J Many from this locality went to j Woodstock, July 4, and viewed the parade, then turned their autos Greenwood way. There was a goodlynumber of people from Woodstock and several from near tjiere that helped swell the crowd at Greenwood. The people went where there was coo! shade and a grand welcome without feeling their pockjet books to celebrate the nation's birthday. Claud Guile ; and family and C. H. Mann and family from south of Woodstock were at the little village to celebrate and ! several from the county seat and they | received a hearty welcome. Considerable excitement was created one day last week whom It was reported that a fire was started in C. B. Durkee's hay field. Joe Herrer rents the hay land and had a goodly | lot cut and was putting it in the barn at Durkee's. He and his helpers were at the barn unloading. He left a fifteen year old J^oy raking and he ; amused himself By firing off firecrackers and set the hay on fire. He | ran to the barn, which wasoitt of I sight of the hay field, and gaVer the alarm. The meil at the barn came with water and old sacks and some of the neighbors that heard of it did the same. They succeeded in putting the fire out after about two hundred dollars worth was destroyed. I TERRA COTTA | Harvest hats at Erickson's store. j J. H.

The street oil has surely proven a wonderful thing. Especially was it appreciated over the Fourth of July holiday?. It's a safe bet that Johnsburg will never go another summer without having her streets oiled. The Johnsburg All Stafs traveled to Hartland last Sunday afternoon, where they suffered a 14 to 11 defeat at the hands of the home club. The Johnsburg boys aren't at all discouraged over the showing made. They will try and do better the next time. Frank Mathieu arrived at his home hece last week Thursday after a long theatrical tour which took him over the entire western circuit. Mr. Mathieu, needless to say, was glad to get back home, whei^ he expects to remain until the opening of the fall season. In other years he has taken on summer engagements, but this year he has planned^ to spend his vacation at home. Before a fair sized crowd of f&ns the Johnsburg baseball team took the St. John's of Elgin into camp to the tune of 6 to 4 last Sunday afternoon. Wedekind did the slabbing for the home team and, besides keeping the hits very well scattered, struck out sixteen men. Not a bad afternoon's work. Johnsburg is playing a real article of ball just now and is deserving of better support- than is being accorded the boys. Next Sunday the Elgin East Ends will be the attraction and as the team has gone to considerable expense in booking the visitors it is hoped that" the fans will give Jc all of lie fel- »* or terns Clipped From The Plaiaiealer Tweaty-ftve Team July 7, 1897 j " A handsome new flag adorned tJie Democratic liberty pole in this village on the 4th. John Homer sold his fine young gelding, "Centerville," last week to a party from DeKalb for $275. The measles are still raging, several little girls being taken Saturday while participating in the celebration at the park.

The funeral was field from St. Patrick's church in this vilage on Saturday morning and her remains laid at^rest in the cemetery adjoining. The grand opening and dedication of A. Engeln's new building on Satur day last was a grand success. Mr. Engeln, at his own expense, hired Webber's silver band of Chicago, who furnished more music to the square inch than any band we ever saw, The celebration of our national independence in this village on Saturday was a success in every particular and is pronounced by all as being one of the best celebrations ever held in the county. The parade was unique and no description we can give it would half do it justice. In it was repre fsented almost every business in the village and gotten up in style that ranged from the sublime to the ridic. ulous. i |* ^Tune 30,»189T . Our community was bom sh« and grieved on Sa»urday afternoon last when the news spread rapidl; thru our little village that Lillie ani Bennie Buss, children of B.

Guy left for Council, Idaho, more titan two years ago and evidently has taken very kindly to that country: 'I have been working for the forest service since May 1, fixing ranger station telephone lines, posting sheep trails thru the jungles, clearing pack trails, etc. Last week there was another fellow with me, helping build a sheep bridge and clear away some logs. "Next week we have fire school and after that we fix up and build some new telephone lines. After July 4 I will have a station and settle down to batching again in a house. "Last month I had blood poisoning in the third finger of my right hand and a carbuncle on my left,, so I had to lay off for a few daysr but everything is O. 1^. now. "Some day I will take a picture of my pack and saddle horses and send you one. They are good horses and will go anywhere you want them to go."
