That they may have njany .more social occasion of the same kind is the wish of all. 'MM. REPORTS having been circulated that Diphtheria and Typhoid Fever were pre­ valent in this village, Dr. O. J. Howard, chairman of the Board of Health, in­ forms us that there is not a single case of either disease inside the corporate limits. Where such reports originate, when there is not the least foundation for them, is a mystery. There is not a single case of any contageous disease in tbe village, and in fact but little sickness of any kind except bad colds. AT a meeting of the Board of Supervis­ ors, held at Woodstock last week, our member, Hon. F. K. Granger, was ap­ pointed on the following committees: Chairman of Committee on Roads and Bridges.

A fine program of amuse­ ments is being arranged, and noted speakers will enliven the occasion with patriotic addresses. Exchanges in this county and throughout Northern Illinois will please make a note of this fact and thereby confer a favor on those in charge of the picuic." * A FARMER of experience says that one of the main reasons why more and better fruit is not grown is because the trees are starved. Some persons have had fruit trees standing on their premises twenty years and in all that time have never fed the tree anything in the way of manure. A tree will manage to main­ tain an existence under such circum­ stances, but to expect it to bear full crops of fine fruit is an absurdity. You must give your tree something to eat be­ fore you can expect it to do its bast in the way of fruit bearing. SCANDAL, mongers may be interested in the following ingenious recipe for making a good scandal: "Take a grain of false­ hood, a handful of roundabout, the same quantity of busy tongue, a sprig of the herb called back-bite, a teaspoonful of don't-you-tell-it, six drops of malice and a few drops of entfy. Add a little discon­ tent and jealousy, and strain through a bag of misconstruction. Cork it up in a bottle of malevolence and hang it up on a stem of street yarn; keep it in a hot at­ mosphere; shake it occasionally for a days and it will be fit for use. Let a & drops be taken before walking put the desired result win follow. L. tiki ROBT. SUTTON had a narrow escape from a bad accident one day last week. / While returning from the Cheese. Factory the king bolt of his wagon broke throw- „ iog him over the front of the wagon, where the team dragged him around in the mud in a lively manner for a few min- , utes. He fortunately escaped with a few L slight bruises. \ A FRIEND of ours, then living in Hacine, ordered with other books from Gregs & Co. of Chicago, a copy of Cannon Far- Tar's "Seekers After God," just then out. In a short time the other volumes came to hand, but being out| of the Canon's b ?ok, Gregs & Co. wrote at the bottom of the CMeago." , - r y DncD.-~In Chicago, Wednesday eveaiag, Mayllth, 1892, of Peritonitis, N. 4. Phillips, aged 41 years. The subject of the above notice was the usband of a former resident of this town, iss Emma Gregory! who has many ExIsTienntEo^Wtl^neeply sympathize with her in her greatsorrow. Mr Phillips was siok about two months ago with the same complaint, from which he never fully recovered, although he was appar­ ently as well as evqr. The second attack however, was more severe and he was sick but a few days when death came to his relief. We join with other friends of the sorrow stricken wife in extending our heartfelt sympathy in this her ho«r of sad bereavement. TRITE independence of character is a virtue possessed by but few men. Some mistake stubbornness for independence. Others go further, and attempt to call prejudice by that noble name. To be truly independent in personal and politi­ cal affairs calls for the constant exercise of patience and thoughtful research. No man who cannot dispassionately view a question from at least two sides can BVBr hotto to SSCUrC isdcuoudrms «»» character. Emerson, in one of his happi­ est works, gives expression to the follow­ ing trite sentiment: "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who. io the midst of a crowd, keeos with" perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." --Chicago Graphic. * Fox Kiver Xedioal AnooistiM. The Fox River Medical Association held its fifty fourth Bemi-annaal meeting at Elgin, on Monday last, about fifty well known physicians being present. Tbe subject for discussion was "Preven­ tive Medicine," of which the Elgin News says: "On this subject two exceedingly fine papers were presented. Dr. W. A. Nason of Algonquin gave ft paper on 'What Makes the Science of Preventive Medicine Possible.' He Handled the sub­ ject in a masterly manner, and there was much in bis address that betokened deep thought and a thorough study of his subject." At this meeting twenty-five new mem­ bers were proposed and accepted, which gives the association a membership of nearly one hundred, and in the language of the News the benefits to be derived from these meetings and the exchange of ideas and opinions is fullvappreciated by all who have been privileged to attend. The discussions are general, and touch upon every point of the subject. These meetings and exchanging of views cannot help but be of untold bene­ fit. Dr. C. H. Fegers, of this village is a member of the Association. The boasted ingenuity of the Yankees, and their ready adaptability to circum­ stances has not yet deserted them. Here is the story of one in Kittery, Me., who had made fame and a good living for years as the carver of figure heads for vessels, and how he has met the emerg­ ency. FicklefMhioflL baa changed and figure heads are no Idnger used on ves­ sels. The practical, material commercial age has take the poetry from the seas as i) has 'abolished it every where else, and a sharp, business like prow, unrelieved by mermaid or Neptune or figure of hero, is now the style of ship. The occupation of the famous sculptor of figure heads was. gone. But did he repine and sit among his shaviDgs and chips and be­ moan the lack of appreciation of art and the rude destruction of the -poetry of commerce? Not at all. He was a Yan­ kee, and he simply hustled for a new market and now he has a contract for furnishing graven images and idols for the heathen which will keep him busy for two years at least. It is as quick a turn as that made by a New England captain who had a cargo of warming pans aboard in the West/Indies, and as, of course, they wera^unsalable in that cli­ mate, he knocked the'eovers off and sold them to the planters at a good profit as sugar ladles or skimmers. The Boss Show Comlar- he advance agents of the W. R. Rey- lds Consolidated Shows have covered eirery available space in this town and urrounding country with pictorial post- 'ers announcing the coming of that popu­ lar amusement organization, which will ^exhibit in McHenry, Friday May 27th. "When we announce the fact that the veteran showman, Mr. R. 3. Dingess, who for more than a quarter of a century has been the leading spirit of Forepaugh's, Coup's and other mammoth amusement organizations, is the general agent of this show, no other indorsement of its prominence and excellence is necessary. The Reynolds Show comprises one of the best circuses ever placed upon the road, and a menagerie of unexceptionablei merit and numberless special attractions which we have not the space to enumer­ ate. In the list of animals there is a splendid living specimen of the moose, an animal that is rapidly becoming extinct, and. which in ten years or less will proba­ bly be entirely exterminated. Mr. Dingess informs us that thesis the finest specimen of the moose ever in Captivity, and stands fully sixteen hands high, with enormous antlers', and in full life and vigor. It has been thoroughly broken to harness and can easily do his mile in 2:30. He has also been educated to per­ form numerous feats and tricks, such as ringing bells, firing guns, etc. Among the outside attractions of this show, the parade will be a pleasing feature, and it will be well for those living outside the town limits to come in early, so as not to miss the opportunity of viewing its manifold attractions.

CRISTY & SON. • WE can recollect how, when .we a boy, any one who danced, or played J whist or Old Maid or even looked at pack of cards, was as studiously shun­ ned by the devout and consistent Metho­ dist as though his or her hands were red | with the blood of some murdered fellow r being. We have sat on the hard bench" with our feet dangling ten inches from the floor, for two straight hours, and seen the good Christian women as they g leaned their heads on the back of the seat ia | front, and whib the minister exhorted thef Almighty to see the flues were kept clean" and tbe draft strong in the infernal place below, they would wiggle along and two or three of them get their heads together and proceed to disect the character of an innocent young girl who had been impru-f dent enough to join in a dance at some party she had unwittingly attended. Then when church was out, the poor girl would find herself cut and shunned, and as these human hyenas rolled theirgravy eyes upon her with withering scorn, her sensitive nature would give away to dis- p'air, or, if possessed of a little spirit, she would be driven to desperatioi), and Would inwardly resolve, "well, I'll give them something to talk about." But all this has, with other peculiarities ot an imperfect civilization and a partially de­ veloped intelligence, become obsolete, or is to be made so. Tbe general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at Omaha has adopted a resolu­ tion removing tbe restrictions upon dancing, and (riven to the younger mem­ bers of any church a wide latitude in tbe way of amusements.

One month ago I began using Sophus' Egg Food and after a week I got 2 dox. eggs every day. I find that not only as an egg producer but as a preventive against chicken diseases, it is very valu­ able. I therefore recommend it to all having chickens. FRED PETERS. GREENWOOD, Feb. 5th, 1892. I have used Sophus' Egg Food the last two months and am well satisfied with the results. It is a good thing for mak­ ing hens lay. MRS. Wm. ECKERT. Sophus' Egg Food when fed for cholera should be mixed with bran, double the amount being used as called for in di­ rections. If chickens cannot eat, stuff the mixture, slightly wet, into their mouths and it will cure them. NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS.
