It is hoped that this will be the largest gathering of elderly people and of old settlers which has ever assem­ bled in Northern Illinois. O. Davidson Chairman Committee. Circuit Court. ' Owing to the late spring and the rash that our farmers are in with spring work, the attorneys of the bar have agreed not to try any common law cases at this term of court. There are several crim­ inal cases which will have to be tried, as the prisoners are in jail, but the jurymen will not be asked to try any but criminal cases when defendants are in custody. This will be pleasant news to the farmers who have been summoned as jurymen, aad who, if obliged to stay here and at­ tend a long session of court, would lose a great deal more than they would receive in pay.--Sentinel. Notice. The citizens of Ringwood and all others interested in the Ringwood cemetery, are requested to meet at the Congregational Church, in Ringwood, Friday evening, May 22d, at haft past seven, to reorgan ize the Cemetery Association, and to de­ vise some plan to create a fund to be ex­ pended in the improvement of the ceme­ tery grounds, repairing fence, gate, etc. and putting headstones in position which are now fallen down and very many leaning quite bad.

A. Chase, treas­ urer of Cemetery Association. By request of Members of the Associa­ tion. Gtold Medal Contest.' Owing to a misunderstanding, no re­ port of the Gold Medal Contest held at Ringwood, May 1st has appeared in. Ahe PLAIN-DEALER. Since the medal came to McHenry we concluded that a late notice was better than none. There were eight contestants, as folt ows: Misses Myrtie Freeman and Rena Baker, of Greenwood; Miss Ruth Barnard, Messrs. Guy Hall, John Harrison, Willie French and Saylor Smith, of Ringwood, and Miss Grace Stevens, of Weqt Mc­ Henry. In addition to the contest selec­ tions there was a very interesting pro­ gramme, consisting of recitations by thbse winning second prizes in the silver (pedal contests, solo by Miss Lizzie Os­ borne, duet by the Misses Gibbs, of Genoa, Wis., and several songs by Mr. and Mrs. Howe, of Delavan, Wis. The house was filled to its utmost capacity, the receipts being something over $50. Many from McHenry attended. Supt. M. Quacken bush, of Kane Co., ex-Supt. Lester Bar­ ber, of Marengo, and Miss Emma Norton, of Marengo, were the judges. Miss Grace Stevens was the successful contestant. While we are much pleased to have the medal won by a young lady of McHenry, we feel it would be unjust to the others to not mention the excellent work done by all. Miss Ruth Barnard won the second prize, an illustrated book of poems, and Saylor Smith, third prize, also a book of poems., The medal was presented by Rev. Wm. Nickel, who also in behalf of the contestants presented Miss Lucy Hull with a f 5 gold piece The proceeds of the evening were, by the unanimous vote of the house, given to Miss Hall as a mark of the appreciation which the people feel for the work she has done in drilling the young people of Ring- wood, and the incentive to better and higher aims.

He coipeth home at eventide and meeteth the wheelbarrow in bis path. It riseth up and ertliteth him to the earth, and falleth upon him, and runneth one of its legs into his ear.

Again we are called upon to record the death of two of our old and respected] citizens. James Smith died at his home in Nun- ; da on the 14th day of May. James Smith was born in Northern Vermont, Jan. 22d, 1813, and when seven years of age went with his father to Canada, re­ maining there till 15> years old. He then went to Franklin Co., N. Y., and five years later to Upper Canada. In 1842, he was married to Cynthia Edick, of Mex­ ico. Oswego, Co., N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to Illinois in 1846, locating near Crystal Lake, where they lived until 1878, when they canie to Nunda. Mr. Smith was taken sick Sundfey1, May 3d, having attended church services during the day, and the end came Thursday morning, May 14th. Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased, Sunday morning, May 17, conducted by C. S. Medbury, pastor of the Christian Church. Our townspeople extend the warmest sympathy to Mrs.,Smith in her sad hour ot bereavement. On Saturday morning May 16, Charles E. Warner passed quietly away from this life to the life eternal after a long ill­ ness. His loss will be deeply felt by all, and all unite in extending sympathy to the aged wife and family. His life was filled with kindly deeds, and where sick­ ness and trouble were, his presence was always known. Not many will be more missed in the community, than one of his neighborly ways. The funeral was held from his late residence on Sunday afternoon, May 18. Services conducted by the pastor of the M. E. Church, W. II Pierce, assisted by Mr. Medbury, of the Christian Church and Mr. Hade of the Free Methodist Church. Mr. Ashton passed peacefully and qui­ etly away on Monday morning, May 18, at his home, the Crystal Lake Hotel, Crystal Lake, 111.

It is a relief to pick up a new bbok that is at once thrilling, romantic, wholesome pure and true. Such a work is "Foot­ prints of the World's History,', the latest and greatest work of the two celebrated historians, John Clark Ridpath and Wm S. Bryan. These distinguished gentle­ men, having won their laurels by indepen dent writings, have co-operated on this work, an*d produce a gem "of the purest ray serene." It is not a dry, uninteresting statement of the plain facts, but rather each of the most important events of history has been taken up and described by a master of language, who holds the reader entranced as he wends his way along the path of history, followitg care­ fully in the footprints of progress. We are delighted with this superb vol­ ume: Perfect in thought, superb in Btyle and magnificent in execution. The tend­ ings are sumptuous, as are also the many illustrations and colored plates. The Publishers have rightly concluded that such a gem should have a rich setting. It is a valuable addition to literature. It is a book for the old as well as the young; the married as well as the single; the gV as well as the grave. Everybody will read it witb equal eagerness and profit. It is sold only through agents, and the Publisher's advertisement ap- pears in another coiinna. BOARD OF HEALTH* Notice to the Public.
