Prop The New Year dance at Stubby's hall was very well attended and everyone present enjoyed a most delightful evening. A number from here attended the funeral of the late Elizabeth Miller at St. Mary's church at MeHenry last Wednesday morning. - Miss Kathryn Regner, who is employed in Chicago, passed New Year's day as the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Regner, at Pistakee Lake. (Quite a number of oar men, who in precious years have put in several weeks in the ice fields, are becoming anxious lest this source of earning may not be afforded them. Quite a few of the people from this community, who held coupons on the automobile which was raffled off at MeHenry last Friday night, went to that village that evening, all hoping that they might be the holder of the lucky number. John Huff, who resides a short disance southwest of this village, on the MeHenry road, met with a very unfortunate as well as painful accident on Monday of this week, when a stone fell against his left limb and factured that member just above the ankle. The accident took place shortly after <i inner at a gravel pit at Palm Beach, on the east shore of Pistakee bay. Mr, Huff, with others, had been employed in widening the road near that point for three weeks past and on the morning- of the day the accident occurred he tried in vain to remove the stone which occupied a spot just over the pit in which he and others had been working. As the stone ascended it broke in two, the small piece striking Mr. Huff, with the result as given above. Had the stone not broken it is very doubtful if the accident would have occurred. Mr. Huff was taken to the office of Dr. N. J. Nye at MeHenry, where the fracture was set and an X-ray picture of same was taken. Later on he was removed to his home. The injury, one might easily imagine, is causing Mr. Huff considerable pain. His many friends were grieved to learn of the misfortune and. trust that the fracture will soon mend, altho at the best it will be several weeks before the victim will be able to use the member. The annual meeting of the MeHenry Township Mutual Fire Insurance company took place at Smith's hall here on Tuesday of this week, with about twenty-five of the eighty or more members in attendance. The report as read by the secretary was a most gratifying one, as it showed the total business of the company to have increased to the extent of $89,131 during the year just ended. The total insurance now in force is $220,838 and the officials of the company as well as the members thereof have every reason to feel proud of the record established. The company starts the new year with a balance of approximately $6,000 on hand and the prospects are that the coming year will prove equally as successful as has the one just ended. More and more of the farmers thruout this locality are coming to realize that the company offers the cheapest and safest insurance in existence today and with conservative men at the head the local insurance concern cannot help but flourish. During the year just ended only two policies were cancelled and these cancellations were the direct results of the sale of the farms covered by the policies. All told twenty-three new policies were written during the year. At the meeting on Tuesday it was voted to have the report of 1920 printed so that each of the members may be provided with a complete account of all business transacted during the year. A copy of this report is now in the hands of the printer and should be ready for distribution no later than the first of qext week. The officers elected and who will serve during the year 1921 are as follows: President, Wm. B. Tor.yan; vice president, Jacob Schmitt; secretary, Math. N. Scmhitt; treasurer, Jos. J. Freund; directors, Jos. J. Freund, Math. N. Schmitt and Hubert Freund. TERRA COTTA , Finest quality of winter underwear at Erickson's. . Robert Knox spent Friday last with Russell Allen at Cary.
