These consists of eight rooms all finished and furnished in mod­ ern style, and not surpassed by any residence in the village.

MEMORIAL DAY IN MoHERNY, The Memorial Exercises in McHenry were of the most interesting character, and notwithstanding there were some disappointments in regard to speaker, music, etc., everything passed off very pleasantly and to the entire satisfaction of the large crowd in attendance. Judge Gilmore was unable to be present on account of sickness, but just why the baud failed to put in an appearance we have not been informed. But notwith­ standing all this Commander Mead, who is always full of resources on occasions like this, carried the programme out in full, the music being furnished by the Scott fauiily in the most satisfactory manner, while home talent rendered the balance of the programme. The exercises were advertised for the City Hall, but it was eaily demonstrated that it would not hold half the crowd, and therefore an adjournment was made to the Park where the exercises were held. After prayer by Rev. J. R. Clark, and singing by the Scott family, there were appropriate and patriotic recitations by misses Ebie Howe, Jennie Smith, Iva Mead and Mr. Frank Bennett, besides a piece by four little girls. Each done so well that we refrain from particularizing. They were simply fine and were highly appreciated by the large audience in attendance. Hon. F. K. Granger was then intro­ duced who made a few appropriate and well timed remarks, which closed the ex­ ercises at the park. The crowd then ad­ journed to the cemetery where the school children, ,under the direction of McHenry Post, G. A. R., decorated the graves of the soldier dead with their usual solemn and impressive ceremony, which closed the exercises of the day. Memorial Day in McHenry for the year 1898 will long be remembered with pleasure by all who were in attendance. Hotel Arrivals.

MEMORIAL DAY AT VOLO- The Old Soldiers, of Waucopda, Volo and McHenry, met at Volo and decorat­ ed the graves of their fellow comrades, after which they marched to the Church and listened to a fine programme by the children, and a discourse by Rev. M. Dunton, his Theme "Our Flag." H. C. Maad, of McHenry, was called upon and responded with some timeily remarks upon Memorial Day. The citizens turned outenmass and pined upon the lapel of the coat of each old soldier a nice little boquet which had been arranged with loving hauds. A large bunch of flowers was also furnished to each old soldier to place upon the graves of their comrades. The children were also laden with flowers for the unknown dead. Everybody did what they could to help the old soldiers in decorating the graves of their fallen comrades. Patriotism is not laking in Volo. AN EYE WITVESS.

I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being commend ed to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, know­ ing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratify­ ing results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has ab­ solutely cured me. 1 have not had as good health for twenty years. Re­ spectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Clare- more, Ark.
