The various committees, which have set out to make the event one of the biggest ever held in Johnsburg, are working in perfect harmony, each and everyone doing his or her little part in bringing about the desired end.. The pastor of the church, Rev. Weber, has, during the* short time that he has been stationed there, worked wonders with the parishioners, everyone of whom is more than anxious to assist in the worthy cause. The big event, as previously stated, will open up next Sunday afternoon and will continue during the after­ noon and evening. Wednesday will be the, second day of the fair. On this day the ladies will hold a public card party, while big doings are in store for the evening. The card party will begin at two o'clock. Thursday, Thanksgiving day, will be the gala day.

A charge of 25 cents will also be made for the supper. • Carpenters and workmen are now at work transforming the spacious hall into a miniature county fair. Booths of all kinds are being erected, while all the other attractions that go to make up the modern bazaar will be found at every turn. The good people of Johnsburg ex­ tend a hearty invitation to the public in general to be their guests on these three days and assure all courteous treatment and a royal, good tisu. A special invitation is extended to the people of McHenry, many of whonj are already planning to attend. R. N. A.

Two weeks ago he was used as a substitute and last Satur­ day in' the Princeton-Yale game his name again appeared in the line-up. The former McHenry high school star, since going East, has developed into a wonderful athlete and his many friends here are pleased to «ee him doing 30 weU. ' Has Narrow Escape The Solon correspondent to the Richmond Gazette wrote as follows last week: "John Young of McHenry had a narrow escape in a runaway accident here last Sunday. The horse became frightened near the bridge and jumped off the ten foot embank­ ment, throwing both Mr. and Mrs. Young from the rig. The former in­ jured his hand in the fall, but Mrs. Young escaped injury aside from a general shaking up." GiVes Up Job at <Terra Cotta Frank Zuelsdorf, who for some time past has been a faithful employe at the Terra Cotta factory, gave up his position there last week and next Monday will enter the employ of Chas.

It is said that powdered milk is to be manufactured at the Genoa Junc­ tion plant of tli* Borden Condensed Milk company. Thos. Green of Crystal Lake donned a bathing suit and enjoyed a fifteen minute swim in the lake there on Sunday, Nov. 7. Hereafter Palatine will have her streets lighted from 5:00 o'clock p. m. until daylight. Evidently the citizens of that enterprising village are early risers. Richard M. Patrick, wKo passed away at his late home at Marengo, has often been referred to as the wealthiest man in McHenry county. His wealth is estimated at about $400,000. The Harvard public schools, which consume about 15,000 gallons of water per day, have been getting their water free of charge, but hereafter same will have to be paid for at the regular meter rate. The green houses at Crystal Lake are doing quite a business at this time. Frank Schramm, the proprietor, is shipping 600 carnations, 400 chrys­ anthemums and 50 to 60 bunches of pompoms to Chicago daily. Judge Smiley of Woodstock re­ cently assessed a fine of $900 and sentenced Frank Barney of Belvidere to serve nine months ^nd twelve days in the county jail on a charge of vio­ lating the local option law. Golf "bugs" of Richmond hope to acquire a 200 acre tract of land near that village for golf grounds. Their desire is to obtain the grounds at an early d«t£ so gs to have thejn reftdy with Hia opening ̂ Turing sea­ son. ' Frank Opfergelt, the heavy-weight wrestler of Woodstock, defeated San­ dal before the Cuba Athletic club in Chicago one day recently. He won the first fall in 1 hour and .27 minutes, while he worked 9 hours and {7 "Sec-, onds for the second. Genoa Junction, Wis., boasts of the distinction of being the second largest cabbage growing district in the United States and this year the largest crop ever was raised, for which the pro­ ducers received the lowest price in the history of the industry, George Moriarity of Woodstock has been given his unconditional release by the president of the Detroit Tigers, the McHenry county boy having evi­ dently outlived his usefulness as a big leaguer. Moriarity was picked up by the Chicago Cubs when the latter team played an exhibition game against the old Oliver aggregation some years ago. Richmond Gazette: the cost of a mile of brick or concrete road is in the neighborhood of $10,000. That looks like a lot of money for a mile of good roadway, but when you come to figure the amount of money that has been wasted on the highways of McHenry county, and nothing to show for it, you begin to realize that the time is at hand to go at highway construction in the proper manner. If all the money spent on the high­ ways of McHenry county since we commenced to lay out roads had been spent for brick, we would have today brick highways thruout the county, and those first laid would be good to­ day. Why continue to squander money on the highways? Why not put every dollar into premanent roads? The will of R. M. Patrick of Ma­ rengo, which was filed Monday at Woodstock by Attorney Charles B. Whittemore, is estimated to leave ap­ proximately $300,000 in personal prop­ erty and $86,000 in real estate. Dec. 6 has been set for the hearing of the will, of which Erneat D. Patrick is executor. $10,000 is left in trust to Ernest t>. Patrick, this a^nour^t to be invested for tep years and the income to be; divided ar^ong qeedy relatives. At the e^d of ten year* the sum is to ^ distributed among the relatives wjto peed financial aid. $1,000 is left to each of his grandchildren a,nd $3,000 given towards the es^lish- ment of an Qld PcojJe'e Ho^e ift Mft- j*ngo, Frovided $7,Q0Q n^e are wised for that purpose within one year after the death of M*- Patrick. Two-fifths of the residue of his estate is left to Ernest Patrick, one-fifth to Fred Pat­ rick and the other two-fifths is te be held .in trust by the WQ sons, the annual income to be divided between his two daughters, Movies at the Central Tuesday* Thursday, Saturday mi Sunday of each week. THANKSGIVING DANCE fra Be Held at Stoffel's Hall Next Thursday Evening ^ annual Thanksgiving dance, under the direction of the McHenry Baseball club, will be held at Stoffel's hall next Thursday evening. This will be the third annual Thanksgiving dance to be given by the club and, in view of the fact that the previous dances have proven so suc­ cessful, those who are responsible for tke holding of this year's affair feel confident that a large crowd will again be in attendance this year. The proceeds of the dance will be turned over to the regular players of the McHenry team. Manager Walsh informs us that the players have stuck to him so faithfully thruout the play­ ing season of 1915 that he feels the boys are entitled to at least some com­ pensation. As everyone is already a ware,, the baseball season in McHen­ ry, in a financial way, proved a failure. In spite of the fact that the club was behind, the boys, who made up. the McHenry team, informed the manager that they would be willing to stick and this they did and that, too, at their own expense. The boys all liked McHenry and they all liked to play here and for the popular manager and n appreciation for what these young athletes have done for us the manager a3 well as many of the fans feel that the proceeds of the coming event should be divided between the players. George Heimer, Edward Freund and Ray McAndrews, all McHenry boys, have come forward and offered their services free of charge for this night and their offer has been accepted and these young men will furnish the music for the occasion. A number of the young ladies about town have also offered their services and they will work with the members of the Neutral club in decorating the hall. The boys are going to try and make the event a pleasant one for everyone who attends, both young and old. Both the old and new dances will be in­ dulged in and those who attend may rest assured that they will receive the best of treatment. A cordial invitation is extended to a3L Dance tickets, $1.00.

At an appropriate hour all sat down to some delicious refresh­ ments served 'by the host's mother, after which the party broke up and the guests left for their homes.

Mead lost a~Valuable Hol- stein heifer some time during last Sunday night in a most peculiar man­ ner. The body of the animal was found by trappers in the woods on the farm occupied by Mr. Mead the fol­ lowing morning. When found the head of the animal was wedged in un­ der a branch of a fallen limb of a tree. The supposition is that the heifer had laid down next to the limb and caught her head as she turned to lick herself. From the ap­ pearance of the ground the animal made a hard struggle to extricate her­ self, which resulted in strangulation.
