Smith, of Wood­ stock, is very sick, and her condition is causing her friends a good deal of alarm. The many friends of Mr. Smith and family in this vicinity deeply sympathize with them, and hope for her speedy recovery. A son, Arnold D. Smith, of Renville, Mi;in-, has been called home on account of the sickness of his mother. THE following, taken from the Illinois statutes, may be interesting reading for someone. "It shall be unlawful for any j>erson to drive a steam engine over any bridge or culvert, on any highway in this state, without using four sound strong planks, each to be not less than twelve feet long, one foot wide and two inches thick; two of said planks to be kept continually under the wlieels of said engiue while -crossing said bridge or culvert." AN editor down in Iowa, being asked if he evsr saw a bald-headed woman, replied: "No. we never did/Why should we? No, nor we never saw a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeve^ witlj^a cigar between her teeth, stopping in every saloon she saw. We never saw a woman go fishing in the mountains with a bottle in each pocket, sit on the damp ground all day, and go home drunk at night. Neither have we seen a woman yank off her coat, spit on her hands, and say she could whip any luan in town." A NEW scheme has been concocted to catch the unwary. It is related that a clerical looking young person with a timid looking young man and woman recently drove up to a farm house near Whiteside City and stated that the couple had taken a whimsical notion to be married among the handsome sur­ roundings of the farmer's home and they would pay him liberally for the privilege. s,r The farmer at once gave bis consent, 11- ; * and in addition served the trio with a ;jfine dinner, for which he received $40, ;> \ ^giving the parties a receipt.

Avery's barn, that was charred and crisp. When discovered it was so hot it would almost burn. Its timeljCdiscovery doubtless prevented a conflagration. The weather was unfavorable to thoroughly cure clover when it was cut, and in its moist condition it commenced to heat. Farm­ ers who have put their clover in the barn will do well to look out that it does not develop a blaze.--Marengo Republican.

The Annual Re-Union of, the Old Set­ ters' Association of McHenry and Lake counties was held at Woodstock on Thursday last, and was a grand success in every particular. Although there was not as large a crowd as in former years, still there were many familiar faces among the old pioneers, who, as usual, enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent, and their smiling faces and hearty laugh as they shook the hand df acquaintances of early days showed that these annual meetings are days to which they look forward with the greatest of pleasure. The exercises at the stand we can pre­ sent no better than by giving the follow­ ing from the Democrat: At one o'clock the exercises at the stand in the park l>egan with prayer bv the Rev. * R. K. Todd, followed by ail anthem, "The Heavens Proclaim Ilini," by a choir of male voices. The Hon. Richard Bishop, of McHenry, was the first speaker, and l»eing fitted by a long residence here, it devolved upon him to review the past and speak of the development of our resources. Hig talk was interesting and abounded in original humor. The Hon. Asa W. Smith followed the first speaker, and told a few anecdotes of life in the East, and was eagerly listened to throughout. He ended by reading* an excellent poem by John Bunker, of this city. ... The, Ringwood band then pi choice selection. Judge Wilcox, of Elgin, entertained the audience with a few remarks. Ex-Representative George Wait, of Lake county, delivered an able and to- the-point address, which was fully ap­ preciated. . Will Hastings, of Gkfflbva, Neb., a son of Carlisle Hastings, of Coral, surprised the audience by his presence, and deliv­ ered a neat and pleasant address, Our own Judge O. H. Gilltnore followed with a few remarks couched in his usual choice and elegant language, and paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Judge T. D. Murphy and Amos B Coon, His entire speech, though short, was eloquent and grand, and displayed his marvelous mental powers in a superb manner, adding many to his list of ad mirers. His review of history was grand and interesting, i The male chofr sang the "Soldier's Chorus" in a satisfactory maimer, fol lowed by an able address by M. F. Ells worth, of Nunda. "America," by the choir and aselection by, the band finished the program. Thus ended the Old Settlers' meeting of 1889. Next year McHenry will be pre­ pared to roast an ox and give them an old fashioned blow-out, Valedictory. Before another issue of this paper the McHenry County Fair will be in progress. Its {inanciul success is in your hands. Will it, be a success or not? This is one thing jjuppermost to all. It. is not my purpose to dwell on that, as that matter will come later. What I desire to state briefly is the fact that for nine years I have labored industriously to place M< Henry Couuty foremost in the front ranks of Autumn Expositions. In other words, give her a name outside of her bounda­ ries. How far we have accomplished it I leave for you to solve. We have had our ups and dpwns--perhaps more than any other. Only one year were we com­ pelled to pro-rate olir premiums--the week of the continue Vain. "We have had large improvements to make to. ac­ commodate the numbers, which has been a drawback financially, few understand Yet would you j^ive up the good name for what it has cost. Bear in mind you have a chance of making many happy next week by attending the Fair. We have good reasons for working hard, this season. In making the Fair of 1889 the best has been my greatest desire. It is my last. For nine years I have given more time than many realize in pushing the Fair. It has been a matter of pride cherished towards our county. The work has been no easy one as many must know. What do I ask? Only that you should make it a special duty to attend We offer you a brilliant program. One that no one ought to miss. You have been blessed with good crops. No epi­ demic has been your enemy. Why not hitch up the horses and attend the Fair. Think of this matter, and admit I am not asking only what we are debtors for, A. S. WRIGHT, Sec Hebron Department LODGE DIRECTORY. MASOWTC.--A.

There was a terrible epidemic of dysen­ tery and bloody flux iu Pope County, Illinois, last summer. As many as five deaths occurred in one day. Messrs. Walter Brothers, of Waltersburg, sold over 380 bottles of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy during this epidemic and st»y they never heard of it's failing in any case wheu the direc­ tions were followed. It was the only medicine used that did cure the worst cases. Many (>ersons were cured by it after the doctors had given them up. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W. Besley.

JOHN EVANSON & Co. A letter from S. P. Wardwell, Boston, says:."I used Clarke's Extract of Flax (1'apillon) Catarrh Cure in June last for Hay Fever with groat satisfaction, and find it the only thing I have seen which would allay, without irritation, the in­ flammation of the nostrils and throat. Its soothing and healing properties were marked and immediate." Large bottle $1. Clarke's Flax Soap is the latest and best. Try it. 25 cents. Ask for them at Geo. W. Besley's drug storey West McHenry, 111. Mat. MeCabe, of New Brunswick, 111., offers to pay five dollars to any person troubled with bloody flux, who will take Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy according to directions and does not get well in the shortest possible time. One half o a 25 cent bottle of this remedy cured him of bloody flux, after he had tried other medicines and the prescription's of physicians with­ out benefit. Mr. McCabe is perfectly safe in making his offer, as more than a thousand bottles of this remedy are sold each day and it has never been known to fail iu any case of colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, c ĵarrhoea or bloody flux, when the plain printed directions were followed.

The lives of your uhildren are of price­ less value. Every child is subject to sud­ den attacks of bowel complaint during the summer mouths. It is always alarm­ ing and often fatal. The only rational plan is to be provided at all times with the safest and surest remedy, and promptly treat the disease in its first stages and before the vitality becomes exhausted. Unexj)ected delays so often occur in sending for a physician or medi­ cine, especially during the night, or from a distance, that no one can afford to risk such uncertainties when life de|>ends upon promptness, keep a bottle of Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhtea Remedy at hand for instant use. It is made for bowel complaint only and is un­ questionably the most reliable medicine ever brought into general use. The price is no object compared with its value in saving life. Sold by G. W.
