Frisby, passed away at the parental home near Terra Cotta on Monday, Jan. 7, 1924, at 12:30 o'clock following an illness that became serious but a few days before. Sympathy of friends and neighbors was unanimous in behalf of bereaved ones when they also reflected upon a like sorrow which befell the family a year ago in fthe loss Of their son, Francis. Beth -adlta had grown to manhood. \ Thomas Edward Frisby was born at McHenry, 01., May 27, 1901. His childhood days were spent on the farm. After finishing the course of education prescribed by the rural schools he entered McHenry high school an earnest student, graduating witKNfche class of 1919, afterwards receiving a certificate to teach school, a profession which he followed until this school year, when he accepted a clerical position in the city of Chicago,! which with his scholastic attainments h< filled satisfactorily up to the time of his sickness and death. His weekly visits to the home were a source of joy to his parents, sisters and brothers, for Thomas lived for others rather than "himself. He was not physically strong, but did not permit knowledge of this to influence his duties to church or home. Thomas demonstrated many exemplary traits of character in his young life, the outstanding ones being obedience to superiors and hfei inherent aim to do right. He was a member of the Holy Name society of St. Patrick's church and also a member of the local council, Knights of Columbus, always conscientious to the vows made in initiation. The decedent is survived by his parents, four sisters and two toothers, namely, Mrs. Herman Schaefer of this city, Mrs. Geo. Kuntsman of Hinsdale, 111., Mary, Ellen, James and George, Jr., in the parental home. His funeral was held on Thursday, Jan. 10. Requiem high mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's church, the beautiful new edifice recently completed, by the pastor, Rev. M. J. Mc- Evoy, who also preached the funeral sermon, expressing sorrow for the loss of this young man to the parish as well as home and community. Bearing his remains so tenderly to the cemetery adjoining,, where they were laid to rest beside his brother, Francis, were the following: Harold and Robert Knox, William Erwin, Harold Portman, Leo Gemway and George Phalin. „ ' "The faith that will not waver Cries I will trust Thee Lord, E«ten tho Thou slay I'll trust Thee, •Nor ever doubt Thy word.

The business session and election was preceded by a seven o'clock dinner as served by Landlord and Mrs. Fred J us ten. Needless to comment upon the "eats," as the general public is already well informed as to the high quality of food as served at this popular hostelry. The meeting was called .to order by President R. I. Overton. Secretary J us ten was first called upon to read the financial report of the club, which proved of interest to all. Prior to the election of officers considerable time was consumed in the discussion of matters appertaining to McHenry's free tourists' camp, the question of obtaining right-of-way for route 20 thru the city of McHenry, public bathing beech and several others of more or less importance. The consensus of opinion of the gathering as concering the tourist camp appeared to be that this asset f , t ^ to our city and community be con- Mr. and Mrs. John J.

It will be remembered that the approach to the river at the foot of Broad street, which for many years was used as a dumping ground and thereby proved an eyesore, was cleaned out and graveled more than a year ago, thus providing a clean bathing beach. George P. Howe of Chicago is now the owner of the Sam S. Rogers term, located on the cement road between this city and Woodstock. The farm consists of 260 acres. Mr. Howe is not new to the farming game as he has owned and operated a farm at Homewood, south of Chicago, for a number of years. He sold this farm to a golf club. According to Mr. Howe's present plans, he and his family will make their home on the farm during the summer months at least and as he has new home on Broad street last week, are this week cleaning up the place preparatory to its occupancy. The home, in our estimation one of the best and most conveniently arranged in the city, was planned and erected by Fred Karls, local contractor and builder.

H. King, J. M. McOmber and Ben Stilling. The reading of the financial report by Secretary Bassett proved the big surprise of the session. The report showed the total receipts of the year to have been $10,982.68, while the expenditures amounted to . $9,290.83, leaving a net balance of $1,69&35. Included in the expenses was a deficit amounting to several hundred dollars, which had existed at tile beginning of the year of 1923. The report further showed that the club's sinking fund amounted to $1,500, the entire amount of which has long since been put to work by the purchase of bonds. During the meeting it was also recommended that an additional $1,500 be similarly invested and as the members of the board of directors received the recommendation with much favor it is practically assured that $3,000 will be drawing interest during the year 1924. Another most gratifying item of revenue during the year was the guests' fees, the total amounting to with full basement underneath, includ $4,081.70, and in passing on this one Bohr, who deserves most of the credit; ing the space beneath the sun parlor! item we may say that there isnt an for bringing about the pleasing change I and porch.

At the conclusion of the election the new president was escorted to the head of the table, where he took charge of the meeting. After modestly thanking the assemblage for the honor that they had conferred upon him, giving them assurance that he would perform the duties connected with the office to the very beat of his ability, he asked for a rising vote of thanks to the outgoing officers for the splendid services tendered the dob during the year just ended. The president then called a fiveminute recess to give the officers and directors time in which to decide the the next meeting. off the interior beauties to very good advantage. Mr. Karls, the contractor, has received many fine compliments on his ability as a designer and builder and a visit to the home will convince anyone that he is worthy of the praiae that is being tendered him.

The members of the new club, besides last Sunday night's host and hostess, are Messrs. and Mesdames H. J. Schaffer, Albert Purvey, John R. Knox, M. J. Walsh and A. E. Nye. This was the second meeting of the club. PLANNING MORE LOTS M. A.

' -i/:* fbe annual meeting of the stockholders of the Spring Grove State bank was held in the directors' room of their beautiful new banking house last Saturday afternoon, at which time all of the old officers as well as members of the board of directors were re-elected for another year. The report of the bank showed a very substantial increase in business during the past twelve months. The officers as re-elected are Mathias J. Rauen, president; Carl* W. Stenger, vice president, and Alfred J. Richardson, cashier. The bank's total resources at the end of the year 1923 were $133,129.77, while the undivided profits amounted to $6,456.32. WOODMEN AND NEIGHBORS TO INSTALL OFFICERS existence that will be able to boast of a revenue as large. As will be' seen by the above, the local club is not only entirely free from debt, but at the same time shares the honor of a surplus which many ra larger dub would be very pleased to claim. If the club continues to prosper in the future as it has during the short two years in which it has been in ex istence (and we haven't doubt but that it will), it will be in a position to take advantage of its option by the purchase of the grounds at the expiration of ten years. From present indications the course should be in 100 per cent better playing condition the coming season than last year. The fairways are certain to show a vast improvement, while the new bunkers and traps as constructed during the latter part of last season will be all grassed oat, thus enhancing the beauty of the course to a great degree. Plans, as discussed at last Sunday's meeting, are quite certain to be fol-. lowed out this spring. Among these was to provide ways and means whereby the creek will at all times contain a clean, running stream of water. There will also be provided additional shade trees, shrubbery and an elevated natural tee on number, one. The shelter, which answered its purpose well for the first year, is also to be enlarged so as to provide a screened-in porch, a ladies' rest room, gents' smoking room, shower bath and very likely a number of lockers. Work on the new addition has already been started and will be completed long before the opening of the 1924 playing season. Albert Purvey, the ground-keeper, has been re-engaged for the year 1924, which assures the players that the grounds will be kept in first-class condition at all times. Harry Morris, who last year acted as professional for the club, has also been re-engaged for the coming season and will be on the grounds practically every day of the week. He will be given full charge of the club house, besides giving lessons to those desiring same. Mr. Morris will also arrange and take charge of all tournaments to be staged during the season. According to present plans there will be plenty of contests and tournaments during the coming year and all in all it looks as if he will bajcept well occupied during the season. As is only natural, the professional will also have on hand and make up all kinds of clubs and carry a complete like of golf goods. Mr. King, who thus steps from the office of president of the dub, has filled the position highly satisfactory to the members and in a manner which has reflected credit upon himself. He was tendered a vote of thanks by the mom1 >ers just before the close of Sun- It was upon his own The annual meeting of stockholders of the Fox River Valley State bank took place at the bank building on Monday morning of this week, at which time all of the old officers as well as members of the board of directors were re-elected for another year. The financial report as read showed that the bank is working out of the difficulties experienced about a ago in a most satisfactory manner In fact, the institution at this time is in far better condition than at time since it became a state bank. In order to bring abou( this gratifying condition the bank officials and directors subjected themselves to much hard work, during which many situations were gone thru that were neither easy nor the most pleasant of tasks. However, they feel that many things have been accomplished that will, in the future* mean added stabil- j ity and progress for their institution. Careftfily laid out plans for the future development, they hope, will ultimately return the Fox River Valley State bank to the same high level as enjoyed prior to ten months ago when unfortunate circumstances caused the loss of much of the prsetige enjsyed prior to that time. The officers and directors will continue their untiring efforts and will at all times conduct the affairs of the institution in a manner that will leave not the slightest doubt as to its stability. The officers and board of directors take this opportunity of expressing their most sincere thanks to the scores of depositors who have stood by the institution during the time that the bank was passing thru a rather critical stage and trust that the same, loyalty will continue to exist in the future. In return the offidals promise the public cordial treatment, safe banking methods and all favors that it is physically possible for them to bestow. The members of the institution fully realize and appreciate the fact that the difficulties experienced nearly a year ago caused more than a few to lose confidence in the institution and now that the bank has practically recovered from the effects of this unthe least | pleasant situation this confidence is sure to be returned. _ The officials are to be congratu-' NO. 38 MILK STRIKE ENDED JU ; c'rW"-?
