BECAUSE we dislike a person Is no reason why we should use his name and five him a scoring once In a while, or often. We hope and think we are above snch actions, and never shall we allow personal feeling to become paramount to our duty to McHenry. We have cast our feelings many times to the wind to do justice to the people of the town, and shall consider that our course so long as we run a paper. Although It should '*go against the grain" for us to praise an act of a man we dislike, we shall do it jnst the same and give credit if he deserves it. And those who »r«. like us, striving to maintain anil build up the reputation of the town, no matter how different their opinions mav be from our. shall com mani the inspect uud help of our paper.

AN exchange remarks that there is one reason for advertising which busi­ ness men rarely consider--Its general effect on the prosperity of their own place. The newspaper frees out into the world from week to week and day to day as the, representative of the city, and men judge that city more by V -; the newspaper than anything else. If It Is newsy and able, and many local firms are represented in its advertising columns, tlie'v assume at once, and gen" erally correctly, that it comes from a city, a good city to live near, and they a"e drawn thither. The effect is not slight, and the suggestion is one which deserves the consideration of every tradesman. ' L THE McHenry Brick Manufacturing Company have started in with a big boom tills season, and the superior quality of their brick warrants it all. They have been awarded the contract to furnish the brick fertile new County Poor House, also for a School House at Oak Park, and a Church in Wiscon­ sin. Besides this, they are daily re­ ceiving orders for one or two carloads from Elgin, Woodstock.Genoa Junction and other points. They h»«ve burned one Kiln of 150.000 and are now burn­ ing one of 200.000, and with their en­ tire force are now working on one and one half time. As we said before, their brick are far superior to those I made last year, the clay growing bct- 1 ter the farther they get down, and the 1 brick now he>% produced eannot be U>e eat in the State.

We have a school second to none in the county and it should not be allowed to degenerate by any false economy. Mr. Sheldon Is one of the best, teach­ ers in the county, and we hope will be retained as Principal.

DIKD-- Mty 27th, 188T, at "his eon, !l< McHenrv, III., *t tho resilience of his eon, Ilenry M. McOinber, ot congestive chills, John SlcOmber, aged 89 years, C months aid 16 days. Deceased was a native of Massachtt* setts: Fitzsimmohs A Evan great reoiiuent sal advertise a tlay June Utli. to Saratoga Co., N. Y., early in life and here married Bet*y Monro. Jan. 1st, 1817. They settled in Boone Co., N. Y.. Where they had seven children, three girls and four boys. One of the boys, Alfred E., died In infancy, aged 16 months. They came with their six remaining children to McHenry in June, 1837, when there was but one shanty here on the west side of Fox River, and that stood on the ground now occupied for a garden by Mrs. L. C. Gates. He erected the first log cabin in this place, on the site where E. M. Owen's bouse now stands. June '20th. 1837, he commenced work on the sawmill f »r Mr. Barnum, and had •vorked but a few days when H. N. Owen and .las. A. Salshury bought Mr. Barnum's Interest In the mill, and his claim to the mill site, but he continued to work on the mill for theuew flriu until It was completed. That same year he erected for him­ self a plank house where the residence of Wm, Cris;y now stands, from the first timber sawed at the mill. He was an excellent mechanic, and was employed almost constantly iu building the first residences here, aiidf many are now standing that he built at that time. He superintended the building of the first court house in McHenry Comity, a part of which now constitutes the main poition of the. mansion house of this place. x ( In 1843 he moved to his farm. 2 miles southwest of McHenry, anil remained there 14 years, working alternately at Ids trade and on the farm tiiitll the fall of 1857, when lie returned to tliis vil luge. In the spring of 1853 lie commenced building theUuiversHlistciiurch in this place. We well temember the untiring energy with which he prosecuted this work, under the most discouraging, nil verse circumstances. Incompleted this edifice that same year, giving most of his time and labor without compensa­ tion. He commenced the journey of life while th«> sun of science was beneath tho horizon, and while the old haml- sickle that finuriidied In the field when Ruth gleaned after the reapers was yet the only implement used to gather the golden sheaves. For thousands of years there had been Utile or no Im­ provement upon ancient customs. Now all Is changed. While the inventive genius of the age hasemployed natules forces to supply the wants of man, science has been dispelling the mists of superstition which shrouded the world in darkness, and opened up new fields of thought, more In harmony with man's wants, his reason and his nature. Hence It is that we find the subject or this memoir lias long since found one common recepticle for the mipersti- tions, habits, and customs of ancient times that, were prevalent In his vomn, as no longer suited to th" intelligence, uf the age; and being a lover of truth and an ardent hater of hypocricy, lie freed himself, from the ihrilldom of the superstitions thai environed him iu Ids boyhood, and became a recog­ nized champion of freo thought ami human rights. He scorned to trail his colors in the dust that lie might ride triumphant upon tlie top wave of popu­ lar superstition. He had no premium to offer to biggots. and no compromise to make with error. We loved this, good old man for Ills kindness of heart, his generous impulses and his undying fidelity to truth. We cannot conclude this artic'.e with­ out C ' tmineii'liiig the kind attention that this a<;ed parent, received at the hands of al I li 's surviving children and grandchildren, who seemed to vie with each other to render the evening of his |ife pleasant and happy. Death had no terrors for him. His work was finished and well done. He pas»ed quietly, peacefully and resign­ edly Into t hat sleep that nature kindly provides at the sunset of life for tlie weary traveler, that glveth perfect rest, and is a sovereign remedy for hu­ man ills. Funeral serv,len was held at the liouse, Rev. L. G. Powers officiating. >• The remains were conveyed to the Nunda cemetery, and there placed be side those of the wife and two oldest daughters--Matilda and Armiuda, witlf appropriate ceremonies. i:i the pres­ ence of a circle of mourning friends, among whom were the youngest daugh­ ter, Mrs. Greenleaf, and her husband, of Waiikcgan, III., A.

We have received the June number of the Kaleidoscope, which is one of the few magazines designed to interest the boys and girls of our land, in solid reading that will instruct them. It is a very neat publication of 32 pages, and presents valuable instruction In an exceedingly interesting style. The lllustratious In it are fine and it also has a song set of music. There are a number of puzzles given with offers of valuable prizes for their Solutions. "Useful Work for Young Hands," is an interesting and profitable department. It is a publication of genuine merit and we cheerfully recommend it to our young friends. It Is published by W. 8. BOND A Co., York, Pa., at only 50 cents a year.

UjCNKKTT. t'P 'The Memorial Day The ceremonies of Memorial Day, under the auspices of Richmond Post No. 286. G. A. R., were carried out iu Richmond nearly in accordance with the published programme. The day was all that coulr] be wished so far as the weather was concerned. This is a matter of congratulation from the Tact that for many years heretofore the proper observance of the daj has been seriously Interfered with' by bad weather of some sort. But Providence graciously smiled upon this occasion and gave us tlie azure of a summer sky, and the delicious mildness ">f the spirit of the Inter spring weather. The procession was formed promptly at 1 o'clock p. m. by the G. A. R. falling In at their rendezvous, at the M. E. church; the school children falling in in their rear when the line of march was taken up eastward to corner Main Street and Broadway, where the Rich­ mond Comet Hand took the lead, the vocal choir falling In in the rear of the school children, who bore the floral offering*, followed by the orator vf the, day, and clergy and citizens. • 4 Arrived at the cemetery, the G. Ai, II. received from the children the floral offerings, and while the band slaved the dead march.decorated the soldiers' graves- -16 in number. At the stand the ceremonies iver# varied, interesting and exceedingly appropriate to the occasion. First came the beautiful rituai'of the G. A. R. followed by prayer by Rev. Grover G. Clark, Chaplain of the Day, and the oration bv Rev. Charles Frazer, Pastor of the Richmond and Genoa Junction Congregational churches. Of this ora­ tion we cannot write to our own satis­ faction or that of anybody else who listened to it, because commendatory word0 are inadequate. It was classical. It was eloquent. It was almost Incom­ parable. It was the product of a man of learning superadded to much orig­ inal genius. It ought to be made of lasting value to mankind by being pub­ lished and scattered broadcast where-, ever the heart, of loyalty beats, or the banner ot a Fatherland floats over a t ree people--free through the sacrificial blood of heroic defenders, 4 * 'v A fter the oration. Asa W. Smith, Esq. of Woodstoc^ was 1 nireduced, and pre­ sented the.claims of o:ir highly honored fellow citizen, James Bacon, for re­ muneration for hi* expenditure of a large sum <or the erection of the beau­ tiful soldiers' monument which graces our cemetery. That speech of Mr. Smith's was a masterpiece of eloquent pathos. The crowd, which had begun te melt awav at the edges, were spell­ bound before he had spoken three min­ utes. We saw strong men. men who had marched up to the cannon's mouth, who had uufilnchliiglv seen and met the cold steel of the enemy's baronets directed to t.heir.br?ai^s, weeping like children. It's a fact. The result was that when the subscription papers were started the sums subscribed were gen­ erous Indeed. Mr. Smith ha* gained many friends in Richmond and neigh­ boring towns. After the services theG. A. R. march­ ed to their rendezvous, led by the Ricluiiond Cornet Band, • and broke rank«. The vocal hum hers rendered by the Juvenile Choir, Mrs. John W. Hay thorn leader, were, really, beyond any tame, conventional or common-place praise. To Mrs. Haythorn Is to be ascribed the credit of first organizing and making effective the splendid musical talent of our . young singers, of ages ranging from 15 to 18. She organized a choir of these young people, of which the following i< tlie )>r,r*onellc: Organist--Miss Xeltie weight. Snpriinos--Mi<s«'s ICitiie tiellespie, • May Itennelt aii'l Kll'i flowarlh. Altos--Misses Myrtie Mead andGraec Gray. Tenor--George Alfs. I Kasitos--ifibht C. Bennett and Will Cole. Under Mrs. Ilaythorn'6 tuition this body of young singers are achieving a local distinction which is quite to be envied, and which thejr fully sustained on this occasion. The instrumental numbers given by the Richmond Cornet Band, J. Repas, leader, were highly satisfactory to all. It is te he remembered that this band has hardly more than a year been or­ ganized, to fully appreciate th? really tine music they are able to exeoute. Richmond is proud of her bRiid. Their standing among the bands of the north- west*, is shown in their selection by the authorities who govern and direct our annual Melleury County Fair, to fur­ nish musio during the next fair of the McHenry County Agricultural Associa­ tion. The thanks of the commander are especially due to Jatnes Ashton, for in­ formation as to the location of the sol­ dier's graves in the Riciimond Ceme­ tery. and for his kindness in piloting the G. A. R. through the many crooks and turns necessary to make in order to form the shortest line of march to reach all the honored ? raves. "Jimmy," as he is familiarly called, from his long service as sexton, knows the location of almost every grave in the cemetery, and on this occasion his services were invaluable. Especial thanks are due to those I atriotic ladies who met at Dr. Ben­ nett's and at the school house tojnake the "wreaths and prepare the other fiernl offerings, viz: Mesdames Spencer Cottlng, J. C. Smith, S. F. Bennett, A. I.. Brown, R. Johonnett, J. Sanborn, A. Mygatt. and Mis*'Nellie Savage, The floral offerings were not confined to the oltizcns of Richmond alone. A beautiful cross and wreath were left at the school house, we thiuk from Mc­ Henry. Unfortunately the names ef the donors were not secured. The thanks of the G. A. R. are accorded te them. One of the most beautiful mementos to eur fallen braves was a cress pre­ sented hy I-ieiit W. II. Walker, Harvard, it was composed of fresh and blooming flowers. He gave it Inte the hands ef the Commander, with these words: ',We have Decoration Day observances at Harvard. But Richirond is iny old home. I must come here on Decoration Day. Iu your cemetery are burled iny old comrades. I entrust it t« your hands. Commander, to b« deposited on the grave of my old comrade, Capt. E. J. Cook." It was reverentially de­ posited upon the grave of Capt. Cook, as requested. The following order lias been Issued from headquarter? ef Richmond Post No. 2S6, G. A.
