LIST of letters remaining uncalled' for in the P. O. at McHenry, III., oh the 1st day of Nov., 1897: " J Miss Oliver Pearson, M astpf Geo Sclumer Mrs. Fletcher Rose, Joe Mardath, Miss Lizzie Surges, Hafrv Gibson, Thos. Griffin, Albert Johnson. Please say advertised when calling for above letters. ALBERT SNOW, Post Master. A HOOSIER farmer while at work in a cornfield was approached by two "confi­ dence men." After listening to their proposition a few minutes, indicating all the time that he was the sucker they were looking for, he excused himself to go to tb»i house to get his pocket book, returning, however, with his shot-gun. The confidence chaps fled. It was after­ wards discovei rd that the farmer takes the local paper and therefore learns the ways of the world.

Remember the date, Noffember 17th. Tickets will be issued in a few days and full pa rticulars will appear in these columns next week. ED. SUTTON came up town on Monday morning, and if one was to judge by the expression of his countenance, he was the happiest man in ten states. He walked deliberately into this office and handed us the following notice: BORN,--On Sunday evening, October, 3lst, 1897, to Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Sutton, a thirteen pound daughter. Mother and child doing well and the father is happy. Now Mr. Sutton's family number eight children, four boys and four girls, and Ed" says he is aware that four of a kind beats two pair, but he would like to know what four of each kind will beat. We give it up. The PLAINDEALER force smoked at Mr Sutton's expense, and join with us in wishing him, his better half and their four of each kind prosperity through life. SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. The scholars of the First Primary room in the Public School, will give an enter­ tainment. at the City Hall, on Frid-iy evening, Nov. 19th, the proceeds to be used for purchasing new seats for said room. This entertaiument will be some­ thing unique and interesting, the scholars in this room being almost all new begin­ ners. Their Teacher M iss Kate Howe, has no superior in drilling this class of pupils and all can rest assured that the entertainment will be well worthy of their patronage. The object, too, is a worthy one, and we hope to see *he THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The second month of the Term of our Public School will close this week, and everything seems to be running in the mfist satisfactory manner. On».Monday, morning two new outside scholars for the High School were enrolled, namely, Vernor Torrence and Wm. Rosing, of Volo. This makes nine outside pupils in this department which speaks well for the school and its management. The Board have lately put in a goodly number of new reference books, among which are Redpath's History of the United States, Byron's Popular History, Fisk's School History, Mammsen's His­ tory of Rome, History of Greece, in two volumes, Johnston's American Poli­ tics, Proude's Life of Caesar, Murray's Manuel of Mythology and Webster's In­ ternational Dictionary. These with others which are to be put in soon, will make the school perfect in this respect. We hear nothing but words of praise for Prof Angevine and his able, corps of teachers, and that the school is run­ ning in a very satisfactory manner is evident to all; The Board are doing their part to help the teachers in their work, and if the patrons do theirs a successful school year will be the result.

There is a suggestion that has morit in it. The Register has two subscribers who have not exhibited the color of their money in this office for six years. We would like to know that they are alive, and wish they would send us a lock of their hair, so we could see the color ot that; and if no hair grows on their sin­ ful remorseless old pates, please send us a lock of their dog's hair--for we war­ rant they always keep dogs.-- Whitewater Register.
