And the old set tiers of Mcllenry and T.uke have i heir Be union la-day. Being one ol'the old pettierK, as it is over lorty seven years aluuu I came to Lake bounty, I feel |«>rfVctly at home in Mcllenry. as "t was herw that I made the acquaintance tif many Of tlie flrst setliet's of our t?ouiilie?. At tlte time we lii£t came here the territory that comprises tlie counties of McHeury and I^ike was attached to Ceok Comity lor judicial purpe^ef, and before the laud was .surveyed hy the Government, in the winter of 1836-7. the Lepiclaiure put the wheel in motion lor organiz­ ing the county of, MoHenry. It %vas here we lie Id our courts and conventions, ft \va* here many of tts Hist hecftyne acquainted, and a friendship sprung ii|i be! ween us that has been last lug. And when we come to Mcllenry we feel that we are welcome and perfectly at home. And we come liete tn-day to renew old acquaintance and have a good time generally, and have a social visit. I thereupon, on behalr of the old settlers of the two counties, thank you lor the welcome you give us. Hon. T D. Murphy, of Woodstock, was then introduced, fie commenced by saying ft was customary to meet' from year to yeer and celebrate some memorable event, and that we had met her* under that time honored custom to celebrate tlie event of the settle­ ment of this section of country, viz.: McHeury and Lake Counties. He asked the assembly to close their eyes and contemplate this country a hundred years hence. He acknowledged he could not do it. He had enough to do to be­ lieve tils own eyes. He paid a glowing tribute to the old settlers of the two eoun:le«, tlio-e pioneers who had settled here and braved the trials and troubles of a new count rv, and had so nobly ful lilted their moral and religious duties towards posterity. It was Impossible to say too much in their praise. Judge Murphy then gave some very Interesting statistics In Regard to4lie number of Butter and Cheese Factories in the State of Illinois and the number of pounds of milk received by them for the year 1880. Also gave the number of rarnfs, horses and cows hi the State, and their assessed value, and then pro­ ceeded lo show what portion of each was in the counties of McHcnry and <»ur attention wee culled to something else Just at ihnt time we failed to get tlte figures, but will look them up and give them to our readers at some future time, as they give a very interesting showing, and is something that few have taken the paitu to look np. Our Public Schools were glten their share of attention, and lie Spoke of the intellectual development of our country as marvelous, but cautioned all good citisens that while seeking the Intel leetual development o( the yPHlh of the land not to forget tp moral.
