Alex Beaubian has invested here. A deal was closed last week between the McHenry Realty company, owners of a beautiful wooded tract located on the east shore of Fox river south of this village, and Mr. Beaubian whereby the W aukegan attorney became the owner of the log cabin and the lot upon which it stands. Mr. Beaubian visited the spot only a few weeks ago and se impressed was he with the location as well as the natural beauties of the surroundings that he spent very little time in deliberating and as a consequence he and his estimable family will be classed among McHenry's rapidly growing Hummer colony with the opening of the neit summer season. The log cabin, one of the classiest of its kind ever erected in this community, .has been a show place for many months and now that same has been purchased by a man of considerable influence it looks as if the entire subdivision is to be greatly benefitted. Iii fact, we are told that "since the sate of the property to the Waukegan lawyer, a number of other Waukegan people have visited the tract and that more of Lake county's citizens will invest in lots before the opening of the 1923 summer season. It may be the means of establishing an entire Waukegan colony at this particular point. The Fox River Realty company has been successful in the sale of quite a large number of lots during the present year, while the prospects point to a bigger boom in 1923. The tract, during the past summer, has been greatly improved, the lagoon is about completed, the river front has been leveled otf and scores of other changes have been made that adds to the attractiveness of the grounds.

Hazlehurst, for many years a prominent lawyer at Elpin, but now of Los Angeles, Calif., appears to be gaining considerable of a reputation as a lawyer among the movie folks. Listed among his clients is Miss Mildred Harris, ex-wife of Charley Chaplin. Another client is Jess Willard, former world's chain pion heavy weight pugilist. Altho she had left bat a small estate, Mrs. Addie Cornue, who passed away at Harvard a short time ago, did not forget to leave a small sum to the Presbyterian church of that city, of which she was a member. Her will Dr. C. H. Fegers, retired McHenry physician, figured in an automobile collision in Chicago on Monday afternoon and fortunately came out with but a few bruises on the left side of his forehead. The doctor, with Eugene McGoe of Chicago as the driver, was riding north on Michigan avenue in a Ford touring car when suddenly and without sufficient warning for Mr. McGee to avoid the collision » big Nash touring car, occupied by a man and wpman, crashed into the left front end of their machine, patting same out of commission. In the compact the McHenry physician was thrown up against the top with the result as given above. He left the machine in a sort of a dazed condition and was assisted over to the Chicago Automobile club headquarters, in front of which place the accident occurred. As near as the doctor was able to ascertain the driver of the Nash had attempted to pass a car ahead of him and in so doing lost entire control of his machine, with the result that the car shot directly across the pavement and thence into the Ford. The local doctor, after a short rest at the Chicago club, was taken to the Northwestern station via taxi and was able to return home unaccompanied. He is now resting at his home here and will again be able to he ap and around very shortly. First reports circulated about the village were to the effect that the doctor had been quite seriously injured, but his many friends here and thruout the county will be pleased to learn that the injuries sustained were of a minor nature. An Ekpecially Pleasing Program Is Presented at School Auditorium-- Leave Youi* Contributions Early The little folks of McHenry and the surrounding community are assured of another community Christmas tree this year. , This has been made possible thru the efforts of Mrs. Chas. W. Goodell and a number of other kind hearted ladies of the village who have been working towards tills end for some time past. One of the means undertaken to secure funds with which to finance the tree was the holding of a concert at the McHenry school auditorium last Thursday evening, the net proceeds of which amounted to $71.85. The entertainment was an exceptionally delightful one and greatly pleased those present. C. W. Stenger was honored by being made chairman of the occasion arid, after explaining the purpose of the entertainment, announced the number^ on the program. The contributors. to the program, in the order that they appeared, were: The McHenry high school Glee club under the direction of Miss Ashburner; vocal solo by Miss Varina Wentworth accompanied by Miss Greeta Chamberlin; Miss Beulah Larkin of Crystal Lake in a reading; Mrs. J. C. Holly, accompanied by Mrs. C. W. Goodell, in a vocal solo; pi^no duet by Misses Leone Givens and Carolyn Steffes; solo by Rev. M. J. McEvoy, the pqpular McHenry pastor playing his own accompaniment; Miss Larkin in a reading; Miss Mildred Welch in a vocal solo, accompanied by Mrs. C. W. Goodell; Mrs. Holly in a vocai solo. Each and every number of the program was .roundly applauded, thus givng unmistakable evidence that the audience was well pleased. Just before the . l^st number the chairman of the evening called upon Mrs. Goodell for remarks, the speaker introducing her as the mother of McHenry's community Christmas tree. Mrs. Goodell, in her usual pleasing manner, wished it understood that the credit for McHenry's community spirit did not belong to her alone and went on to say that without the splendid co-operation of the many kind people of McHenry and vicinity success could not have been attained. She cordially thanked the people for the assistance given this very worthy cause and concluded her remarks by saying that there would, not be any solicitation of funds this year and those wishing to help the good work along could do so by sending in their contributions. The Plaindealer heartily endorses this community Christmas spirit and sincerely hopes that McHenry's charity in this direction will make this year's tree even bigger than that of laat The third number of the Dennis Ijfceum coarse, as sponsored by St, Patrick's Catholic church of this village, will be the Mendelssohn Musical club, which will appear at the Empire theatre on Monday evening, Dec. 4. The field for such an organization is well established. Several years ago another orchestra demonstrated thai instrumental program could be BIG PHJ9CAL TREAT DEC. 6 TO BE SPONSORED BY McHENRY MILITARY BAND made delightful without recourse to drums and "jazz" as it is now known. Now the Mendelssohn Musical club comes to us as a superior organization to anything we have heard for a long time. The uniqueness of their work lies in the fact that altho ultra popular music does not find a place on their program, they have the knack of playing the music of the better class of modern composers and of the masters in a way that is fascinating. "A program of good music you want tq hear" might describe their work. Beautiful music, played in an interesting way> not coldly classical nor yet common and cheap, belongs in everyone's life. The Mendelssohn Musical club ensemble combines all of the precision and correctness of the recital with the human touch of the genius. As suggested in the name--Mendelssohn-- much of the music is the product of that master mind of musical literature. The Mid-Summer Night's Prapui Will Be One of Great Merit --Chicago Artists of Ability Will Be Brought to Empire Theatre One of the most elaborate musical programs ever offered the public of McHenry county will be sponsored by the McHenry military band and held at the Empire theatre on Wednesday evening of next week, Dec. 6. The band, which has added a number of new pieces since last summer, now represents one of the best; if not the best, musical organizations of which McHenry has even been able to boast. Each and every member is putting his very heart and soul into the work and judging from the manner in which the rehearsals are being put over, their contributions to the very splendid program will be the best ever. The program arranged for the occasion is as follows: Washington Post March Somsa McHenry Band Overture--King Lear... .Edw. Hazel McHentV Band Baritone Solo--Fascination. *...... C. L.

The hall and settings for the big event were never more attractive and the manner in which the big crowd appears to be mingling evinces the feeling of good fellowship. The small army of workers, enthused to the very highest pitch, is going about its work in a spirit that attracts and even at this early date we feel safe in predicting that this year's occasion will prove a big social as yell'as financial success. Today, Thanksgiving, is the one big as well as closing day. A big Thanksgiving dinner will be served at noon, while a most appetizing supper will be dished up in the evening. Tonight the Legion hall will undoubtedly be to its utmost capacity as, like the circus, everyone wants to be there for the finale. Accepts Milwaukee Position Miss Elizabeth K. Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Miller of this village, on Monday morning of this week started wcrk in the mailing department of the Bor.ton store at Milwaukee, Wis. Miss Miller for a number of years was employed at the Mc Henry postoffice and her experience there has assisted greatly in fitting her for the position she has thus accepted in the Wisconsin metropolis.

Eddy Coe, formerly with the Six Brown Brothers just referred *to, is sure to afford the audience a real musical treat, whila Miss Eleanor Phalin of this village, a reader of more than ordinary ability, will add very materially to the evening's program. According to latest information the advance sale of seats is even greater than had been the bandmen's fondest expectations and in order to get in on this rare musical treat it behooves one to get their seat in advance. That the Empire theatre will be packed to its utmost capacity is a foregone conclusion as the event is well advertised and is bound to attract Tnuafr lovers from various parts of .the county. • Overall aad Apron Party The members of the Onwego club and a few invited guests enjoyed an overall and apron party at the Woodman hall here last Saturday evening.
