McHenry was again "bone dry" last Sunday, thus giving the proprietors of the different saloons an opportunity to attend church services or go fish­ ing. The order for a dry Sunday was issued by Mayor Chamberlin some time during the week and from the tone of the letter sent out one would judge that our mayor means business. The children of the Volo parochial school held their annual entertainment at the Central opera house here last evening. The people of Volo turned out in goodly numbers, while a num­ ber of our residents also were present. The entertainment, we are told, was a credit to the children as well as the sisters of the school, who instructed them.
