Walsh WIN ANOTHER FAST ONE Town Team Is Given a Scare By Ar- • lington Heights With a patched-up line-up the Mc­ Henry town team was given auite a scare at the local gym last SSturday night, whent the Arlington Heights team was here to try for honors with them. The visitors proved a fine team, but, in spite of the fact that the locals were somewhat crippled by the ab­ sence of some of the regulars from the line-up, they weren't good enough to carry home the bacon. Robison, at left forward for the home squad, put up his usual fast game and once more came in for a large portion of the honors of the occasion, while "Boley" Miller was also there with his usual amount of "pep." Groom and Albert Justen took the places of the regulars who could not, for various reasons, per-, form on this occasion, and each one did his share towards bringing the evening's honors to McHenry. Hunter also played good ball and is worthy of special mention for the part he took in the victory. The visitors ! displayed some good basket ball and at times threatened to come out on top, but just about the time it looked as if the visitors were going to cop the game, along came Robison or Miller with another ringer pm! thus tliegame aided with Mc­ Henry leading the procession by a count of 30 to 21.

Mr. Campbell and family, who for the past year have lived on the Mar­ tin farm, have not as yet found a suitable farm to rent, the Martin farm having been sold and the pur­ chaser is coming on March 1. A strange rumor was circulated around over in the west part of this precinct recently It was first re­ ported that some of Mr. Cornwell's family were very dangerously ill. Then the next report was that Mr. Cornwell had passed away. Upon calling up at the home we were in­ formed that the entire family was well and no signs of sickness for some time. Also that Mr. Cornwell was very much alive and rejoicing over his new son. There was a very pretty wedding in our neighborhood Feb. 14, when Miss Jennie Cornwell, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Cornwell, be- citme the wife of Paul Sommers. The birde has lived here several years and is highly respected. Mr. Sommers certainly made a wise chdice. The groom is a stranger to the writer, never having had the pleasure of meeting him, but we are confident he must be about the right kind or he could never have gained the respect of the family where he made his choice. The young couple have gone on a short trip to visit his parents and some relatives in Wisconsin. After their return will settle ett S farm near Greenwood.
