This in­ cluded Mr. Owen's entire family except Paul Brown and wife, of Chicago, who were detained on account of sickness, and Miss C. B. Owen, of New York, who was unable to come on account of other engagements. This, wo believe was also the anniversary of the marriage of their daughter, Mrs. C. P. Waite. The dav was very pleasantly spent, a bounteous repast was served and all went to their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Owen many more anniversaries under equally as pleasant circumstances. ATTENTION. The annual meeting of the McHenry County Agricultural Board will be held on Monday the 6th day of December, 1897 at the the hour of 10:30 a. in., sharp, at the Court House in the City of Woodstock, 111., for the purpose of elect­ ing a President, Secretary, Treasurer, General Superintendent, Executive Con^ mittee and for the transaction of other important business.

Goodman, at the east end of John.St. in" this village. In 1894 Prof. Goodman purchased of the E. M. Owen estate five acres oi land in the beautiful grove, oh the banks of Fox Rirer at the east end of what, is •now •suown as John Street. On this he erected a handsome and commodious' residence, finished and furnished it with all the modern inprovements, and it is now as near an ideal home -as one can imag­ ine. The plans were entirely his own and for convenience and substantiality it would bt! hard to beat. The Basement is divided into three departments, the middle room containing the heating ap­ paratus, consisting of the Furnace, engine, etc., the house being heated by the hot water system. In this room is also the laundry, shelves for canned goods, and other articles that need a dry warm place in winter, and corres pondingly cool in summer. On the right of this as you enter is a room for plants in winter and on the left the coal and wobd cellar. • \ On going from the basement you land in a large, roomy kitchen, in which is a hard wood tloor and all the conveniences necessary for this most important room. Too many make a, mistake in making- this part of their residence small, dark- aud gloomyj but Prof. Goodman evidently had this fact in mind and escaped the common error. Off from this room is also a large and well lighted Pantry, which is furnished with drawers and shelving and all the modern conveniences. Next to this comes the Dining Room which is tastily aud conveniently ar­ ranged so as to connect with that other important part of a residence from which to supply the wants of the iuner man naturally comes the Kitchen and Pantry Opening from this ie the Sitting Room which the Professor uses for his study or reiding room. This room and the Par­ lor adjoining, which are connected by large open or folding doors, are finished' alike, each containing a very handsome mantel, and the walls being ornamented with beautiful Oil Paintings, which are all the work of Prof. Goodman himself, he being an artist of no mean merit, as the specimens there to be seen, as also many more in his studio up stairs, will amply testify. The second story, in which are the sleeping rooms, we find five large and well lighted rooms, e$ch with a closet that is also lighted by a window, and not the dark and uninviting places usually called closets. From each of these sleeping rooms fine views can be obtained of the village, Fox River and the surrounding country. The Bath room, like every other room in the house, is large, light and convenient and contains all the modern improve­ ments. The walls are all hard finish, high and as we said before the wood­ work is oi uniform style throughout, presenting a neat and handsome appear­ ance. In short the building from base­ ment to attic is what we call perfection itself, and no description we can give it will half do it justice. It is an ideal country residence, and such a one as is seldom found outside the large cities. The grounds around this model resi­ dence are yearly being improved, and as now laid out, present an appear­ ance in summer that is admired by all. Before we came away we had the pleas­ ure of visiting his Studio, or as he more familiary calls it his "Den". This is a large room in the Attic, in which can be found all of his Scientific apparatus Indian and other relics, Oil Paintings in all stages of finish from mere drafts to complete pictures, and many other things which we snail not attempt to mention, but all of real interest. We spent a couple of hours very pleasantly with the Professor and his estimable wife, and came away feeling that it was time well spent. THE WOODMEN'S DANCE. The Thanksgiving Party under the auspices of the Modern Woodman, at Stoffel's New Hall, on Thursday evening last, was, notwithstanding the unfavor­ able weather, one of the.most, successful, financially and otherwise. One hundred and thirty-five numbers were sold, and we verily believe that bad the weather been favorable the number would have been doubled. The management left nothing undone that would tend to the pleasure or comfort of their guests, and we hear nothing but words of praise on all sides. The Music by Clark & Cole's Orchestra is pronounced as fine as any ever heard here, and the supper given by Mrs. Dermont, as all knew it would be, was one that could not be excelled. The dancing public are loud in their praise of this party, which augurs well for any future gatherings of this kind that may be gotten up by the M. W. A. We under­ stand they contemplate getting up another about New Years, and if they do they are sure of a large crowd. The following are among those who were present from adjoining towns: "Richmond.--W P Stevens, H F Greelv, Nunda.--Ren Raue, W B Wilbur, Frank Palmer, H F' Senne, A J Thompson, 8 M Bald wiu, W L Conover.

DIED --At his home in this village, on Thursday evening, Nov. 25th, 1897, WILLIAM J. MCLEOD, in the 50th year of his age. It seldom falls to our lot to peiform a more painful duty than the one now be­ fore us.' The subject, of the above notice has been intimately associated with the writer hereof most of the time for the past thirty-five years, fourteen years of which he has been a faithful aud trusted employee, and the balance through a regular and friendly correspondence. From the time be came to us as a boy of fourteen we had looked upon hini almost as a brother. He was well educated, a man of more than ordinary ability, loyal and true to his friends, and no man could truthfully say that he intentionally done a wrong to anyone. True, in later years he had one fault (and who of us can say that we have not, of One kind or another) and that fault finally became a disease, Against which he fought desperately to the last. He was able tp be around un­ til about five days before his death, although his friends could see that he was slowly but surely failing. His wife and daughter, who were spending the winter in New York state, were tele­ graphed to and hastened home, but did not arrive uutil alter he had passed away. ' . •; \ . ' .: " W. J. McLeod was amative of Scotland but came to Canada early in life, and was brought up by bis grandfather, iu that country. Later he became' a resi­ dent of New York state, and when only 15 years of age he enlisted in the Union army, and fought gallantly through the war of the rebellion. He learned the trade of a printer, and became a master of the art in all its branches. He showed marvelous skill as a job printer, and his work was artistic aud beautiful, and won for him widespread fame. He was a genius in his liije, and was ever pro­ ducing now and striking effects. He first located in this country at Canton, N. Y., and when the writer came west in 1868 he went to Johnstown N. Y., where he remained until 1875 when he went to Amsterdam, in that state, and became foreman of the Amsterdam Democrat. He remained on the Democrat until 1880 when he became foreman of the Amster­ dam Recorder and . continued in that positiou until 1890 when he removed to McHenry, where the remainder of his life was passed, being foreman of this office. The Amsterdam N. Y. Democrat in speaking of his death, says: "During his residence in Amsterdam, Mr. McLeod held a prominent place in the comniuri- ity He was a leading member of the J. D. Serviss steamer company, was it- foreman for several years and manager of its famous running team. He was chosen chief of the Amsterdam fire de­ partment in 18S8, and served very efficiently in that position. He took high rank in the Masonic fraternity, and was also a member of the Knights of Pythias and Grand Army of the Republic. He was well informed in public affairs, and was a skillful parliamentarian and an earnest debater, and wielded great in­ fluence in public meetings of all kinds. He was an indefatigable worker, and was devoted to his profession, in which he took a just pride. He possessed dauut- less courage, and was unyielding in his support of what he believed to be riiiht. His genial nature and kindly heart won for him a host of warm friends in this city, who will learn of his death with sincere regret. He is survived by his widow and one daughter ,Miss Ethel." These well merited words of praise come from those who knew him well, and to know him an we have is to honor and respect his memory. His bereaved widow and daughter have the heartfelt sym­ pathy of all. His funeral was held from the Univer­ salist Church on Sunday forenoon, Rev. J. Straub, officiating, and was attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends, and bis remains were laid at rest in Woodland Cemetery. In behalf of Mrs. McLeod and daughter we would thank all those who by their aid an sympathy assisted them in their hour of trial. And especially to those who furnishetj the beautiful and appro­ priate singing during the services a.t the Church are they extremely thankful. Special Assessment Notice.

When campaign badges were made of American tin in 1892 the free trade press was loud in the snarl that it. took all the American made tin to make the badges. Now that we have sixty- niue tin plants doing a business of $20,- 000,000 a year, the professors and .car­ toonists are alike quiet. The great lesson is that all ulong the workingraan never had to pay a cent more for his dinner pail.
