Sundays by Appointmei Office at Residence, Waukegan Roa The other day the sheriff brought chicken thief be had caught, he fetched him to my justice court and says to me, "I think you ort to give this feller sixty days and maybe he will mend his ways. He stole some hons from Widow Black, he had a dozen in the sack. The widow heard them chickens squawk and called me up. I let her talk, I guess that she is t&lkin' yet, but I just hustled out to <ret this thief, as he was going thence he caught his pants upon the fence. I gave that feller's seat a kirk and snapped the handcuffs on hirv quick, so after he has had his trial 111 lock him up for quite awhile. I says to that miscreant, "It ain't no use to rave and rant, but if you want to say a word I won't do nothin' til! I've heard what you may say about this case." The feller puckered up his face and says, "Be patient for awhile, because I want a jury trial. 111 have to have a lawyer, too, to figger out what I shall do, he'd make it plain. I may be craxy or insane, but I can't tell until I can have my attorney scheme and plan." "Alright," says I, "your bail will be a thousand bucks at least, by gee, and if that ain't enough to keep you in the jail to eat and sleep 111 add a thousand dollars more." The sheriff kd him out of the door and shut him t ightly in his cell, I'll keep him there for quite a spell! THKMeHKlfRT which he thought he could jest about make his supper ofen 'em. But he couldn't find nothing to open the can with so he went over to Will B. Drunker's an' says, "you got a can opener?" says he. "Yes/ Will says, "I married one," says he. I have observed that a itoman may let the eupper burn on the stove while she holds a telephone conversation," declared Cy kology, "but •he will quit promptly if the cat scratches at the door and wants out." The city dweller dreams, and says, ?I wish I had a farm. I'm longing Ibr the open parts, where nature spreads its charm. Somewhere upon a hillside, where my weary mind could shirk. I'd like to rest my Mental power, and put my brawn to work. The tanend and ragged ruralite is sore on country strife. Says he "I crave the city where there's something real to life. I'd like a monstrous dwelling in a town with action blest, where I could rear about a bit and get a needed rest." Whichever place a man may be, he'd like to make a change. It seems we're all dissatisfied--and yet, it isn't strange. The play mah wants to work a bit; the work man wants to play. The sunshine of the summer makes a fella feel that way. What we cant understand is how the fellow who knows his onions knows them from the other fellow's. Having your mind on your health too much will cause you to have your health on your mind too much. Ann Surd were called up to Me Henry last week 'count of her mother bean sick so Ab had to do for hisself for a few days. So he went to Hi Price's and got him a can o' beans "Every ssan had oughter be boss in his own home, I ain't got no use for these crawling, snivering sort of cusses that don't dast say tfyeir soul is their own. A woman's got a lot more respect for a man if he just stands up and asserts his rights and lets her know he's the big boss of the whole shooting match and that what he-says goes. Now, I ain't never unkind to my wife. I ain't never rough to her, but I just lets her know--excuse me boy, I see her coming now and I reckon I better be going!" Ura Peech was a-showing one o' the girls a new dress she'd made for herself an' she says, "I wisht I'd have knew jest exactly how much it would have took," says she, "for I jest hate to have anything wasted," she says, "an' here I've got pretty ni half a yard left," says she. "Why Ura," the girls says, "they ain't no need to waste it, make you a bathing suit oaten it," she says. They had a kind of raffle down at Hi Price's Saturday night, which the proceeds were to be gave to the Rev. Loud Talker, as they were some behind on his celery, an' it's easier to raise money this way, seems though. So Tite Wadd's son holt the ticket that won the prize, it" were a saxaphone. A Monday morning Les Brane met up with Tite an' he says, "I heerd your son drawed the lucky number," says he. "Well," Tite says, some grim, "I'd call it the onlucky numbef," says he.

Interesting Bits of News Take* From the Columns of the ler Fifty and • r«nty-lve Years Age July, ,1877 K. Engl en having resigned, the Board appointed H. N. Holmes as Marshal and Pound Master, for this village at their last meeting. Evil doers will bear this in poind and prepare to "flee from the wrath to come." A. H. Hanley and Sons left at our residence on Monday last a sack of very fine flour made from new Tennessee Spring Wheat, which we think would be hard to beat. It is white and fine, and our better half says that it is equal to tile best she ever used. - On Saturday, George Eldredge shipped from the Richmond station, five carloads of wtool, aggregating forty thousand pounds. Can any other shipper on this division of the North Western Railroad compete with it? Yes, friend Utter, we can raise that. P. D. Smith of this village has , bought and shipped at this station, 44,000 pounds and has yet to ship over 6,000 which will aggregate 50,000 pounds. Next! The political pot in this county is commencing to boil, and the candidates for the different county offices to be filled this fall are beginning ts show themselves and present their claims to the people. For the office of County Clerk, Peter Whitney and Col. WVn. Avery, for County Judge there are three aspirants viz: B. M. Smith, the present incumbent, O. H. Gilmore, of Woodstock, and E. K. Smith of Marengo,at present Deputy Circuit Clerk. For treasurer there are two candidates, the present treasurer, Capt. James Nish being a candidate for re-election and a Mr. Sheldon of Seneca. For County Superintendent of Schools we also find three candidates, as follows: A. W. Young and George White of Chemung and William Nickle, of McHienry, t^e present incumbent. July, 1902 A large bell arrived here this week and was hauled to Volo, Tuesday by Peter Bower, where it will be hung in the Catholic church. N. H. Petesch our hustling ice cream vender filled sixteen orders for Pistakee Bay last Sunday. Lightning killed three cows, owned oy Charles Matthews on the William Hoffman farm, last Thursday. Part of the steel for the Johnsburg bridge arrived this week and is being hauled by George Meyers. The masons are now working on the last pier, and owing to the height of the water no little trouble is encountered in keeping the water outside of the coffer dam. D. G. Nills has sold his blacksmith business to Adam Ibsh and secured employment at Waukegan, where he commenocd work this week. A new map of McHenry county is being compiled, and it is to be a fine piece of work, says the Woodstock Sentinel. The men working on it are artists in this line; taking great care to make it correct. Shall the dam be located at McHenry or below Emerald Plark f This is a question that is causing no little anxiety among persons interested. No one wants to see Emerald Park cut off and then on the other hand the water power of Reynold's mill must not be impaired. The committee would like to locate the dam at McHenry, thereby giving the village aa opportunity to secure cheap power for electric lights if desired. It is argued that if this is done the village will have a deeper interest in the dam and will protect it and keep it in repair,- If decided to locate above the creek oulet, the people below and the committee may compromise by con constructing a lock, thereby making it possible for boats to pass through. The cost of building the lock would of course be paid by the people below. Some of those interested were approached on this subject this week and they seem to think it a good way out of the difficulty. Emerald Park property owners will hold a meeting next Sunday to formulate plans for securing the location of the dam below that place. It is pleasing to note that there is no ill feelings over this matter yet, and it is to be hoped that the thing will be settled amicably. The fears of the people of Wilmot might be alleviated when they discover that the committee does not intend to back as much water onto the low land as nature herself has done this summer. DELS Sweeping aside all precedent public favor the three entirely new, series of Nash cars displayed by the dealers throughout the country last week were given the greatest public reception ever acorded in the eleven yeans' history of the Nash Motors company. Outspoken approval and enthusiasm were voiced by thousands who crowded the Nash showrooms from New York to San Francisco and from Winnipeg to Palm Beach, and the public indorsement was made in the substantial form of record breaking sales. . "The crowning achievement of C. W. Nash," was the statement expressed by public and dealers alike in almost every section of the country. The lower and more sweeping body lines, the mechanical refinements, and the stunning new color combinations, were accorded unstinted approval by those who thronged the showrooms, and even greater amazement was expressed over the almost unbelievably smooth performance of the cars by those who had an opportunity to drive them. "So emphatic and so overwhelming has been the public acceptance of the new Advanced Six, Speical Six and Standard Six series," said E, H. MEoCarty, general sales manager of the Nash Motors, "that this will be by far the biggest July in the history of the company." Telegrams, voluntary and spontaneous, from distributors, gave very authentic reports of the reception on announcement day. These messages, conking in from all sections of the country, soon made it apparent there was no doubt about the public attitude whether the cans were viewed on Broadway, New York, or Pohenix, Arizona. A constant stream of visitors passed through the showrooms in Chicago--city dealers reporting a total of 3,700 the first day with sales of sixty-seven cars. The day following 4,400 people visited tbe showroom and that day eighty-six cars were sold. The reception accorded by buyers in Los Angeles prompted the Try Motor Sales to predict that the next six months will be "the biggest six months in our history." George A. Stilling is the Nash dealer in McHenry. Adv, mmmmm wm *3A" $?%•' ftTli'K ; Chesterfield'8 advice to hit . ' Jon is regarded as the soundest fa- . * fherly wisdom ever given out.
