereopticon views declare that the club now possesses the most complete and perfect set of slides on the sub­ ject that has ever been gotten to­ gether." The Central opera house has been engaged for the occasion and not only the Knights, of Columbus, but the general public will have an opportu­ nity to hear the story of the great discoverer told by the best lecturer of the Jeanne D'Arc club of Chica­ go, Mr. Jas. Fitzgerald of Loyola University. The Columbian has the foll6wing concerning Mr. Fitzgerald: "Mr. James Fitzgerald, one of the most brilliant writers and orators ever graduated by Loyola University and at present secretary of the Loy­ ola School of Sociology, tells the story of Columbus' life With a dram­ atic interest and intensity that is both instructive apd inspiring. The whole combination constitutes an ar­ tistic and intellectual treat that the Chicago Knights have been quick to appreciate and avail themselves of." l̂ yHAT LINE IS SOLD New Oimers Took Charge «f This Morning F. C. Feitfc, who during the past seyeral years "has successfully con­ ducted a dray and transfer line in this village, has sold out, the purchasers being Frank «J.< and John E. Freund, who took possession of the business this morning. In the future the business will be conducted under the firm name of Freund Bros., and, as both of these gentlemen have resided in McHenry and vicinity practically all of their lives, , they need no introduction to the people of McHenry. Frank, dur­ ing the past few years, has worked the Buch farm a short distance north of town, while John E., until a short time ago, was engaged in the cigar manufacturing business here. Mr. Feltz, who retires from a bus­ iness which he has seen grow from almost nothing to one of the biggest and most substantial in McHenry, ex­ pects to devote his entire time to his small farm, situated on the south outskirts of the village. During the years that he has been in the harness Mr. Feltz has served his patrons most faithfully and no one will deny him the well earned refet that he has thus decided to take.

MILK PRODUCERS BANQUET CELEBRATED THEIR; RECENT VICTORY LAST NIGHT Seventy-five Members of Dairymen's Association, With Their Wives an! Business Men, Are Present Seventy-five members of the Local Dairymen's association, with their wives and many of Jthe business men and their Wives, were seated at the table in the McHenry House last night to* banquet together in recognition of the farmers' victory offer the big milk concerns in the Chicago dairy district It might well be termed a communi­ ty banquet faultlessly and bountifully served by Mrs. J. C. Bickler and her able Assistants and the words of praise from all who attended and the savory chicken dinner were equal. When the last course was finished those Who were served on the spa­ cious porch assembled with those in­ side and took their seats in the inner banquet hall. Walter J. Walsh, as chairman, an­ nounced that V. S. Lumley would not be present for reasons too vague to be comprehended. W. J. Kittle, sec­ retary of the association, who keeps his promise to sense and sound, was present and gave one of the broadest and most Instructive speeches to which his listeners ever lent an ear, taking for his slogan "IT CAN BE DONE." He stated facts and figure? concern­ ing the last demand and going hack a few years related victories unknown to many of those whom we considered well posted on the milk question and one could not but feel that this vic­ tory was a delayed justice to them. Corporations sneered when the farmers set out for justice, but they no longer sneer, for they have jnade champions of themselves thru organ­ ization and by the co-operation of bankers and business men, as was shown by the progressive speeches made by all of < our business men on last evening. For the benefit of those who did not attend we v^sh that we might quote Mr. Kittle verbatim, but as an officer representing a district conipnsing twenty-two counties with a member­ ship of better than 11000 members, McHenry county in the lead, he ad­ vised the farmers not to pose as heroes, but to take care of what they had, never forgetting the fact that they were members arjd that co-op­ eration was the watchword if they wished to hold Chicago as the great center for the market of their produce from 375,000, cows. It was an event long to be re­ membered and we regret exceedingly that special' mention could not be made at this late hour of the speeches made by each of our progressive bus­ iness men, who are with the farmer in his fight for better McHenry. McHENRY LOSES AT ELGIN Local Football Team Drops Initial I*Contest In Watch Qty ̂ * "The McHenry high school football team journeyed to Elgin last Satur­ day, where they staged their initial contest of the season, losing to the light-weights pf the Elgin high school by a score of 22 to 6. Ia view of the fact that football material at the local institution of learning is very limited this year, Coach Dorr feels that the showing made was very gratifying, especially against a large school like that of Elgin. Most of the members of this year's squad are inexperienced and very light, but the boys are game, and so long as they have shown a willingness to go in and do the very best that there is in them Coach Dorr does not wish to discourage them and will give the youngsters the very best in the way of training Whilfe the popular coach does not look for his squad to make much of a showing this year, he hopes that with the experience gained during the pres­ ent season he will have pretty fair material for next year's team.
