The recent cold snap has stopped work at Pistakee Bay and consequently put a number of our people out of work. These men are now looking forward to the* opening of the ice harvesting season. The Plaindealer is very desirous of securing a regular correspondent at Johnsburg, one who will send uus a news letter each week. Anyone interested and wishing to take up the work will kindly communicate with us. Very few of our voters 'turned out to express themselves at Tuesday's election. Apparently our people were not sufficiently interested or well enough informed on the new proposed constitution to induce them to go to the polls The JohnsSurg Gun club will hold a target shoot at Jos. J. Mertes' at Pistakee Bay on Sunday, Dec. 24. The shooting Will start at ten o'clock in the morning and continue thruout the day. There will be plenty of shells on the grounds and a good, warm room and refreshments will be provided. All lovers of the sport arc invited to participate. In appreciation of the services rendered during the recent bazaar the members of the McHenry Military band were most delightfully entertained by* a number of our citizens at Jos. Michels* place on Tuesday evening of this "Week. The band men brought their instruments along and played numerous selections during the evening, which were heartily received by those who had gathered for the social occasion. Light refreshment were served during the evening. The festive occasion came to a close at about the midnight hour and the band members surely appreciate the treatment received at the hands of their Johnsburg hosts. Several exceptionally fine marksmen are being developed here as a re suit of the trap shoots that have been held in the vicinity during the past several weeks. ~ Frank Freund, who has won fame here as a baseball pitcher and general all-around player, has developed into a regular sharpshooter and as a consequence has set up some records this fall that are destined to stand for some time to come. In the series of shoots con ducted at the Bald Knob hotel grounds at Pistakee Bay Frank carried away most of the honors. Joe TTielen and Steve King are two otheis who have been smashing the blue rocks with marked regularity. The members of St. Johannes court, No. 96, C. O. F., of this place will give a benefit dance at Kloepfer's hall here on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 2, the net proceeds of which will be turned over to Joseph Schmitt, a brother member who a short time ago met with the sad misfortune of having his arm badly crushed in a corn shredder as'to make amputation necessary. Every member of the court has taken it upon himself to do everything pos sible to make the event a big social as well as financial success. Mr. Kloepfer, who recently purchased the Stephen H. Smith property here and thus makes him the proprietor of what was formerly known as "Stubby's" hall, has kindly extended the use of his place and will have the hall in A No. 1 condition for the occasion. . The total receipts of the bazaar, recently held (pr the benefit of St. John's church, amounted to $1615.00, while the expenses totaled $315, thus leaving a net balance of $1,300, which has been placed in the treasury of the church. This result is considerably larger than a year ago, for which the pastor and his parishioners are truly thankful. They wish to express their appreciation for the excellent work done by the committees anM workers, to the general public and to the members of the McHenry Military band, which supplied the music and thereby made the closing day such an enjoyable occasion. It is the plan of the pastor to make much needed repairs on the church some day and for this reason is accumulating a fund that will defray these expenses. Just how soon these repairs can and will be made is not known at this time. However, it is the sincere hope of the pastor that the church fund will grow sufficiently within the course of the next two or three years to allow the improvements to be made without placing an extra burden upon tile shoulders of the parishioners. Rev. Stephen Wolfgarten? a former pastor, but now of Germany, read mass here last Sunday morning and made an appeal for alms for a new church to be erected ia a very poor district in the old country. As a re-^ suit of his appeal $154.01 was collected. The pastor's aim is to collect approximately $3,000 in this country and from the manner in which the good people have responded wherever he has made an appeal it looks as if the goal will be reached within the course-of the next few months. He arrived in this country from Germany iMt. swm,9, pwsgTnm. this ciffoslf the in this vicinity nllkfc be ImspiamMd to visit are OUMmkv Awora* Tiwrii, Rockford and several n|jgin He also plans on a visit to fi^aRjue, la., and Milwaukee, Wis. Needless to say that Rev. Wolfgarten is vMry gtftUlU for the liberality as displajpl} by Ids former parisfcionsrs here. He gave up an excellent S&jurge at Sterling, 111., to make this great sacrifice fee the poor people over in Germany. RINGWOOD Get your Christmas candies at Vycital's.
