He is one of McHenry's brightest and steadiest young men, and his many friends are glad to know of his good fortune. THE coming legislature will be respect­ fully prayed to repeal the anti-sparrow law, which has cost the state a mint of money, killed off a lot of boys, and ac­ complished no.good purpose." THE following extract from a medical advertisement is perhaps about correct: "Consumptive, cough while you can, for after you have taken one bottle of my mixture, you can't." HIGHWAYMEN are holding up Chicago policemen now almost daily. And the . policemen, by way of retaliation, are dabbing inoffensive citizens who happen to 1 e in the neighborhood as soon as the danger is Over. "BROTHER," says a Georgia editor, /'don't stop your paper because you don't agree with the editor. The last cabbage you sent us didn't agree with us either, but we don't drop you from our subscription list on that account." / THE President's message, which II printed in full on the inside page|i of thii paper, is a review of his administration' during the past four years. It is arecord to be proud of, and will mark an epoch in American history. JOHN P.

They finished up the job to the entire satisfaction of the Commissioners, draw­ ing 380 yards in seven dayt. Who can Hfcpat it? THIS office issued last week five hand­ some tickets for Christmas and New Tear's Parties, which we think will com­ pare favorably in workmanship, with lOQr office in the State. Those desiring good work are invited to call around and examine specimens. THE aged mother of Mrs. John iuse, died one day laat week, and was raried on Friday.

By order of the W.M. MINE host Story, of the Riverside Housoj is making preparations for a royal good time at his Annual New Yearns Party, to take place at that pop­ ular dancing- resort on the evening of January 2d. Slocum's full Orchestra, which is without question the best danc­ ing music in the Northwest, will furnish the music and nothing will bfeleffc undone to make it pleasant for all who attend. Remember the date, Monday evening, January 2d. A STORY is told of a hunter, who, while carefully scanning a distant hill for game, was frightened out of his wits by big game jumping right under his feet. After our Worlds Fair managers have "pub­ lished and promoted" all the rest of the world knee deep with literature, they may discover big game in Illinois, from whence must come the surest pay, and yet the management is not yet in sym­ pathetic touch with the newspapers of the State, AN exchange says that a few weeks ago a Nebraska girl in peeking eggs wrote her name on one of them. Away off in California it fell into the hands of a young man, who immediately started a correspondence. Last week he packed his «ruak fcid came to Nebraska to claim his bride. This is believed to be the first time in the history of Nebraska that an egg ever hatched out a wedding. Don't be surprised at anything in Ne­ braska. [• bfl _Sfj? Death of Charles B. Bartlett Charles H. Bartlett, the oldest settler Lake county, died at his home at Dia­ mond Lake on Wednesday last, his eighty-eighth birthday. He had lived in JJueT^ounty for fifty-seven consecutive years. He was bora in Warren, N. H., Decem­ ber 7,1804, where he spent his boyhood. In 1834 he started west and arrived in Chicago October 1. and soon »ft«r his home in Lake county where he has since resided. He was married in 1831 to Miss Sallie Pearson. They had five children--Mrs. G. C. Whipple, of Pala­ tine; Hiram P. Bartlett, of Fremont; G. H. and C. T. Bartlett, of Evanston, and Mrs. J. E. Kane, of Fremont. He had held many honorary offices and was generally respected by his large circle of friends. The fnneral was held on Friday.-- IFa ukegaa Pa triot. WE wish to again remind our readers in Alogonquin and vicinity of the Christ­ mas Party, to "be held at Columbia Hall, in that village, on Friday evening, Dec. 23d, under the auspices of the "All for Fun Pleasure Club." The management are sparing no pains to make this the Party of the season, and with Slocum's full Orchestra, seven pieces, to furnish the music, all who attend are tare of having a good time. /OUR townsman, Isaac Wentworth, has1 banded us the official canvas of Green fcounty, N. Y., a county which has here­ tofore been strongly democratic, but which at the last election gave a hand­ some Republican majority. We are glad to know that there is one green spot in the old Empire State, in which the unter- rified have seen the error of their ways. Let the good work go on. There is yet hope. ng public should not forget three things, viz: That there is to be a Christmas Party, at the Swenson House, Wauconda, Friday evening, Dec. 23d, that the new First Infantry Band, of Chicago, with Albert E. Clark, as music­ al Director; will furnish the music and that E. A. Golding will have sole charge of getting up the supper for the occasion. There these requisites is a sure guaran­ tee of a good time for all who attend. WHAT a heartless people there must be in Lexington! Last Saturday they de­ liberately walked to the polls and voted against an editor for postmaster. But in the future as in the past they will con fcinue to Bmile upon the editor and pull his leg for free pugs and bon mots. 'Twas ever thus. It is invariably a raw and chilly day when an editor secures any favors from people upon whom he has bestowed generous notices for weeks, months, years. OUR readers are respectfully asked to note the advertisements and business locals in this issue. Many of them are new. Advertising is expensive and mer­ chants do not indulge in it unless they have bargains to offer, inspect their ads, and you will know where the enter­ prising business men are to be found and what they have to sell. The thrift and enterprise of a town depends largely upon its live merchants, and the columns of the local paper indicate more than in any other way, who the live merchants are. IT is unlawful to kill wild turkeys be tween January 15th and September 1st, of each year, It is also unlawful to kill- pinnated »grouse or prarie chicken be­ tween November 1st and September 15th of the" succeeding year, or any ruffled grouse, quail, pheasant or partridge be­ tween December 1st and the first day of the succeeding October. It is also un­ lawful to kill any gray or fox squirrel between December l5th and the succeed ingJune. For violation of any of the above the penalty is a fine of not less than $5 nor more than f 25, one-half of the fine imposed going to the person filing the complaint. Only 25 cents for a finely bound book. What is nicer for a Christmas nrnrrnt Call and.se * from Ring* „ * some time, I eon* jeeture I shall note be usurping the right of anyone in preparing a communication to the PLAINDEALER. If so I shall be willing to be forgiven at the earliest op­ portunity and through these columns. First, we are growing here in onr little village. In what way? you ask. Not particularly better, but bigger, as the boy says. Our popular factory man, Chas. Thompson, has just had completed a very tasty dwelling, upon a lot on Main street, and right in the prettiest and most convenient sight for him that he could have chosen. The family is just getting settled and will soon be ready to pMfctheir friends at home. llmeStevens is quite indisposed at priitiut writing but is improving. R. Bacon and wife, of Lake G«sevt, were visitors at C. Bacon's Monday. School is progressing nicely under the presnt management and ouly needs an assistant that the principal may devote more time to individual classes. At a meeting of the young folks, con­ vened at J. W. Cristy's on Friday even­ ing last, it was unanimously decided to have a grand double Christmas tree and brief exercises, mostly singing, in Band Hall, Saturday evening, Dec. 24, 1892. Committees were appointed to take charge of the matter :AIM1 we feel confident that you ui«.y come to Ringwooa for a good time and lots of presents. If the parties who practiced the vocal exercises on Saturday evening last when the pro­ gram committee met can only be kept out ot the cold till Christmas ^ve.( the people will then be treated to something very unusual in Ringwood. Jonathan Brown has just had a well stink and force pump put in by Manor nsd partner, from Tfcs found him 9% feet of water which Jona­ than says is water enough. There are more than a down young fellows around town, yes and some old ones too, who are skilled ia the art of clerking for a ferret. Should any one have a dangerous animal this breed just call upon Perry Graves, or, but we dare not name the others. They're all larger than we, yes and stronger, since they took to the occupation, and we might get ourselves into trouble. ^RSA&i!. HmMtCaifci ttn© acre o! land, in thisvU- bge.

Cristy & Son have the largest and most select stock of Holiday Goods ever shown in Ringwood, and will com­ pare favorably with any shown in this county. They are selling so low too. that everyone can afford to buy one at least for himself, if his friends forget him. We have bought ours already, knowing we should not be *'in it" otherwise. While calling at Ely Chase's one day this week we were shown a little hatchet, which Mr. Chase brought from Mt. Ver­ non. Also a wooden goblet. Whether the first mentioned is the original little hatchet we cannot sav, but it is made from a piece of cherry tree anyway. Mrs. Chase also showed us some spring of English Ivy, one from the tomb of Wash­ ington and one from Arlington. Both are rooted and should, we think, make a live of it now. A beautiful Christmas Cactus was also to be noticed among the choice plants. Then, too. a picture of Grand Army men and wives was shown in which we saw Mr. and Mrs. Chase's likenesses. The picture was taken in front of the famous Washington resi­ dence which was open to the G. A. R. visitors during the encampment, C. W. Randall, of Oak Lawn Academy, has gone to Galesburg on business. The Republican Club is a sure winner and will be organized at an early date. • 11-- For instance, Mrs. Chas.
