The one on Sunday was\ much the severest, some of the hail stones measuring four inches in circum­ ference, and in consequence the damage to window glass and shade trees 'waa immense. The German church had a large number of window lights broken, and like damage occurred; to many pri­ vate residences".1 At the residence of Hon. George Gags, in the west part of 'the village, hail stones are said to have been piled on his west porch to the depth of eight inches, many of theni being as large as hen's eggs. Those who were so unfortunate as, to be caught out with teams in many eases took a rapid ride, not from choice but from compulsion, the big imil stones making the horses almost unmanageable. It was a storm the like of which was never seen here be­ fore. Fortunately the fruit and garden vegetables were not far enough advanced to receive any injury. - Insure your property' with S.

"EiTHERJuira town with a vim or just sell out and leave it," says an exchange, "Men who are all the time trying to get out of business or out of town will sever build up either. One or two things muBt be done--run the town for all it's worth, get up steam and keep it up, or quit the whole thing, slideout and let nature take its course. Do you want trade? Bid for it. Do you want business to come to your town? Encourage those who do come. Do you want a prosperous town where people can come who are disposed to make homes? Then do away with, bury from sight, all spite work ; work no more for a few individuals but all work together for a common prosperity. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up your Bleeves and go to work. Don't work with fear and trembling but take it for grant­ ed that^blood will tell. Leave results with themselves; borrow no trouble, but all unite to make it the biggest kind of a city.

DURING the storm on Saturday night the arch over the entrance to the Ger­ man Cemetery was struck by lightnifag and one post splintered quite badly. IF the person who borrowed a Horse Rasp from H. E. Wightman will return the same they will confer a favor on the owner, as he wants to use it. THE Village Board are putting in a res­ ervoir for the purpose of supplying water for sprinkling the streets. The reservoir will be filled from the creek below the dam. - AFTER weeks of waiting this vicinity has been favored with refreshing and copious showers.

We did not learn the amount of the receipts. MRS. HILTON will address the ladies of McHenry on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the City Hall. This meeting is not exclusively for the ladies of the W. C. T. U., but for all ladies and mothers, and the subject will be intensely interesting.

More cottages is what is need- 'ed in McIIenrv, and we are glad to see a commencement in that direction. WE hear of a case of fire at Wauconda which ca,ught from an overturned lamp .where several small children, had been locked in the house, the parents having gone away from home.

This Association is raising funds for a suitable monument to the poet, and they suggest that in the sclrools affld everywhere, upon or before Fllag-itily (June 14) thissubject be suita­ bly recognized. Contributions, however small, are asked for. livery one who loves the flag ought to have some small share in building this monument. The Governor of Maryland has strongly eh- .dorsed the movement. The names of all contributors will be preserved in the crypt of the monument, and published (without amount) in the history of the monument when completed.

TALK up your town : don't run iCQown. If you do not like it leave it, bu^ don't stay here and abuse it. As long as you choose to reside here you are a compon­ ent part of the place and are very foolish to see your qwp disparagement. Talk up your town, write and speak in its praise, and show yourself worthy of your home and friends. SUNDAY evening, May 12th, the regu­ lar monthly temperance meeting will be held at the City" Hall. The address will be made by Mrs. Jessie Brown Hilton, of Evarilton. Mrs. Hilton is State Super­ intendent of the department of Mother's Meetings of the W. C. T.

A LARGE number of the horsemen of the county met in Woodstock, Tuesday of last week and organized the Woodstock Driving Association. They elected the following officers: A. S. Wright, presi­ dent; M. W. Merry, Geo. G. Smith, 0. H. Lincoln, C. E. Cook, H. B. Throop, M. W. Lake, It. VY. Overton and Dorr Thomas, vice presidents; C. F. Dacy, treasurer; Ilobt. Forrest, superintend­ ent; G. B. Richards, secretary, They de­ cided to hold a two.days meeting in that cityJune 26th and 27th. So says the Sentinel. DISCOURAGEMENT sits heavy on the lightest heart says an exchanee. Be careful how you use it. There are cases, where disparagement is necessary, but it is like a poisonous drug, only to be ad­ ministered in minute doses and by prac­ ticed hands, or tongues, rather, and ex­ treme cases. But don't resort to flat­ tery. It is more than liable to turn into hypocrisy, which is merely a form of lying --pure and simple. If your friend is try­ ing to do well, for heaven's sake don't discourage hitn.r If he fails, or stumbles, or atammers, halts,'breaks or falters and does not reach the mark, don't come the "I told you BO" on him; don't discourage him. Don't you dare to do it. Don't be his Jonah. Give him a boos't with a ringing, cheerful, ^arty push the right way, with a good honest lift of encour­ agement. That kind of medicine goes down easily and proves kind. PAINT your buggy for six bits. Call at Besley's and he will tell youhow to do it. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT DULL. The ^Masses, are Quick to Recognize What is to their Interest. People are slow to accept new theories which disturb existing ones, but are quick to recognize practical results. This is illustrated by the way Dr. Weare's investigations and discoveries regarding the heaves in horses was re­ ceived. As long as he argued, all horse­ men denied that heaves could be cured. But when he becan to demonstrate, doubt and controversy gave place to confidence and use. Dr. Weare's Sure Cure for Heaves has been advertised to a considerable extent during the past three months and scores of our farmers have tried the remedy to see what it would do. In every case the result has been satisfactory and these Farmers now own sound and valuable horses where they formelry possessed only wheezy wrecks. "The world do move" and the mass of people know a good thing when they see it. Victory for Snag Proof Rubber Boots The demand was never so great for Stout's Stout's Snag Proof Rubber Boots as it has been this spring. Snag proof rubber boots are taking better than ever.
