We sold 28,824 pounds of Sugar be­ tween Jan. 1st, 1891 and Jan. 1st, 1892, and during that time none was sold at a loss to be used as a bait, but was sold to our regular trade at the lowest living prices.-, J.

It will probably be more severe this win­ ter than last. •'GEORGE O." stock is constantly look­ ing up. A party here was offered $250 for a "George O." colt six months old, which he refused. Also a party from Minnesota bought a "George O." filly at Elgin last week, for which he paid $300. Mr. Owen informs us that his book for 1892 is fast filling up with names from all over the country. NOTWITHSTANDING the terrible weather rf Friday last, the New Year's Party, at ihe Riverside House, drew out one hun- /dred.and ten couples and all report a splendid time. Had the weather been favorable fully two hundred and fifty couples would have been present. Mine host Story done his part to the satisfac­ tion of all. " JAS. R.

NEW YEAR'S day was one of the] worst of the season in this section. It rained nearly all day and in the evening a snow Storm set in, and by 12 o'clock it was a email sized blizzard. It has moderated {somewhat since, and at this writing, Wednesday morning, there is every pros­ pect of snow. Eight or ten inches of \now now would make good sleighing, tfh[c]i w.auljd be very acceptable. OUR young folks, to the number of some eighteen or twenty, perpetrated a complete surprise on Miss Alice Bennett on New Year's night. Miss Bennett ,had returned a few days before from a nine­ teen months absence in Minnesota and young folks took this method to welcome her home again. The surprise was well planned and carried out, and the evening was one of real enjoymenlf to all. - .

Stuart Robson as TonyXumkin. Stuart Robson, the ever favorite come­ dian, now at the Chicago Opera House, is fneeting with enormous success in his splendid production of "She Stoops to Conquer," There is certainly a hopeful outlook for the drama, when people be^ gin to have a growing relish for old En­ glish comedy, as last season's annals of the stage in New York hew fully proved. Xot all of the old comedies, as not all classical music, or pieces of the willow pattern, are to be commended or enjoyed, but at least a half dozen can be cited, as specimens of what good comedy should be. First and foremost among them is Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer." What richness of humor in the situations, what a sparkling succession of incident and amusing complications, what natur­ alness of dialogue, and artful contrast in the pitting of characters against each other, is to be found in this incompara­ ble comedy. We have seen, all too sel­ dom on the American stage, this thor­ oughly delightful play. The reason for this, may be that it takes actors whose art is fine enough to be capable of inter­ preting the classical purity of old com­ edy, and while there may be enough of these to give frequent representations of these plays, they may not at the same time hold the power at the managerial end of the machine, which is necessary to set the ball in motion. Tony Lumkin has never been better presented than by Stuart Robson, and "She Stoops to Con­ quer," has never been better cast or en­ vironed. The engagement is for one week more, only. ALGONQUIN.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER :--The weather during December was mild enough to suggest April instead 4 of December. Christmas eve brought us mist, bottom­ less mud and "darknets that could be felt," and we sighed for the snow clad fields glittering in the moonlight and the tinkling sleigh bells, that seem to be the proper ^ttiug for this joyous occasion in our northern latitude. But whether our homes be among snow-clad hills or orange groves, by the lake or the sea, in Merry England or German Fatherland, wherever rhristianty has unfurled her banner of light all hands join in celebrat­ ing the natal day of One who brought "Peace on earth, good will to men." Standing almost at the close of the nineteenth century from the dawn of the Christian era we can look down the long vista of years to the manger of Bethle­ hem, where the infautSavior wascradled. We can see, if we will, how the gospel of light and love, then brought to a dark­ ened earth 1 t# passed with enlightening, vivifying power from nation to nation from heart to heart, until mankind has been able t<o discern the path leading up­ ward to a higher and a purer life. ' Though not a resident of the village of McHenry we are sorry to learn that, for some unexplained reason, their plan for a new school buildiog has been aban- frvr prr^rtt Ta nri -otitpid'or. that seems to be about the worst thing that village could do. A substantial, handsome school building, large enough to meet the wants of the district, with an ab'e corps of teachers would add to the value of real estate in that district. Good citizens seeking hew homes are greatly influenced by the church and school privilpges they find 'in a town, and will not invest, their money where these advantages are lacking. Such people every town wishes to attract and retain. The taxpayer who opposes th# fitting up of a thoroughly equipped public school is engaged in the unprofitable job of stand­ ing in his own light. Some of the homes in our village were noticed in our last communication, and we will now say a few words about its business interests. The general store of J. W Oistv A- Son was purchased of Z. Smith by the senior member of the firm, something more than twenty years ago. In his hands the business grew and prospered and obtained an enviable rep­ utation in this part of the county About seyen years ago his son, Joseph E. became junior member of the firm, and soon proved to be "the right man in the right place." Though young in years he has developed business talent which places him in the front rank among the young business men of the county. Hav­ ing learned early in life that the success­ ful merchant is mindful of the interests of his cuntomers, he is being rewarded by a rapid increase of trade, for the public is never slow to learn at what store the needed grades are found, and polite and attentive clerks. The meat market, opened by Adam Jackman last spring, tilled a long felt want and received a large share of well deserved patronage all through t he warm season. His patrons are always sure to find plenty of good meat from which to make their selections and at reasonable prices. We certainly hope he has found the business sufficiently profitable to en­ able him to furnish us a first class butcher's shop for many years. The blacksmith nnd wagon shop of Grimolby & Pint seems to be doing a thriving business, if one may judge by their busy hampers and the general stir around their premises. If anyone wants any work in their line done, it is certain ly a good place to go. Chas. Forth's blacksmith shop, for­ merly owned by N. Blake, is receiving a liberal share of work. Anyone patroniz­ ing that shop will find able and rapid workmen to attend to their wants. For a long time Ringwood was with­ out a shoe maicer, but that place is now filled by a Mr. Harrison, a stranger, but those who have given him work seem pleased with the result. J. V. Buckland's nursery of fruit and ornamemtal trees, shrubs, etc., is just south of our village, where can be found a grand and well chosen stock of goods in his line. He is also engaged in raising small fruit and in market gardening. He is making a success in each department. Any one wishing to purchase will be sure of courteous treatment and fair dealing. Oatman Bros, butter and cheese fac­ tory, near the depot, was built several years ago and iN well patronized by the farmers of'this locality. While we have an excellent dressmaker in Miss Frank Ingalls, we have no milli­ ner. The right person desiring-an opart­ ing for millinery and ladies' furnishing goods might do well here and build up a permanent and profitable business. We earnestly hope the hoodlums who exercised themselves on Hallowe'en by turning over sidewalks, will make a New Year's resolution to repair the mischief then done, and keep.that resolution too.
