The Plaindealer is in receipt of a letter from Thomas Bullock, Chicago, stating that it, is a sad . .sight to see so many beautiful trees dying in our town for the need of a spraying and says it is certainly no credit to the officials here to allow it when a few dollars spent would cure the scale. He suggests that it would be a good investiment if the money procured from one saloon license was set aside as a fund to take care of the trees each year. Joe Sutton is now assisting Cashier C. W. Stenger at the West McHenry state bank. Miss Julia Stoffel is taking a forced vacation due to ill health. Mrs. J. J.
