He left that country and came to Canada In 1899. Alter living there twelve years lie came to Illinois in 1842. He settled on his farm In Greenwood where he remained about foiiy-ouc yean*. He left the farm and removed to the village of Ringwood about two years ago where he remain­ ed till the time of his death. His funeral was held at the M. E. church in Ringwood, on Sunday. Sept. 7th. A great many people from differ* ent parts of the County showed their regard for this old citizen by being present at his funeral. The seivices were conducted by Rev. Wm. Nlckle, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sear! of McHenry. For many years Mr. Harrison was a prominent citizen of Greenwood town­ ship. He was a man of strong common sense and sound judgment. He was frequently called upon to serve his towu iu a public capacity and always proved himself worthy of the conff* dence which was reposed In him. When I say that Mr. Harrison was a kind hus­ band and father, an excellent neighbor, a warm-hearted friend, aud most es­ timable citizen, 1 only echo the senti­ ments of all who were acquainted with him. ' DMUI •• RatlawU* ¥--•g Eliza M. Carr, eldest daughter of Richard H. and Jane Carr,died in Ring- wood, Aug. 13ih, 1884, aged 21 years. The death of this young and lovely glri is inexpressibly sad, and excites the earnest sympathy of the entire community. She was born In Ring- wood and has grown up in our midst, ahe was one of our fairest and best. Through childhood and youth she was ttue to herself and an honor to her parent's teachings. She was the light of her home, the pride of a large circle of relatives, the delight of her young companions, beloved by all. She stood upon the threshholdof a true and noble womanhood when that fell disease, consumption, laid his withering hand upon her. Through weary months of pain we saw her fading, till she sweetly fell asleep In the arms of her who loved her first on earth. The bright, young life is ended here, but only begun In a higher, purer, nobler sphere, where friends long parted meet again and the "weary are at rest.* The following lines in memory of their beloved daughter are Inscribed to Mr. an:1 Mrs. Carr with the syuypthy of the writer: ^4 Sbe grew in beiuty day by <lay, Thro' each succeeding year; - A lovely child, whose promise sweet. We watched with lend'rest care. She grew in beauty; ah! how dear Her mind's unfolding grace. Her leving glance, the snunv smile Upon her youthful fitce.

Our town was full of music on Satur­ day. Dick Oglesby's concert troupe. Bell Ringers, etc., gave an entertain­ ment, numerously attended and vocif­ erously applauded, In the evening at Culver's Hall. During the afternoon the cornet k and of this show gave some fine music on the street--as flne as one will often have the pleasure of listen­ ing to. We hear only commendation of the entertainment. The public school opened on Mondav September 8, with a good attendance in all the departments. To the delight of school and patrons Mr. Faber re­ mains another year as principal. Miss Goodrich, of Marengo,and Miss McKee, of Algonquin, who take charge of the intermediate and primary depart­ ments, are teachers new to the school aud public here, but they come highly recommended aud will, we have no doubt, give satisfaction. If the coming school year is as successful as the past one was. It will leave little t® be de­ sired. 9 1 Tlie hot weather of a week or two though it has caused complaldt on ac­ count ot discomfort, has been of In­ estimable value to our farmers, ir. ripening the corn. Most fields are pow pretty much out of danger of frost and cutting Is going on In many fields. A few days of the same kind of warm weathet will make sure one of the larg­ est and test corn crops ever raised In this portion of Northern Illinois. The miserable crops of last year was a great discouragement to farmers, but the flne crop of this season will Inspire new confidence. During last week the village was largely deserted, everybody who could, being in attendance on the County Fair. All who had the pleasure of at­ tending report r "grand success" in all respects. We are informed that the Richmond Cornet Band acquitted themeelves so creditably as to gain golden opinions from the officers of the Society, a« well as the vast crowds of visitors. It is alio a matter of con­ gratulation to our citizens that the Richmond Company of plumed knights were given the pest of honor at the great Logan demonstration of Thurs­ day evening. Among the new attract iocs in onr city is the Cisihssg stars ot Mu Atber i, conducted by Mr. Sully, No. 2, Phoenix Block. Such weather as this lifts the farmer from the "Slough of Despond," into which last year's failure of crops sunk him. The Republican reception on Thursday night was a grand success and fully op ta the expectation of all. except Democrat*. And yet they are not happy; and why should they be with the present prospects? Miss Kate Shan ley, once known as an intel ligentand respected girl, but of late weighed down by despondency, died on Friday from the effcct of poison. Poor Kate will have no more '-sorrow in her song," no more "winter in her year," but will be remembered in sympathy by all who knew her. Notwithstanding the President, General Superintendent, Marshal and Assistant Mar­ shal are Democrats, and worthy gentlemen, every one, a few of the Democratic lights with more zeal than prudence, scattered wet blankets in the form of bills ovei the success of the Fair with no other excuse for their conduct than the tact that the executive com mittee of the Blaine and Logan club, neither of whom have *ny connection with the con­ duct of the Fair more than other citizens, saw At to give Mr. T.ogau and oihei distiEguished Republicans a reception in the Park on Thurs­ day eveninfc, the Agricultural Society baring no part or lot in the matter. It would be uncourteaus in me not to recog­ nize the kind words written of me by my faithful triend, J. McAultffe, and not to thank him and many others for their manly suppart, and their refusal to accept bribes as induce­ ments to desert me at the last moment. Had Ike minorav of the Woodstock delegation been as faithful to its instructions as Lhe ma­ jority, anr as my friend McAuliffe, whatever miglit have been my tate, the people would have been better satisfied. Notwithstanding mv own Town of Dorr, by a full caucus, com­ prising nearly every Republican voter, in­ structed her delegates without a single dis- senti.ig voice to tuie all honorable menus t* secure mv nomination, a few of the Wood- btock part of that delegation spared no pains to see nelegatea from other towns for the pur­ pose of inducing them to desert me. And on the day of the convention trades were effect, ed, not only in the interest of the successful candidates at our County Convention, but at our Sonatorial Convention, and likewise in the intersst of prospective candidates for Clr- cuit J mine next June, and for Conirreas two years bene#. And it was part of tbe agree- nient that the distinguished chairman ot the Woodstock squad (not of the Dorr delegation, because thev were not in the secret) ordered a halt when'Dorr was called, so that if Mr. Young's nomination was not assured bv out­ side votes, enough might be transferred from Dorr to secure bis nomination.

Although I have been accused of writing "primer lessons." and although I am as ignor­ ant as to who is the author of those articles as a child unborn forty years hence, yet that was one of tlie charges to secure votes against men in the convonlion. Now so tar as my individuality is concerned no significance need be attached to it. But so far as principle is concerned it is well enough for the people to ask themselves if it ie a flatterintt compliment to their intelligence that these political hucksters should permit them, the people, to assemble in caucus next Mayor June and send delegates to go through Willi the farce of ratifying the compact which caused my deteat. It is well enough for the people to consider the question: if this "halt" ordered by Judge Smith is hie interpretation of ' using all honorable means," what would lie his judgment in your case litigated before him Hi your Circuit Judge when his present or future interest should suggest a hall. Or forsooth how would such conduct recommend him to your confidence as a trusty man in the lial Is ot Congress? Yet one or the other of these oflices (Judge or Congressman; is he to All it the trade which caused my defeat is completed. The past week has been a proud one for Mc Henry County. The Thirty.Second Annual Fair brought together the representatives of nearly every industrial enterprise of this and surrounding counties, but more marked than at former exhibitions were the industrial en­ terprises of our own County But as our inde­ fatigable Secretary, in his official report, will give your readers minutiaj I shall only at tempt generalities, *ith few exceptions where!n mv experience and tastes naturally incline. In the cattle department an admirer of lhat inestimable source ol wealth and coin, fort to the human family, could not fall to tlnd unresistable attractions. The long line of stnlls occupied by Short Horns owned and exhibited by Fred Hatch and Frank Cole of Burton Fred Collison of Richmond, and M. Howard of Gresnwood, give our County a reputation,carried abroad by our distinguish­ ed guests, well worth afi the premiums drawn from the treasury of our society by these enterprising farmers And if I mistake not, among each and every one of these noble herds I trace stock or descendants of stock from the farm of Kichard Wray, formerly a bleeder and successful farmer in the town ship of Burton, but now oil account of ill health a retired citizen of the flourishing vil­ lage of Richmond. Mr. Wray has from tlie •tart been a working member ot our society, and as I took his feeble hand and witnessed his tottering step, and heard from his lips: "Asa, I am just able to be here with you tnis year, quite likely for the last time, it is pleas ant to contemplate the comparison between our present and our first exhibition. And, Asa, I have a strong desire, perhaps too strong to be good ground for hope, to see the McHenry County Agricultural society out of debt, the owner et these grounds and a guar­ anty lhat our descend ints might meet here annually to witness the march of improve­ ment and growth of our County, our State and our Country in theirs as we have in our gen­ eration." I withheld not the hearty amen. And I heard this pioneer say another thing that is worthy the contemplation of every man, woman and child: "1 took my tUle from Uncle Sain, and there ha* never been a mortgage or shadow of a cloud upon u." The black and red Polled Angus herds of George Abbott & Sons, of Greenwood, exhibit­ ed an enterprising spirit on the part of the Messrs. Abbott which It is likely to prove financially profitable to them and of untold value to Ihe country The elder Abbott Is a •'charter member" of our Society, and by pre­ cept and example is a living witness of the grand results from^he maintenance of County Fairs Next to the east of the horse stalls was a long line <»f Holstein caltlc owced by Mr. Huger, of Algonquin, and by their sleek and healthy appearance Mr. Ilager appreciates the Importance of feed, care and attention to give assurance ot profit in the dairy business. For one passing down the line of Fox River Valley Kailwny, where milk shipping seems to lead, the dairy herds appear to be made up mostly of llolsteins. And as land is bringing higher prices per acre along this valley than in other par;s of the County, quality consid­ ered, we naturally conclude that in this class of dairying the Holstein herds are proving very profitable and satisfactory. The exhibi* tion of other breeds was meagre and unattrac­ tive. Hunt Bros, exhibited their Poland China Hogs, and W. A Baker his Chester Whites. There were peus of Jersey Ueds and Suffolks; also crosses. Exhibitor's names have passed from my mind. Tbe sheep pens wete not up to usual sx hibits, and probably this verifies the assertion that sheep culture must migrate where land is less valuable. The horse, man's most faithful servant, was out in full lirsss, and in variety, number an<te quality, reflects credit upon breeders, train­ ers, and our County at larga. Agricultural and Fine Art Halls were well filled, but require a pencil more skillful than mine to do justice to the exhibition. Will not some lady's hand, that so tastefully arranged those fabrics of domestic manufacture, those works of art, etc., guide the pencil for such delicate work? Dacy, Donovan and Austin, with wind and horse power, failed not to make the department of Agricultural imple­ ments attractive, giving purchasers the ad­ vantage of comparison. The races, while not conspicuous for speed, were the source of much interest and some excitement. Our distinguished guests, \\hote names are household words, failed not to gratify by their presence and to be giatifled by the surprising magnitude of our Fair. The addresses by Messrs. Black, Logan and Fair- child were received with marked attention and apprec^tive enthusiasm. Mrs. Logan, with her cheerful countenance and statesman like bearing, added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. To the management much credit is due. The President, Thos. McD. Richards, in his cheer­ ful sacrifice ot time, his good, sound sense and economic prudence and untiring labor, has discharged his full duty. A. 8. Wright, Secretary, has limited Ida zeal In behalf of brilliant success only by the limited means at hip command. A. w.
