SATURDAY last was a busy day with our merchants. A stroll around town in the afternoon revealed the fact that our stores were all full and every clerk was busy waiting on customers. We venture the assertion that there is not a town in Mcllenry county that is doing as much business in the mercantile line as Mcllenry. The reason for this is Apparent. They all keep large stocks of goods, sell reasonable and are liberal Advertisers. "DE pure an' andeffled Migion,** says the Rev. Plato Johnson. "Is always to be foun' in a man's pocket.

The proposition is to unite the two Districts, build a three story building between th» two villages worth about #15,0(10, and establish a 'Graded School. Petitions have been circulated to that eftert and been al­ most universally signed by tlie resi­ dents of both Districts, and the matter is now assured almost to a certainty. This is a move in the right direction aud should receive the encouragement of every citizen iu these two Districts^ Willi a good Graded School, and a Bo ird of Directors composed of tneu who are interested in the gooil work, they can establish a school that will be an honor to themselves and the county. We hope before our next Isvue to be able to announce that the matter lias been definitely settled and that the work will immediately uomtience. Too uiuoh attention cannot b? paid to school matters, and when a project of this kind, looking to the Improvement of our county schools, is brought up. it should receive the encouragement aud support of all good citizens. • EDITOR I'I.AINDKAI.'KKPermit me through your valuable columns to thank ronr Woodstock scribe for the many favorable mentioning* of my maoiier of fair dealing with my numerous pat­ rons. as lie is not only doing me a great favor by speaking a word of encourages men* to tho«e who are already on my list of Insurance, as well ai to othera who soon expect to be placed on the same fortunate list, nut he is favorlifg them as well. When we consider.llie glaring reality that on the 16th insta there was consumed by Are In this country #700,000 worth of property, and that the daily average for the year.
