THOMAS, of Chicago, who is visiting with Isaac Wentworth, In this village, removed the old one and put the new weather Vane on the M. E.

Mr. Thomas Is a practical builder ID Chicago, and understands bis business thoroughly, and while other parties wanted $ 10 far doing this fob he volun­ teered to do It for fun and the good of the cause, and well deserved as ho re­ ceived the thanks ot all. . THE farmers of McHenry county and all the people thereof, will unite in loud acclaims should the prediction of Prof. Foster, the Iowa weather proph­ et prove true that the crops of Illi­ nois in this year of grace, 1887, will be among the greatest of recent years. He says: 'Oats sown early will have splendid growing weather from April to 12, followed by eleven days of cold that will rot the late sown oats but will not hurt the early sown; then for a month fine farming weather is predicted, A storm period will occur during the last week of May, Corn should be planted early. There will be more rain this year than last, and the winter will be mild and opon, A large plant of corn is advised. AMONG the near patents Issued we notice one on a trunk. We can assqre the inventor that the traveling public will take but a feeble interest In the patent. There are plenty of good and handsome trunks now on the market. They are roomy, they are well pro­ portioned. they lock readily, they are easily handled. In short they give eatlre satisfaction. What men and women are yearning for is not a new and improved patent'trunk but a new and improved patent baggageman. Every season many a premising trunk perishes miserably in the bloom of its yonth. owing to the treatment It re ceiveg at the bands of unsympathetic baggage-smashes. The genius that patents trunks strangely misappre­ hends the situation. TO THE LADIES, Bring your children and fit them to suits, We have an assortment. Also caps.

May 5th, 1887, for the purpose of arranging for the next annual re-unlon, and the traasastlon of other business that may come before them. PER ORDER. CHAS. H. MORET brought into this offioe a few days since two stocks of Corn, which he brought from the farm of James Burgett, Hebron, which Is a little ahead of anything we have ever seen la this country. Mr. Burgett did not know to what variety it belongs, and It Is unlike anything we ever saw. On the two stocks la our possession there ^ are seven large and well de­ veloped ears, four on one and three on the other, and we are informed that this was a fair average of the whole field. Mr. Burgett planted this variety for fodder, and consequently did not take that care of it that he otherwise veuld, but nevertheless |it yielded full one hundred bushels to the acre. This would prove at least, that it would be a profitable kind to raise, and from the appearance of the ears in our possess­ ion we should judge it to be of first clast quality for general use.

He make* friends and enemies alike, although generally more enemies# than friend*. Each week he must j >t down the items of new* as he hears them from what Is supposed to be a reliable source, and if he makes a mistake, woe be unto him. The blame is all laid at his door by those wi«e(?) ones who never get things wrong. Again, there U another class of would-be-noticed- people, who are oflended because they do not get their names in the papej- when something of importance happens to them, when the reason is simply because the correspondent has failed to hear of the great event.

To those who anticipated -flooding the MeHenry market, In a few years, with oranges "raised on my own free land," given by the above generous company, the following will, no doubt, be a great pleasure for them to read* The item Is taken from the Sunday later Ocean, the paper who put so many of our citizens oa the road to sudden wealth by advertising the method |of "how to get something for nothing." The following is the item: Guy Weber, treasurer and manager of the St. Andrew's Bay Land Co., of Florida, was arrested yesterday after-' nooi at Cincinnati, on a charge of mis­ using the United States mails by send­ ing out circulars and matter designed to defraud. Why such papers as the Inter Ocea! should lend itself to fostering such fraudulent schemes, is surprising, and why so many fools were ever born and permitted to settle in one town, is an unanswerable conundrum to ONE OP THE FOOLS. In Me mory of Mrs. John Nelson, Who died, at her home in MeHenry, on Tuesday, March 15th, 1887: - Yes, «he has gone, dearest Mary, And bade us farewell.
