EVERT publisher subscribes "them's •ur sentiments too," to the following from an exchange: "If you know of a little item of new*, apprise us of the fact as we all consider it a great favor. We want tbe news. If you go away or bave a friend visiting you let us know It. Frequently we have people say why did you not make a notice of so and 60; It is simply because we were •ot aware of the facts. So do not be d backward about giving us tbe news." ^Gallons 150 test prime white all (9M5oeate at Evanson's. THERE are a great many of our stfb* scrlbers who have not paid us, We know times are rather close, but they will please take into considertlon tbe fact that our bills must be met, whether money Is plentiful or not. By paying us you will confer a favor and save us the trouble of dunning each of those who owe us, A word to the wise is sufficient. LUKE BFENNIN, of St. Charles, who last season was employed in Bishop's mill, in this village, while out riding with a friend on Sunday, September 4th, was run into by a runaway ho-6e. and the buggy and occupants thrown off from a bridge. Brennan received a deep gash in the forehead, an iaju.-y to his eye, and other severe bruises. A rumor was in ciiculalion, here the past few days that he was dead, but a letter received by Miss Maggie Clark from his sister says that while be is badly injured, he Is im­ proving as fast as could be expected, and will be around again soon, all of which is good news for his many frjpnds here. f- - WE are Informed that the sales at the Lumber Yard, in this village, since September 1st, ISS., foot up the hand­ some sum of $4099.9", This we be'leve to be a good showing for twenty days sales.

IN oompany with our townsman, T. B. Turner, we last week made a trip to tbe Boone County Fair, at Belvi- dere. and as it was our first visit to that handsome little city we were much pleased and interested in what we saw there. The Fair showed large exhibits in all classes, tbe crowd was large and said to be far ahead of for­ mer years, while the management -showed perfection in every depart­ ment. They have handsome grounds, a fine track, new ampatheatre, and other improvements, which shows the officers to he live men who are deter­ mined not to let tbe Boone County Fair fall behind those in her sister counties. Belvidere shows a healthy boom, and new buildings and public improvements generally can be seen on every hand. Her citizens seem to be alive to tbe situation, and any man­ ufacturing or other enterprise that seeks a home in their midst receives their hearty encouragement and sup­ port, This is as it should be and Is sure to bring them their reward in the near future. Our short stay there was very pleasaut. and for courtesies ex­ tended we are indebted to Jehn Hannah and wife, Geo. Reed, Presi­ dent ef the Agricultural Seolety, and •then; THS MoHCNRY BAND. The leader of tbe McHenry Band, squirming under tbe fact that by bis own act he lost the jeb ef playing for the Old Settlers, attempts by lying and misrepresentation to clear his skirts in the eyes of the people, and being too ignorant himself to spell the commonest words, he canvassed the town oyer to get some one to put his slang io form to read. He finally found one low and mean enough to do his dirty work, and in last weeks Nunda Herald appeared his wonderful de­ fense, As regards the Band as an organization we bave nothing to say, as among Its number oan be found a few who are gentlemen, but as re­ gards tbe leader who is rlghftully named "SNEAK ," he Is not worth the notice of any respectable man. As far as the action of tbe Band In their meetings Is concerned we know noth ing, but we do know that the leader promised to come and let us know what they would play for. but never came near us, and later when we sent them word what we could afford to pay, could get no acswer only from hearsay on the street. We never re­ ceived from a member ef the Band any preposition whatever. These are faots well knewn to our citizens, and were also known to tbe thing who wrote the slush for the Herald, but this was a chance, under the cover of the Band, to vent a little personal spite, and the truth was net considered in the matter. We hive no desire to put ourselves on a level with this dirty mud throw­ er, If he has made any fame by it he is welcome to it all. We have bis his­ tory and shall keep it for future use. and unlike bis story it will be facti net fiction. We have net done with him yet. The leader of the band and his ally will receive our undivided atten­ tion in tho near future, and "SNEAK" and his friend shall be shown np In their true light. We learn that this Wonderful pro duction was also sent to two ether papers in the counts* but the editors of said papers bet^g men of brains respectfully refused t6be parties to the slander. But we are net astonished 'hat It appeared in tbe Herald, as Where there are ne brains there can be no judgment, and thluking he could make a little capital at our expense, this "would 6e" editor readily took the bait, although in an anonymous form. Here ag in we may be induced to re­ late a few fpcts instead of fiction. Perhaps a couple of affidavits now In our possession in relation to an at­ tempted Pension Fraud would not be uninteresting reading for this "would j&e.*' ' In conclusion we weuld simply point out the consistency of this champion writer for the band. He says, "in less than two hours enough money was raised to pay the boys all they voiihedP How their Ideas of price had fallen! They acknowledge •ur offer of 925, and now do not claim that they got over that sum, but relia­ ble authority says they did not get but a little over half of it. Be that Its it may, "SNEAK" and his friend wetfe much easier satisfied, it seems, when it came out of the two or three "btuirut men" thao when he thought he could Vet the Old Settlers* Committee to pay It. As regards the C. O. D. busi­ ness, if this Military Band Leader" and one or two other mouthy mem­ bers had paid their bills C. O. D. many of our merchants would have lien ahead in tbe past few years. Ktehmond Department, r SUNDAT last being tbe twentieth an­ niversary of the marriage of Mr, and Mrs. John I. Story, their many friends In this village planned a surprise for them en Mondty evening, and carried it out in such a manner that it was a surprise Indeed. About 8 o'clook the company, to the number of about six­ ty, took possession of their residence, and proceeded to make themselves at heme. Mr. and Mrs. Story, although taken entirely by surprise, accepted the situation and surrendered grace­ fully; and the result was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable evenings that has been spentf-in this village for many a day. Before they departed the guests presented Mr. and Mrs. Story with a very handsome China Tea Set, as a token of their regard and a remembrance of their 20th anniver­ sary, with the wish that they might live to celebrate their silver, golden, and diamond weddings, under equally as pleasant prospects. During the evenings Mrs, Julia Bishop and Miss Maggie Clark sang a very beautiful and apprlate song for tbe occasion, The evening all in ail was one that will long be remembered with pleas­ ure by ail present. SOME queer reasons are frequently giving for caking a local paper. One eld lady cheerfully Informed tbe Tonlca News man that since she had moved away she didn't care so much what was going on there, but, "it was pleasant to know when your friends died," and she took the paper to keep the run Of them. She was probably sister to tbe woman who informed the undertaker that ibe did "enjoy a good funeral." - Bargaius in winter dress goods, all colors trimming velvets, winter dress­ es for misses under eight years, a new lot colored embroidered Bklrtlngs, satines in blue and black pelka-dots, jerseys, dresses, corsets, infant's ward­ robes, etc., at Ladies' Salesrooms, MRS.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--It ISA iub- ject ef not a little comment, that in a comparative short space ef time four of oui most prominent citizens should die while sctive and Influential mem bers ef the Board of Education, First among these was John A, Parrlsb, then John S, Wheat, whose last Illness were not of a lingering character, then A. L. Salisbury and E. A. Murphy. Tbe two last named fell as If by a stroke of lightning. And while the loss In eaoh of the four esses mention­ ed, inflicted upon the family of earh wounds too deep for healing, our little city and its surroundings are so much Indebted for very many enterprises wherein they were shining lights and whereof they were part and parcel, that tbe community entire bows the head in grief and seeks a place among tbe mourners. And not these alone are snatched from our midst. Others ne less enterprising of Woodstock's leading spirits have found a common home In the silent city, and though years have passed since their decease, the places made vacant have not been filled, a vacuum still remains for each departed. What tLough we suppli­ cate " Reqaicscat in pace" over the tomb of each, spite of our supplica­ tions how quickly weuld we snatch them back to life, were tbe power of resurrection conferred upon us. Presch Agnosticism if you will. Preach an­ nihilation till you shudder at your own dogmas, still Hope and Faith, twin sisters ef Immortality, will buoy you up and bid you look beyond the world of doubts and fears, as the elec-. trie lights of tbe Holy City, dispel the gloom of doubt and unbelief. "He is not dead, but sleepeth" comes with untold comfort to the grieving mourn­ er, and who so hard of heart and veld of sympathy as to break the charm and bury Hope beneath Despair. Not I, be sure; and I fain would believe he llvetb not who would. Report? says R. D.

Don't stumble over these feed cuttere. Farmers are taking tbem ofl as fast as Tim and John and Bill can loid them, so determined are they to make the fodder last for all there is in it.
