He will enter upon his new duties the first <tf the year. Itr.

P. Aide of Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Aide, who has had many years of experience in the business, was employed at the local laundry last summer, but returned to Milwaukee early this fall with the expectation of opening a place of his own in that city. However, since his departure a deal has been satisfactorily consummated whereby he takes over Ed. Mischke's interest in the place and at the same time assumes the active management. Associated with him will be Arthur Gunzenhauser, who, with Mr. Mischke, Established* the Modern iaundry here about two years ago. However, Mr. Aide will handle the business alone during the winter months, but will be joined by his partner with the opening of spring. In a conversation with Mr. Aide a writer of The Flaindealer was informed that plans have been perfected whereby the building, in which the laundry is housed, is to be completed immediately, while a number of new pieces of machinery will be added to its equipment before the opening of the spring rush of business. We were further informed that the laundry enjoyed a very satisfactory business during the spring and summer season and Mr. Aide believes WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOOMS IN THIS VILLAGE AND ATE VICINITY musical numbers, altho the principal jthat the community will support a is about to take over and his numerous friends thruout the county are pleased to learn of his advance in the automo- j ^ these cards, bile world and trust some day to see him at the head of one of the Buick agencies.

The deceased attended the district sehool near his home and later took up a thoro business course in the Bryant & Stratton Business college, Chicago, giving special attention to mathematics and commercial law, and from which he graduated in 1869. Early in life he made himself useful as an assistant to his father, doing his full share toward the erection of the residence on the old homestead as well as the flour mill, both of which buildings were constructed from brick made ah the Hanly farm. He took much interest in sheep, acquiring as . high as seven hundred head in a single next week, Dec. 19, at which fame wl members are kindly asked Jo be characters will have considerable to do. As in former years, a large Christmas tree, beautifully decorated and illuminated, will occupy a conspicuous place at the Empire. All children of the community, under twelve years of age and who are present at the tree, will be presented with the usual treat and gift. The little folks will be taken care of first, after which the older ones will ho presented with their gifts. In order to make the work of the evening more easy for those who will have the tasks to perform, it has again been suggested to hand in or mail to Mrs. C. W. Goodell the names and ages of all the little folks who expect to be present at the tree this year. If the parents at the kiddies will attend to this at their very earliest convenience it will prove of great assistance to the committee in charge. Those who do not turn in their names prior to next Thursday night may hand them in as they enter the theatre. There will be someone at the good laundry the year round, thus his decision to return to McHenry and reopen the place. Mi*. Mischke, who thus gives up his interest in the business, will continue as employe at the Henry Kamholz hardware, where he has worked for a year or more. McHenry patrons of the laundry will no doubt be pleased to learn that the place is to reopen and if the home institution is given the patronage it deserves the business of the concern can be made a paying one, even-daring the winter months.
