Johnsburg has more empty houses this winter than has been the case here in many years. Death1 of old people and the moving away of others is the cause. , •Peter Freund is seriously ill at the home of his father in this village. He has not been well all winter, but his many friends here hope that he may soon recover. We have been corrected since last week and those in a position to know state that our roads aren't near as bad as in some localities, especially the streets in McHenry. Don't forget the dance at Smith's hall here on Friday evening of this week. This will be the last oppor­ tunity that you will have to enjoy "Stubby's"' hospitality until Easter Monday. The same music and the same good time are assured. Mrs. Jos. Schaefer, who underwent quite a serious operation last winter, is again quite ill at her home here.

Johnsburg now boasts of ji court of Lady Foresters, St. Agatha court, No. 777, being instituted here on Wed­ nesday afternoon of this week, at which time thirty-three members, which constitute the charter, were in­ itiated into the order. The work was performed by St. Clara's team of the McHenry court and, to say the least, the McHenry ladies did themselves proud on this occasion. The work, according to those present, was put on with precision and expressiveness very rarely seen in the smaller com­ munities. At the conclusion of the initiation all present sat down to an elaborate banquet, during which pointed talks were given by Rev. Wm. Weber, pastor of St. John's church of this place; also Misses Walsh and Downing of Chicago, who have been in the vicinity in the interest of the Forester court for some time past. A number of the members who were initiated during the afternoon as well as visiting Foresters were called upon, for impromptu talks, all of which as­ sisted greatly in making the event the success that it turned out to be. In the evening a dance was enjoyed at the parish hall and just before the music started the drill team of Mc­ Henry put on an exhibition that was thoroly enjoyed by everyone present. The dance, which was a' public affair, was attended by nearly seventy couples and everyone present had a fine time. Since the organization of the new court the members have been most enthusiastic over the work and much good that will be the natural outcome of the court here and already new members are being solicited. The aim of the ladies is to make St. Agatha's Court one of the strongest in this section and it is the hope that within a year the membership will be doubled. Many social events are also planned, which undoubtedly will be held at intervals durinpr the year.
