One of this description wanted to sell some land, and so he put a written notice in ene of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring for a small farm was referred to the written notice, when he re­ spited: "I can't buy land at a fair price of a man who does his advertising in this way.

It had been made of cl ay and evidently was band made, and showed genius and ar­ tistic skill. Now the question natural­ ly comes up was there not a race of people here before the native Indians, who were far more intelligent and civilized? It would seem so. It is now proposed at no distant day to organize a party and open some of these Monyds, for the purpose of flnd- i"g out what they contain.

I n gal Is, in the sixty-fifth year of his ic deceased was born at Belcher in Washington-County.State of N. Y., in 1S19 and lived there until 1854, when he came to Illinois and settled near this village, where he continued to re­ side until the time of his death. We can say for Mr. Ingalls that lie was an affectionate husband and father and a warm hearted and congenial neigh­ bor, alivavs ready to sympathize with a fellow neighbor or friend in trouble. Had you sickness at home and should you meet him. the never failing Inquiry, "hbw's the folks?" would be eis salute and a few comments always tending to encourage showed that curosity alone did not prompt the question. His constitution was such as would be termed robust, until about three years ago, whan he began to be troubled with Heart disease, the spells at first being of short duration when he would be comparatively rugged again. His final illness lasted about eight mouths, and toward the last w*s very painful, but all was done that loving hands could do to alleviate his sufferings until deaths cold.hands was laid upon his weakned form and all earths' ills were forever past. The funeral was attended by a large gathering of old friends and neighbors, who <tld all they could to aid and comfort the bereaved family but all had reached years of consdienttlon and the emotional sobs and tears of affectionate errief told that all realized the loss they were called upon to sustain and that there is a vacancy felt in that home which nothing but a father's love could ever All. At the funeral all the family was present except the eld­ est son who is now a resident of Wash­ ington county N. T. The family feel that words cannot express, but hope that deeds may show their gratitude 'to all who so kindly aided them through this the darkest iiourof trial that they have ever known. P. L. C.' 1'HIS opening meeti ng at the Mc­ Henry Driving Park on Thursday last drew one a good crowd, and the sport of the clay was well enjoyed by all. With the exception of the Ball Gnme we believe tlie prograsime was carried out in full, and this was omitted only on account of the Chicago Club failing to come to time. The first race was for the three minute ?lasss, for which five horBes were entered, vi'z: ' K. J. Hanley, MoHunry, enters ....Bay Hilly. £ C. Andrews. Woodstock.. ....Nellie Buck. W.

P. «f. ERCANBRACK. Woodstock, III. $ept. 9th, 1884.- Men's al4 wool suits, #5.75,96.25,$8.00, #10.65, ?U.90, at Bouslett & Stofiel's. On Saturday last we made a visit to the Spring Valley Tile Works, W. D. Gates, Proprietor, which are situated at the old McMillan Mill, near Barre- ville. in the town of Nunda. These works were started in May of the present year. Mr. Gates has been quite an enthusiast in clay working, and the past year having discovered this bed has been experimenting by making up small articles and getting them burned in Chicago, and by which lie proved that the clay there found was of a superior quality, and particu­ larly adapted to the mnnufacture of Tile. He then purchased twenty acres including the old Mill, and started upon a small scile. hut soon finding that he needed more room, lie purchas­ ed the adjoining firm of one hundred acres, including house, barn, etc.. built on to the old Mill drying sheds 112x24 feet, two stories high, and com neuced the manufacture of tile in earnest. As this was the first time we ever had the pleasure of seeing them man­ ufacture I'ile, our description may be some what imperfect, hut we will tell it to our readers >s near as we can as we saw it, They lu»ve in use a Nolan and Madden Tile Machine, and a Wal­ lace Manufacturing Companies Crusher which are run by the water power formerly used for the old Mill, The clay bed is between six and seven hun­ dred teet from the works, to which Mr, Gates has built a miniature railroad, equiped with dump cars, which are loaded in the pit and easily drawn by one horse to thelirst floor ef the works, where it is dumped through a trap door t« the floor be low into the mixing bin, wiiere it is wet down rrcady for use, and then by the muscular efforts of two masculine men theelay is shoveled into the Tile Machine, By a Screw auger pressure the clay is forced out --horizontally--through the mold, a series of felt covered grooved roolers receiving tiie tile,'and a drop cutter, manipulated by hand, cutting it oft at the length desired. From litre the tile are placed In an elevator and car­ ried to the floor above, where they are received.by two men and stored in the drying lofts. After drying, the tile are wheeled *npou flat barrowiT to the ktin, which is a great oven, shaped like an inverted kettle. These kilns are built of fire brick, and around the bot­ tom, about eight feet apart, are the fire holes, 'a chimney conveying the heat and smoke into tho kiln, where it passes over and through the tile and escapes through flues at the bottom which carry it underground to the smokestack. When therkiln is filled ready for baking, it is sealed up tight and the fires are started; the fires are gradually increased until the heat be­ comes more intense than the heat used in melting iron. Iiiali.the fires are kept burning from four to five days, though the extreme heat is kept up only thirty six hours. About nine tuns of coal is required to a baking. It takes nbout nine days to "tnrtf' a kiln -- that is, to fill, fire, bake, cool, and empty it. The wonderful transforma­ tion of color is the pleasing surprise of tile making. The "raw tile" goes in a dull drab and comes out a bright red­ dish yellow. By a series of experi­ ments Mr. Gates has also some of a greenish tint. At these works there is now but one kiln with a capacity oi 10,000 tile, but Mr. Uates informed lis that he. should immediately commence the erection of another, as hu wishes to puih tne business to Its fullest capacity. He now has on hand about 50,060 tile varying iu size from 2$ to 10 inches, and they are pronounced by good judges to be as fine as any ever seen iu the country. A sample of them can be seen at this office. Adjoining the bed of tile clay has been discovered a bed of a finer and different quality, from which they have manufactured as an experiment a few Brick, Lion Heads, Medallions, and other ornaments, which burns almost a perfect white. Mr, Gates is sparing neither time nor money in pushing this business, and persons in want ot first class tile should not fail to' visit the Spring Valley Works before purchasing, as they will find tile of a superior quality and at reaseliable prices. The Superintend­ ent, F. L. B&bcecK, is indeed the "right man iu the right place," and will take pleasure in showing you through and explaining the workings of the busi­ ness. To those who are not acquaint­ ed with the location we would say it is situated five miles south of McHenry and three miles n6rth east of Nunda," or Crystal Lake Station. A visit will pay any man who is now or .con tern* plates using tile. , ̂ MILLINERY. Mrs. M.

Sentinel. .. ~ David S.Smith, formerly of McHenry and one of Mcllenry County's men of solid principle, now of Nebraska, shook hands with many of his numerous friends in Woodstock, and enjoyed the opportunity of rehearsing to them how by strict honesty toward his creditors when Ills all was destroyed by the great Boston fire, he lias succeeded in paying dollar for dollar, and finding himself once more, although on the de­ scending slope of life, in comfortable circumstances; and to none did the re­ hearsal give more delight^tlian to the Woodstock contributor. Everybody (except the Democrats who went to Rock ford) went to Maren­ go Friday night and heard Governor Hamilto:). Notwithstanding the chill of heavy, falling dew, the Governor cTiscussed the issues of the times in a masterly manner, and wae listened to by the dense and enthusiastic crowd who could scarce!}* find standing room in the beautiful park within hearing of his stentorian voice. And as I watched the eager listeners and wit­ nessed the round after round of ap­ plause. sent up by the vast crowd 1 withheld not my congratulations from the Democrats that Rambler was nbie in his last week's report to the McHenry County Democrat as hu important ac­ cession to the Democratic r.inks one new horn babe Weighing fully ten pounds, and as "of such is the Cleveland party, suffer it to go unto him." And as the Governor enumerated the quali­ fications of Grover Cleveland for the Presidency, how that he had been sheriff of Erie County and mayor of Buffalo, and finally governor of New York I could not restrain my regret in behalf or some ot our ex-sherifts--par- tlcularly one of whom It was said: "Algonquin giveth and Algonquin hath taken away, blessed be the name of Algonquin." If lie had only remained a bachelor and Democrat, and had a little more courage when lie went to Crystal Lake to arrest Dan Dufiey's roosters, just to offset Cleveland's hang msui courage, persevered and been elected mayor and governor in succes­ sion, since he has the avoirdupois and other predominant qualifications in common with Grover Cleveland, he might, at least have been placed in Ilendiicks' place, and then with such a span of iiormau reformers hitched to the Democratic hulk so long water- logged beneath the slime of secession, the "Lost cause" might have come to the surface once more. But alas for. those sad words, ( 'It might have been." G R E E N W O O D , EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--'The PLAtN- DEALERS did not reacn Greenwood un­ til Saturday. "Why was it?" M. Dassow and wife have moved into the factory. C. Marble, accotapanied by R. M. Goddard, made a business trip to Har­ vard last week. It is reported that J. J. Parker is fast failing IP. health. John Dassow had a colt badly lacer­ ated iu a barb wire fence, recently. Misses Ora and Carrie Briton, of El­ gin, are visiting at J. II. Garrison's. D. W. Soper was in Chicago a part of last week buying a new invoice of goods. Mrs. Wm. Westcrman is quite sick at present writing. On Wednesday of laSt week a-few families of Greenwood held a picnic at Geneva Lake. We might write con­ siderable of this event: How Willow Street ladles flitted about 'lie night before; how the merchant wast'induced to go; how W8 were obliged to remain at home; how W. A. Baker wasn't there, and how the September cousin was gone; but we promised Nell and Ret we would'nt write a word of it-- and our word is good. Mrs. Rathburn, who lias been spend­ ing: the summer with her parents here* returned to her home in Buffalo last Monday. ^ Rev. ifenrv Happcl delivered his farewell sermon, at the Baptist church in this village, last Sunday morning. We thlitk. never, in this village, did we listen to a more able discourse than was given by Mr. Happel on this occas­ ion. Mr. Happel and family leave this week for his new field of work as pas­ tor of the Baptist church at Woodstock. We hate to part with brother Happel, for reasons which go to make up a true and intelligent Christian man; hut Woodstock lias gained o«r loss. Ohr best wishes go wi^b Elder Happel and wife. We are pleased to he abl# to* |jvite that Chas. Cotilman has taken hofil of an enterprise that will be of great con­ venience to the village, and we hope a paying investment to him. It is the building of a roller skating rink and public hall. We are Informed that he proposes to build 32x100 feet with 14 foot posts, but has not decided fully on the dimensions until he gets reliable advice as to the acoustic properties of a room ef the dimensions proposed. This is a very important matter, as it would be an exceedingly unfortunate thing to expend so much money as such a building will cost and then have it unsuitable for public Speaking er sing­ ing. Mr. Gockin, of Genoa Junction, is to be boss builder, and Mr. Coulman proposes to put all the hands he can get at worK. so as to finish the whole job by the .middle of October. From the experience of onr farmers who sowed'wheat the past season, afid indeed for several jears past, there seems reason to hope that the old time fertility is resolved to our soil and we need no longer look to Iowa and Minnesota for flour for home consump­ tion. " Our millers inform us that it is an important point to secure seed from Iowa or Minnesota, and cite the ex­ perience of Robert Thompson, who sowed -foreign" seed .last spring and harvested 34 bushels to the acre, rank­ ing as No. 1 hard. His wheat is worth five cents more per bushel than that raised from seed grown in tills vicinity, which extra price would go a good ways in paying a little above the mar­ ket for foreign seed. Would it not be a good thing for the farmers in this and ether vicinities to club together and order their seed by the carload from Iowa or Minnesota? The Messrs. Cole, of the Richmond Mills, will take orders and send for the grain, cat load lots, to accommodate farmers. DUESS-MAKIJlll MRS. ALLEN WALSH.
