' TO:MORROW, as perhaps you are aware, wiH be the Fourth of July, and McHenry is to have one of those good old-fashion- ed celebrations. From what we hear, thousands of people from the near by and distant places will be here on that da)r^ Now when the show commences let e^pfebody--man, woman and child, rich a^a poor, get down to business and en­ joy themselves and do all they can to make the celebration a grand success. IF. the newspaper man would put [ one-half of the news of all classes, that he learns each week, into his paper, the the people of the town would rise up and proceed to mob the wretch, if he does not put in certain items one/half of the town, wiil call him a coward^and say he was bought; and if he does publish those same items the other half of the town will feue him for everything from libel to breach of promise. The country editor's life is a ggntinual round of pleasure. THE Lantern Drill and Festival, by the Y. P. C. U., in the Park on Thursday evening last, drew out a large crowd and was a highly enjoyable occasion. The drill was something new here and was executed in a manner that done credit to the little girls, engaged and also to those having it in cliarger Atthough the evening was cool tKb Ice Cream, Cake, and Lemonade was readily disposed of and netted something, over $30. It was an occasion long to be remembered with pleasure by those in attendance. MARRIED--At the Methodist Parson- sue, Lake Geneva, Wis., On Wednesday, .lune 26th, 189"), by Rev. J. J. Garvin, Chas. E. Lamp here and Miss Mary L, WeritWorth, both of McHenry. The above couple are well and favora­ bly known here, where they have resided almost their entire lives. The, groom iH the eldest son of the late E. Lamphere, and the bride the eldest daughter of Isaac Wentworth, and one of McHenry's accomplished and popular young ladies. Their host of friends in this and Lake counties tender their congratulations and hestwishes for a long, happy and prosperous life. AN Arkansas editor published the fol­ lowing salutatory in the first issue of his paper; "Our aim, to tell the truth though the heavens take a tumble; our paper, of the people,, for the people, to be paid for by the people; our religion, or­ thodox, with a firm belief in hell for de­ linquent subscribers; our motto, take all in sight and rustle for more; our policy, to love our friends and brimstone our euemies. If thine enemy smite thee on the cheek, smite him with haste and dex­ terity at the but of his most convenient ear. What we advocate: One country, one flag and one wife--at a time. Our object, to live in poinp and oriental splendor. OUR attention has just been called to a very tine picture, taken by McHenry's Photographer, L. E. Bennett, represent­ ing the family burial place of the Stocker family, in Woodland Cemetery, in this village. We do not exaggerate when we say it is one of the finest outdoor pictures we ever saw. Every part is brought out plain and distinct,^ the Monuments, Headstones, Trees and Shrubs standing forth so plain that one would almost think he could walk be­ hind them. Nothing we can say will half do it justice. It must be seen to be aopreciated. If any of our readers want tine photographs or views they can do no better than to call on Mr. Benuett, as he has no superior in the Northwest.
