Kimball, the McHenry as sessor, who began his annual labors of assessing property the first of April, is a very busy man these days and will continue to be until about June 15, at which time his work is expected to be completed. The work this year will »be much less arduous than that of last year, when real estate and personal property ^ere included, whereas only personal property will be passed on this year, real estate remaining on the same basis of assessment as last year, except where improvements make an advance neces sary. The assessor's visit is something every property owner- must look for and the best way is to receive him cordially and give him an accurate account of your holdings. The better way, too, is to tell him of what you actually possess and never mind how much your neighbor has of which he does not tell the assessor. M. M. Niesen, the Centerville gro- ceryman, can supply you with seed po tatoes. He has the Early Rose and Early Ohio varieties. 40-tf GIVE POSTNUPTIAL PARTY. LEI it lu Courier, April 25.1 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heiiher. of Ravenswood were hosts last evening at a postnuptial party for Mr. and Mrs. John Watson, the latter formerly Miss Harriet Lamphere. The affair was given at the home of Mrs. Heimer's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter, on Congdon avenue, this city. Cards were the diversion of the evening, two tables being tilled for five-handed five hundred. The guest of honor favor was given Mrs. Watson and the favors for high scores to Miss Mattie Hopson and Mr. Watson. Luncheon was served in two courses in the dining room, the centerpiece for the table being several kinds of small ferns. Place cards were dainty cupid affairs. Out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wilbern of Carpentersville. Mr. Heimer returned to Chicago this morning, and Mrs. Heimer will remain here until Friday evening, when her mother will accompany her home for a short visit. See Wm. Simes for lubricating oils, greases and prepared paints. He guar antees satisfactory goods at satisfactory prices. 31 WHO IS USING NET? The presence of a number of dead minnows on the banks of Boone creek and the absence of many fish that were seen in the creek the night previous evidenced on Wednesday morning that seiners had been active in that body of water during the night. Who are the guilty ones? No one seems to kpow. F. J. Nickels, night watchman at t-he Borden factory, according to current reports, heard an auto cross the railroad tracks on Waukegan street about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning and it is not at all unlikely that the seiners came in from a nearby town or the country. Such work as this should be carefully investigated and if the guilty ones are apprehended they should be severely dealt with- ELMER LANE MARRIEO, From the Bell Telephone News, a publication issued in the interest of telephone workers, we note that KlmeR, Lane was married to Miss Ruth Rog ers on March 30.
