The Johnsburg Catholic order of Foresters will hold Its annual winter festival here on Wednesday eveninp, Oct. 9, and the committee having the event in hand promises to make the event one of the most enjoyable ever held here. In former years this an­ nual event took place during the win­ ter months, but owing to the fact that the severe weather has kept many from attending in the past two years it was decided to hold same earlier this year, with the result that the above date was decided upon. Be­ sides, the members of the court de­ cided that a farewell party for some of the members who are •> sure to answer the call to colors within the next few weeks would not be unappro- priate and therefore the two, events will be combined and held on one and the same evening. The Johnsburg court has . extended invitations to members of the McHenry court, both men's and ladies' courts, as well as those of Volo to be their guests on that evening. A fine program »is now being arranged and ntusic wlil be pro­ vided and it is the intention of our court to make this a memorable event. The committee is making arrange­ ments to entertain one of the biggest crowds that ever gathered, in Johns­ burg. Only Foresters may attend. No invitation^ will be is^rad out of the order. , i.I i.i riii[frin*fr',y • VOLO Wnj. Ruthford was a Wauconda vis­ itor Sunday. Miss Ella Moore spent the past week in Wauconda. E.
