Samuel Simmons waft born in Chitten­ den, Vfc., in October. 1801, and died in Ringwood, III., Feb. 17th. 1894, in the ninety-third year of his age. He re­ moved to Illinois in 1853 and lived in the village of Ringwood till the time of his death. He was converted when only eleven years of age, and was a church member more -than eighty-twu years. He was a class leader in the M* E. church more than sixty years. Bro. Simmons was a consistent, ear­ nest christian. He loved the church of his choice and was always ready to help in all her good enterprises. He was a prayer meeting christian, and during twenty five years we always found him in his place in those meetings. During the last three or four years of his life his memory failed and the intellect was clouded. Some times he failed to recog­ nize his own children, but he never for­ got the Savior whom he found when a little boy among the Green Mountains of Vermont. We shall see him on earth no more but we feel that"Gar loss is his eternal gain."

The way it is conducted is this. A commit­ tee of six is appointed to assess fines and no one but them is informed of the rules until some infraction costs him or her two cents. There are fines for coming too late, for coming without a lady, for loud talking, for awkardness at the table, for married men talking to other men's wives, and in fac^ for nearly everything. If a person thinks a fine unjust heappeals to a jury, but the jury costs two eenta each and the judge five cents. . A SOUTHERN Missouri editor carries off the belt. He says- "Some time ago our little baby's finger ring was missing and could not be found. When last seen the child had it on and was feeding some chickens, but no trace of it could be found and the subject was dismissed until yes­ terday, when one of our hens came off with a brood of chickens, and lo! behold around the neck of one of the tiny crea­ tures was the baby's ring. Our presump­ tion is that the hen swallowed the ring, but how on earth did it get aronad the little chicken's neck? v . . . - * * ^ ON Friday evening of last week a local Forum of the H. F. B. O. was organised at Nunda,by Mrs. F. Morgan, organiser, and the members are among the best citizens of the village. The object of the H. F. B. O. is to furnish protection to the home, and is reeogmsed as a feasible and cheap plan of life assurance. The officers of Nunda- Forum are: President, Miss Phemia Whyte; Vice PreB., Wm. Keller; 2nd Vice Pres., Mrs. Ella Hub­ bard; Orator, G. L. Hubbard; Assistant, Eunice E. Mallory; Historian, George Bryant; Treasurer, Herman Freye; Sec., Jas. Whyte; Porter, Mrs. Hattie Freye; Guard. Tyler Huffman; Directors, C. E. Rowley, F. Hobart, Geo. Bryant; Physi­ cian, Dr. C. C. Watson. Visiting companions will always be welcome and each of the thirty members shall make it a point to show the advan­ tages of the society as compared with any or all others. On the occasion of organizing Dr. McKinnie, of Chicago, Grand President of the order delivered a very able address on fraternal orders, which was well received by a large au­ dience. Caught a Pickerel. Dr. Howe the emminent specialist in (^diseases of the respiratory organs,) well known to the medical profession "as the inventor of the Direct Method of treating diseased Mucus surfaces and whose unique apparatus and appliances, to­ gether with the popular Amick remedy have been tested and favorably reported upon by over twenty thousand physicians located in all parts of the country, has arranged to make regular visits to Mc­ Henry. combining business with pleasure. The Doctor is quite a sportsmen with the rod,J On Thursday he brought in fwofine pickerel weighing 22 pounds and a fine black bass, the largest catch of the first day of the season at Grass Lake. "A MAN living in Barrington had bis chicken house invaded on Tuesday night, and every one of his fowls were stolen. But unexpected recompense came in the morning. When the man went to the henhouse to Bee if he could find any trace of the thief he was surprised to find upon the floor a pocketbook. He was still more astonished upon opening it to find that it contained $92 in cash and several hundred dollars in notes. The notes and other papers disclosed the identity of the thief, but at last accounts he had not called for his lost property, and the man who lost the hens was saying nothing." So says the Dundee correspondent of the Elgin Courier. AUDITOR'S MEETING*. The annual meeting of the Board of Town Auditors for the town of McHenry, will be held at theCity Hall, in the village of McHenry, on Tuesday, March 27th, 1894, for the purpose of auditing all claims against said town for the past year.

Thompson's was a success socially and financially, the amount cleared being aboiit fifteen dollars. Mr. Wood and family will soon move to Fred Collisons where they have been engaged to work for the coming season. We pwli it satisfactian on both sides of the bargain. A Local Forum, No. 124, was formed here some time since by Mrs. Fred Morgan who is at work in Nunda at present, where she ha* secured about thirty members. The object is cheap insurance and is endorsed everywhere by the M. W. A. and kindred societies, t Miss Millie Lawson and pupils enter­ tained the former's father, mother, broth­ er, and Carl Fay, Luella Carr and Lucy Dodge on Friday evening Feb. 23d, at the school taught by Miss Lawson near Woodstock. It was an exhibition, of course, and all were loud in their praise of the exercises and entertainment. On Friday afternoon Feb. 16th, the pupils of our school, led by their teachers and iu the presence of a goodly number of visiting pupils gave a flag exercise and raised "Old Glory" above the new school house. It had been our fiitention to write it up two weeks ago, but were not permitted to do so owing to oth6r work. The exercises were full of good American sentiment, and in harmony with the spirit of Americanism. Should we men­ tion those who did well, the names of all who took part would grace the list. We are eoing to depart from that time hon­ ored custom of not offending any one, but trust we only express the mind of those present when we name Miss Myrtle Stevens as doing exceedingly well in her recitation. Her expression was so in keeping with the high sentiment of the piece and the solemnity of the occasion, and was so like her own words, springing from a heart full of devotion to the flag, that we have taken the liberty to name hers as a most eloquent appeal for loyalty to "Old Glory" and all it stands for. At the close of the exercises two old soldiers, Wm. Harrison and Lou Mc- Cannan drew the flag of our country in­ to position and Mr. Fay proposed three hearty cheers which were lustily given and all departed well pleased with the afternoons entertainment.

WOODSTOCK, III., March 3rd. Mas. M. C. DALDY says that after suffer­ ing severely with Asthma for seventeen years, which often threatened her life, and kept her under the care of a doctor most of the time, she began treatment with Dr. Howe last September and has been entirely free from any symptoms of the disease since the first month's treatment, whereas before she was never free from the dreadful attacks more than two or three weeks at the longest. JOHN M. DONNELLY says; For several years I had been troubled with Catarrah of the nose and throat. Finally my hearing became impaired and the Catarrh settled on my lungs. My doctorcalled it consumption. Dr. Howe cured me com­ pletely in less than eight weeks. I have gained 28 pounds and feel perfectly well and work without becoming fatigued. Before beginning treatment with Dr. Howe I had to give up business entirely and all hope for my recovery had been abandoned. I regard my cure as little short of a miracle. Miss MINNIE STRAUME was cured of a disease which had confined her to the house for seven years and about which the doctors disagreed in their diagnosis. Some called it general debility and ner­ vous prostration, while others pronoun­ ced it consumption, but all agreed that her case was a hopeless one. Dr. Howe made a careful and thorough examina­ tion of the patient for the first time Sep­ tember 3d 1893 and said that he found all of the Mucus surfaces in a state of chronic inflammation, which in his opinion was the cause of all her trouhle. Under his system of treatment Miss Straume was completely cured in two months and is now enjoying perfect health, Many permanent cures in obstinate and difficult cases of Bronchitis, Catarah, Catarrahal deafness, Asthma and kin­ dred diseases are told by men and women of the highest standing in their communities^, but space will not permit of their publication in this issue.
