K. Welsh as circuit judge in this, the seventeenth judicial district, which ctmpwiM the counties of McHenry, Lake, Boone and Winnebago. Altfeo Earl D. Raynolds, Rockford lawyer, has been unanimously agreed upon to succeed Judge Welsh and as he will be unopposed, an election must be held just the same. Knowing of the coming election, a number of our citizens who appear quite anxious to see the McHenry road preposition brought to some head caused to be circulated in the town of McHenry a petition asking the right to place the question before the voters of the township on Sept. 26. The petition has been properly filed with the town clerk, Chas. B. Harmsen, and as a natural consequence McHenry township voters will be given an opportunity to express themselves for and against the Waukegan street entrance- into McHenry of route No. 20. The question, as £ will appear upon the printed ballot, will read: "Shall state band issue route -No. 20 cross FoxT river in the .city of McHenry at a point to intersect Waukegan road extended." According to our understanding of the question, the vote is'to determine whether the majority of the people of this township want to see route 20 enter and pass thru our municipality over Waukegan street. If you are in favor of this particular route you will vote yes, if your wish is to have the road enter our city at some other point you will vote no.

OPENING OF DANCING SEASON AT JOHNSBURG Hie opening dance of the fall and winter season at Jonas' hall, Johnsburg, will take place next Wednesday evening, Sept. 19.

E. church was the scene ef a very pretty wedding yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, when was solemnized the marriage of Miss Varina Mae Wentworth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth of this Aty, to James Julian Marshall of Champaign, 111. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Raymond Sanger, pastor of the M. E. church, in the presence of a host of relatives and friends. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Amy Lamphere, a cousin of the bride, and Romo Bobb as best man Hie bride's gown was of orchid crepe de chine with hat to match and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. Her attendant w$s dressed in rose colored crepe meteor and carried a bouquet ef pink tea roses. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding march, rendered by Mrs. Joseph C. Holly, proceeding to the altar, where the ceremony was performed before a bank of ferns and flowers in profusion. Following the service Mrs. Vaughan Jones, a schoolmate of the bride, sang "I Love You Dear" in her usual sweet way, after which they received the congratulations of their many friends. The bridal party and relatives then proceeded to the home of the firide, where a two course luncheon was served with covers for thirty being laid at the bride's table, the home being in yellow and White with a profusion of flowers. The bride is one of McHenry's fairest daughter^, a graduate of the McHenry high school of 1918 and for the last six months has been a faithful employe at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, She has also been a very active member in church work, a member of the choir and also secretary and treasurer of the Sunday school, where she will be greatly missed. The groom is the fourth son of Mrs. Jane Marshall %f Champaign, 111. During the World war he was «t»» tioned at Camp Humphrey, Virginia, as sergeant in the 342nd bakery company and for the past six months has been foreman in the Perfect System bakery at West McHenry, where he has won the respect and esteem of all who know him. Mr. tmd Mrs. Marshall left immediately for their future home in Champaign, where the groom, with the assistance of his brother, will enter into business for himself The bride's traveling costume was of midnight blue crepe with hat to match. They will be at home to their friends at 1302 N. Champaign St., Champaign, 111. Out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Perry Thompson of Lake Geneva, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hench of Dundee, Mrs. Joseph Hahn of Racine, Wis., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Abrons of Rockford, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lamphere and son, Donald, of Elgin, Mr, and Mrs. Edgar Mills of Carpentersville, Mrs. Jake Wentworth and daughter, Jane, of Belvidere, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Gierke and Miss Florence Hatton of Chicago M'HENRY LYCEUM COURSE CONTRACT SIGNED FOR FIVE EXCELLENT NUMBERS That McHenry is assured ef another excellent series of lyceum entertainmerts for the coming fall and winter months is seen by the fact that a contract has been signed with the Redgath Bureau for five numbers. <• The numbers and dates upon which they are to be presented are as follows: Montague light opera singers, Oct. 13, 1923; Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Wells, presenting musical and dramatic sketches, Nov. 23, 1923; the Harp Novelty company, Dec. 13, 1923; Edwood Tewksbury Bailey, popular lecturer, Jan. 16, 1924; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clemens, featuring their marionettes, Feb. 21, 1924. ' Altho the contract has been signed by Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church, the pastor wishes to have it distinctly understood that the course will be a strictly community and not a church affair and therefore he asks the co-operation of every citizen of this community in making the coming course a success. Rev. McEvoy informed The Plaindealer this week that he was not looking to make any money out of the course, but would feel well repaid for his efforts if the public will respond to such an extent as to make the series of entertainments self sustaining He believes that there are enough people in this community who appreciate the class of entertainments that are to be brought here by the Redpath Bureau that will insuj^ him against loss and therefore has taken it upon himself to contract for the five numbers mentioned above. Season tickets for the entire series have already been placed on sale and are being sold at $2.00 each. Hie prices of single admission tickets will vary and will be based upon the cost of the entertainment provided. For instance, the opening number, the Montague light opera singers, which is the most expensive number of the entire course, the single admission charge will be $1.00. Thus it may be seen that it behooves one to buy a season ticket and thereby assure himself of high-class entertainment at a very small cost. Rev. McEvoy has also arranged with the superintendent of the community high school whereby a cash prize is offered to the high school student giving the best review of the entertainments as they appear. The entrants in thia contest will write their stories in their own way and then hand or send them into the judges to be named later. The winner's story will appear in the columns of The Plaindealer following each entertainment. All of the numbers will be given at St. Patrick's church hall and holders of season tickets are kindly asked to have their seats reserved prior to each entertainment. Reserved seats will be placed on sale at the store of Ray McGee at least one week in advance. Let everyone be impressed with the fa<£ that the coming series will be a community undertaking and not an exclusive church event. More will be said abotlt the opening number, which is. to take place next month, in later issues of Hie Plaindealer. LONG TRIE RESIDENT WAS J. F SMITH, WHO PASSED AWAY SATURDAY CONDUCTED JEWELRY STORE HERE FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS Death claimed another of McHenry's long-time business men last Saturday morning when J. P. Smith of this city was called to his reward after an illness of more than three months. John Park Smith, youngest and the last surviving member of a family of nine children, was the son of Rufus and Hannah Smith. He was born at Guilford, N. Y., on May 8, 1858. Here he grew to manhood and received his schooling. At the age of eighteen he started as an apprentice in the jewelry shop of his brother, William R. Smith, at that time conducted in the town of his birth. After completing his apprenticeship he went to Harpersville, N. Y., where he started a shop of his own and which he continued to conilduct for a few years. More than forty years ago he and his brother, under whom he had learned the jewelry and watchmaking business, came to McHenry, where they opened a shop in the store building now owned and occupied by M. M. Niesen. The building' at that time was owned by the late Richard Bishop. About a year later the firm dissolved partnership, the senior member disposing of his interest in the business to the junior partner. Shortly after this Mr. Smith purchased the ground and erected the present building on Elm street wherein he has been located these many years and where he continued to carry on his jewelry and watchmaking business up until the time of his last illness, which overtook him W the 26th day of last May. During the many years he made this city his home he has proved himself an .esteemed citizen, while his forty odd years as one of McHenry's business men is a distinction borne by few who have made their home here. He wa quiet in manner and never took an active part in local politics, therefore he never sought nor held office of any. kind. Fraternally he was a member of Valley camp, M. W. A., of this city, which he joined many years ago. Mr. Smith was united in marriage to Dorasana Patterson at Gilberts ville, N. Y., on Feb. 14, 1872. Only one child was born to the union, Mrs. T. L. Kimball of Chicago, who, with her mother, is left to survive. The funeral took place from his late home at 2:00 o'clock on Monday afternoon of this week. Rev. Raymond Sanger, pastor of the first Methodist church of this .city, officiated, while interment was made in Woodland cemetery. The sympathy of our people goes out to the sorrowing widow and daughter. THE FUTURE OF M'HENRY AS SEEN BY ONE OF OUB HIGHLY ESTEEMED RESOl ft Is about time the business men and the property owners of McHenry awoke to the situation that confronts them in the very near future in relation to the concrete road. In every direction, north, south, east and west, concrete roads are being completed and as fast as a road is completed it attracts the automobile driver. Chicago is the great center from which the automobile moves in every direction. McHenry, with her Fox river, has attracted her share of the traffic, but she only had dirt road competition. Without a concrete road to compete with other towns cities having concrete roads, how is she going, to hold her share of the travel ? Well, If the history of railroad building has any relation to concrete roads of the present day, it will spell disaster for the towns and villages left with only dirt roads. Numerous cases could be cited where little cities were so prosperous and independent they thought the railroads had to build to them anyhow, while other and less pretentious communities assisted the railroads. The result was that many enterprising hamlets sprang into cities, while the others simply remained at a standstill. Is this to be the fate of McHenry? It is about time the welfare of the town is being considered rather than a few individuals. There is no question that similarity exists between the railroad in its day and the concrete road of today. It is plain that the Chicago traffic is being diverted away from McHenry every time a new concrete road is completed to some other town. Now how would McHenry like to lose all her traffic from Chicago? The Fox river is a long stream and many attractive towns are located along its banks, besides Lake county is full of beautiful lakes and Lake county is completing concrete roads each year. The great question is not where the concrete road is going to cross the river; the important thing is to cross it and cross it soon, at least before other cities and towns take away a large portion of our trade. Once lose trade and it is another tiling to get it back--most of it will never re turn. J. M. Cox.

Freund, State Normal, DeKalb, Ill| There may be othen from this community who ha"ve entered or plan to enter schools, but the above are all that have been brought to our notice. BUICK DEALERS GIVEN LARGER TERRITORY FIRST CEMENT ROAD IN McHENRY TOWNSHIP Overton A Cowen, local Buick car sales agents, have had their territory enlarged and several sub agents added to their selling zone. Marengo and Woodstock remain in their selling area, while an enlarged field has been granted them in western Lake county. The firm, which maintains large garages in this city and Harvard, has just closed a most successful automobile year, ending Aug. 1, and, according to indications, the nevfr year just started will prove equally as successful. McHenry township last wtk witnessed the construction of its first fement road, when the road gang forking on the McHenry-Woodstock stretch started laying cement on the McHenry end of this section. Every one is hoping that weather conditions will make it possible for the contrac tors to complete the job by fall. This may also be said of the road builders now at work between this city and Volo. However, unless a more suitable brand of weather is dished out than has been experienced during the past three weeks there is little hope of completing either one of the roads this falL INCREASED ATTENDANCE AT BOTH SCHOOLS The community high and McHenry grade schools opened last Monday morning. The high school attendance showed a very fine increase over last year the total number of pupils entered on the opening day being.144 as compared with 117 a year ago. The grade attendance also proved above expectations, each grade having about five more pupils than had been anticipated. In spite of the increased attendance in the high school, the work is going along very nicely, the large classes being handled without the slightest sign of inconvenience! MRS. BUSS TO HOSPITAL Her many friends will be tfeepfy grieved to learn that Mrs. Edward J. Buss was taken to the Oak Park hospital, Chicago, on Monday morning of this week, where die is now taking treatment. All hopq, tha$ the trip to the Oak Park institution will prove greatly beneficial Md that she may soon fuUy recover! fibi i*r present trouble. Several social functions, in honor of Miss Varina Wentworth of this city, who became the bride of James J. Marshall on Wednesday, were held during the past week. Last Thursday, at a meeting of the L. A, S. of the M. E. church at the home of Mrs. C. H. Duker, she was the guest of honor at a shower. The afternoon was spent at games, followed by a delicious luncheon. She was presented with a* beautiful comforter. On Friday evening the members of the Epworth League gave her a shower at the home of her sister, Mrs. S. J. Frazer. Twenty-one young people were in attendance. Games made up a most delightful evening, after which lunch was served. On this occasion she was the recipient of a pair of down pillows. On Sunday evening her parents entertained at a dinner in her honor. ALGONQUIN AND ANTHXW MEET AGAIN NEXT SUNDAY Every fan in McHenry and Lake counties is going to see the battle between the Algonquin and Antioch baseball -teams on the McHenry diamond next Sunday afternoon. Altho the managers of both teams are confident that their boys will put over a win in the regulation nine innings, there is no tolling what will happen. Last Sunday the two teams battled sixteen innings to a 4 to 4 tie. Fifteen hundred people saw the game last Sunday, next Sunday the crowd will be still larger. y i. JL HAUSWIRTH ACCEPTS INDIOLA AGENCY JT. E. Hauswirth has accepted the agency of the Indiola Tea company in this territory and last week succeeded G. E. Schoel, who has served as the company's representative here during the past year or more. The local agent's route covers most of the towns in this immediate locality as well as a number of places in lake and lower Wisconsin. Martin A. Howell of Chicago, who has a summer home at Howell's Villa, and is a most enthusiastic member of the Chapel Hill Country club, entertained a number of his Chicago friends at a handicap golf tournament last Friday. The visitors drove out from the city in machines, arriving at the Chapel Hill grounds at about nine o'clock in the morning. It was decided before the tournament that each participant put in $10 and as there were seventeen entrants this made up a "pot" of $170, to be divided among four winners. Next the names of the seventeen gentlemen were written on cards and a drawing made, the agreement being that the actual winners at the prizes turn over their spoils to the gentlemen whose names they had drawn. There was also one special prise, a cup donated by Martin A. Howell, this to go to the player making the lowest net score. Twenty-seven holes were played and the scores made/together with the handicaps and net scores, follow: Hdp, Net W. P. Carnej « M 41 Balph Ensign tt 41 43 Dr, Mlckstroth a 41 44 W. J.

Howell not only won the low high honors for the four money prises, but also came in for the cup donated by his brother with a net score of 91. Edwin Read was second, Roy Huszagh, third, and L. P. Rittenhouse, fourth. ' Altho he did not come in for the first prise Mr. Hussagh came in for an honor held by very few golfers by making the No. 5 hole in one stroke. This distinction. is worth more to a real golf bog than all of the c«pe in existence. A luncheon was served the guests of the day at noon, while a delicious dinner was enjoyed in the evening. The visitors returned home that evening very well pleased with the day's opting and the manner in which they had been entertained by their host. 1» us 198 10S no 12S 1» la 117 10S 117 158 191 112 130 112 127 tftt #7H St 104 SI "107 MM 07H tt M a 104 IS 116 § 18 104 tt » 1* 98 ft 06 9? m m 156 1«M «7H IS 102 St »1 18 106 WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING it THIS VILLAGE AND IMMEDRfr ATE VICINITY Hemstitching and picoting promptly at the Agatha Shop. ^ M.
