Ralph Thompson is no longer deputy sheriff at Harvard, he having turned in his star to Sheriff Edinger at Woodstock last Thursday. Two hundred ancffifty people attended the twenty-sixth annual W. R. C. danee as held at Memorial hall, Richmond, on a recent evening. The Woodstock post, American Legion, cleared almost $500 as the result of their annual minstrel show field in that city t*~c weeks ago. It looks as if Richmond is to elect a new town clerk this spring. J. T. Bower, who has held the office during the past twenty-three years, will not be a candidate. Theodore Hamer, for many years circuit clerk of McHeury county, has returned to his home at Woodstock from a two months' business North Carolina. Charles Wightman of Grayslake is the latest entrant in the state senate race. He filed his petition at Springfield last Friday* morning and will make the race on the Democratic ticket. Two farms near Lake Bluff were sold last Friday, the deal involving (100,000. The purchasers^ were Chicago people and it is generally understood that the tract is to be used for a golf course. According to reports circulated in that city last Friday, the C. & N. W. Railway company is to erect a large round house in Waukegan. The building will be sufficiently large to accommodate forty locomotives. Mrs. Anna Belinski, wife of William Belinski and the mother of nine children, passed away at her late home on a farm near Gage's Lake, Lake county, last week. The last of the nine children was born only four days prior to the mother's death. The deceased was forty-one years of age. The radio bug^ seems to have hit Hebron more seriously than many of the towns in this part of the state. The Hebron Tribune each week prints 4 a column or more of radio news as it concerns local owners of receiving sets and judging from these notes most every family in Hebrott is the poseessor Of a set. George W. Conn, formerly of Woodstock, and who at one time opposed Col. Ira C. Copley for U. S. representative from this district, is now being urged to make the race as state superintendent of schools of North Dakota. Mr. Conn has been a resident of that state for a number of years, owning a large farm near Amindon. / Hie Marengo high school has been on the credited list for anothe**saKe year, but the letter which accompanies the notification plainly states that Marengo is sure to lose this credit at the expiration of that time unless a proper building is secured for the housing of their high school. In other words a new high school building is recommended. The general offices of the Oliver Typewriter company have been movfed *, from Chicago to Woodstock, thus increasing the office force at the latter place by about forty. At the present time the factory is giving employment to about three hundred people and prospects are that the plant will soon experience greater activity than has prevailed in a number of years.

Mr. Miller has owned and successfully conducted the place for about a quarter of a century and is thus turning over a business which the owner, thru hard work, strict attention to business and the very best of service, .SPEEDS UP ON MATTERS PERTAINING R0UT1 20 THRU THIS CITY SPECIAL $10,000.00 BOND ISSUE ELECTION TO BE HELD HERE MARCH ^ Council room, March 4, 1984.

His partner, M. Christensen, came to McHenry from trip to | Morton Grove, where he has been employed for some time past. The latter, besides being a florist of no mean ability, is also a landscape gardener. The new firm will carry on the floral business in a manner to conform with all the very latest ideas known to floriculture. They will also add all kinds of bedding plants for the garden or window garden and in planning your flower garden it should be remembered thai the services of Mr. Christensen are ever at the public's disposal. By this we do not wish to leave the impression that this young man't services go with the purchase of flowers or plants, but he will be willing to help you plan and lay out your garden spot at a fee that will be very fair. Mr. Miller, who has just retired from the floral business, has not as yet decided as to his future plans. In view of' the fact that he still has the Rosedale hotel and cottages to look after, it may be seen that his time will be well occupied for the present. Messrs.

Theatre-goers of this city and community are promised another treat on the evenings of Sunday and Monday, March 16 and 17, when a play, entitled "The White Headed Boy," is to be presented by home talent under the auspices of St. Patrick's church at the church hall. • Rehearsals for the play are already under way under the direction of Miss securing of the right of way for section 14, route 20, which section is to connect up the cement roads now under construction east and west of McHenry. % The county committee, while still at work, hopes to be able to complete its labors in this direction within the course of the next few days, while the same encouraging reports are a!so forthcoming from the city committee, which has been at work on the matter for a week. The first property owner in the city to sign up the dedication paper was A. S. Parks, who cheerfully signed over the rights free of all costs. Math. Bauer is another of our citizens who has gladly signed the papers, he also giving the right of way thru his prop- j erty free of costs. Very little trouble has been encountered by the city committee, thus evidencing that tiie owners who are being asked for right of ways are co-operating to the vei'y fullest extent, a condition which merits the highest commendation of our people in general. The property most seriously affected is that of William Stoffel, Jr., located on Elm street. In order to provide the rignt of way at this point it will be necessary to move the residence to some other lot. Just where this will be has not as yet been definitely decided, altho this matter will be amiably adjusted in due course of time. The laundry bujlding, facing Waukegan street on the West Side, is another structure that must be moved in order to make room for the road. Supervisor S. H.

High honors at five FIRST METHODIST CHURCH The order of services at the Methodist Episcopal church for Sunday, March 9, are as follows: Sunday city limits has been signed up and that his committee anticipates very little trouble, if any, in getting the dedications which have not already been obtained. It appears to be the general impression among those where dedications must be secured that the road is now assured and therefore the cordial co-operation. In order to provide funds with which to pay for the right of way thru the city of McHenry, the council has voted a special election to be held on Saturday, March 29, at which time a $10,000 bond issue will be up for a vote.

It was our intention of ^reprinting a number of the letters received since Steve Sopczak of Harvard was given our lagt issae| but on acount of lack of space we were unable to do this.

The community board realises that in order to have the structure ready for occupancy by the opening of tWI fall term of school no time can be lost from now on. In fact, the various contractors must exert themselves to the very limit to bring this condition about. According to first plans, the building was to have been completed and ready for occupancy by Feb. 1, but owing to unforeseen circumstances this has been made utterly impossible. However, it will be a great disappointment to the members of the school board, the pupils and patrons if the structure is not ready for occupancy by Sept. 1> In fact, the school board is going to do everything within its power to taring about this very desirable end.
