Peter Bower, of Volo, has purchased 8. Johonnott's farm, south of Spring Grove, paying sixty dollars per acre. It is a good piece of property trad lie# on the new railroad. Simon Stoffel has received a fine line of fall and winter merchandise consist­ ing of clothing, underwear, shoes, etc., which he tells about in his ad. on the editorial paare this paper. The old well house that stood in front of the west side meat market has been removed to the lot occupied by the stand pipe. A decided improvement is thereby made in the street. Mud hens were slaughtered by the hundreds yesterday aod today. Nearly every ui»n in town possessing a gun and the price to buy the ammunition were at the Bay to join in the hnnt The foundation for N. H. Pike's house on the river is completed and the car­ penter work wiH soon commence. It will be a commodious dwelling,' two and one-half stories high, with nine-foot basement under the entire house. Gus. Carlson has contracted for adver­ tising space in this paper and this week has a few things to say about robes and blankets. He certainly has the best line ever seen in McHenry. There are some beauties and he is selling them right too. The Eld ridges, of Belvidere, who are heavily interested in the National Sew­ ing Machine company, have purchased 600 acres of land near Belyidere for a game yrwerve, A Wire, feiice twelve feet high is being tmilt'aiowirf the en­ tire property. Heavy frosts last week did its work to perfection. Hickory nuts have fallen to the ground and the small boy has been in his glory. The leaves are be­ ginning to take on a golden hne, and the idler and spend thrif t are wondering where their summer wages are at. The proper pronunciation of the President's family name is not as though it were Rusevelt, but Hose-re- velt. The family is sensative about such matters. The Roosevelt family is of Dutch origin, and therefore desirous that the family name should be proper­ ly enunciated. Wo have received from the Groom Music Company, Stein way Hall, Chi­ cago, several professional copies of their latest music. This company is putting out some good pieces, both vocal and instrumental, and will gladly examine authors' manuscripts with a view to their publication. It sets song words and music on a basis that pays a good profit to the author. We are pleased to note the merchants are endeavoring to olose their stores at eight o'clock every evening except Sat­ urday. This should meet with the ap­ proval of everyone, It is jnst as easy to do your shopping before eight •s after, and much better for the merchants and their clerks. When a man or woman is confined behind the counter from six or seven in tbe morn­ ing until nine at night, they surely do not get much pleasure ont of life. Simon Stoffel has decided' to give np hie outside work daring the fall and Will devote his entire time to the mer- chantile business. He has probably written more insurance during the past few years than any other agent in the county, and it has necessitated a great deal of uuubls muu plenty of bard work on his part. He does not intend to give up the insurance work by any means, .-.icr tp recuperate will discor. ttajue traveling for a while and transact aft business at his store.

Long, in charge of the co-operative creamery at Green­ wood, was visited by a Bloomington Pantagrapher and asked about the creameries of MoHenry county, and he spoke to the following effect: There are more creameries in Mc­ Henry county than in any other county of the state; there are two or three for every township; this is the leading in­ dustry; raising hogs comes next. It is calculated that the cows and heifers in milk on an average bring in about #40 a year; some herds do better and some not so well; individual cows Sonietinr»f« go high u 47? or *90 M year. The dairy tmslneea depends as much on the dairy man as the dairy; one man oan get a great deal more money out of it |han another. Some men take 955 to ttO per cow. Pretty good farming is done in this count and McHenry county farmers pretty good dftugmen. There is\ no great profit in tJwic dairy business, hut it is well developed in this country. - In the co-operatic creamery busi­ ness the patrons <iwn the stook; they deliver their milk to the creamery; it is made into batter and sold; once a month salaries and expenses are paid, and what is left ,of the proceeds is divided np among jthe patrons accord ing to the numhH of pounds of milk supplied by eabPkwtron aud the per cent of bntter fat n the milk as shown by the test.

The members of St Mary's church are making arrangements to hold a grand fair at Riverside hall for six days, November 18, 20, 21, 35, 36 and 27. It will surely be six days of pleasure and diversion for those who wish to take any interest in the affair. This offlce will probably get out a daily {taper for the occasion, it will be edited and man­ aged by Rev. Fr. Barth, thuti keeping the people in touch with events as they happen and offer a fine medium for ad­ vertising for the week, coming as it do«e, jnst a month before the holidays. Merchants should take advantage of this fact. Enongh copies will be print­ ed each day to reach every home in the township and surrounding suburbs. It will be noticed by the dates that the tair will not be held six consecutive days, but on Tuesday, Wednesday and Tharsday of one week and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the next, thae giving everyone a chance to at­ tend, and for those who wish to attend every day, the three days' rest will be appreciated.

Hnat, of Greenwood, Compiles a - Brief Pamphlet. Geo. A. Hunt, director of the Farm­ ers' Institute for the 11th congressional district, has issued a pamphlet on Mc­ Henry county, its recources, advantages and possibilities, says the Haryard Her­ ald. Tbe book contains 24 pages It is full of interesting facts, nicely writ­ ten, and Mr. Hunt has demonstrated the fact that he has a thorough knowledge of the statistics of the county and has done and is doing a good work in the interest of agriculture. The area of the oonnty is <11® square males and has a populalicn of about 80,- 000. The chief industries are agricul­ ture, dairying and tuelees there are i- laige numoer or manufacturing establishments in the county, where a great many hundred persons are employed. The soil over a large part of the county is asleep black loam with clay subsoil, admirably ad­ apted to retain moisture. There is very little untillable land and a crop failure has never been known. In speaking of the crops Mr. Hnnt says corn is the staple one, 100,000 acres being devoted to it. The average yield per acre is from 40 to 50 bushels, making a total of from 4,000,000 to 5,- 000,000 bushels annually. The oats crop is second in importance, the usual acreage being about 50,000 acres and the average yield from 85 to 45 bushelB per acre, making a total of 2,000,000 bushels or over anuually. There are about 2,000 acres devoted to potatoes, some of the best producers raising as high as 800 bushels to the acre. The average price paid is from 40 to 80 centB a bushel. TL wuuij lii»o 75,Jw dead of cattle, 10,000 head of sheep, 17,000 head of horses and colts and over 100,000 head of hogs and pigs. The valne of the out­ put of poultry and eggs exceeds $100,- 000 annually. McHenry oonnty is the center of the greatest dairy region in the world. The oouuty has 50,000 cows, from which 2,000,000 pounds of hatter and over 200,000,000 pounds of milk are sold an­ nually, bringing in to the farmers a revenue of between, $8,500,000 and $4,- 000,000 annually from these products alone.

Through lack of practice and for the want of a head the McHenry foot ball team suffered defeat last Saturday at the hands of eleven young men from Elgin, The home team had had no training or coaching to speak of and a few of those in the game never before wore shin guirds or padded pants. Tbe Elgin boys were thorough gentle­ men and our home team took ito medi­ cine without flinching. This week how­ ever the boys are training, and some­ thing may drop at the next game.1 The Social Dance, The daut*! gUeu at otouel'a ball last SafSrday night by the "Social Six" was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attend­ ance* The music consisted of piano, violin and cornet, the talent coming from Woodstock. There was not a large crowd, but a nice one, and every­ one was pleased with the outcome. The "-Social Six" expect to give these dances at regular intervals doling the coming season. ?

The boys were defeated last Saturday by tue Elgin South Enus, but it was only through lack of practice, they had plenty of the right kind of material. This week they are practic­ ing every evening and the prospects are that, a much better showing will be made next Saturday. The team from Woodstock is not particularly strong and tbe prospects are that they will bo evenly matched. H. C. Allen Dead. H. C.
