INFORMATION is wanted of the where­ abouts of the widow of John Henry Elliott, who is supposed to have lived in this county about the year 1858.

He was a valuable bloodi stallion, and was owned by parties in MR. EDITOR:--I notice yon say that you were unable to attend the entertain­ ment by the Harmonia Quartette on Tuesday evening of last week, but that you learn from those that were present. { that it was a rich musical treat. It was indeed all of that- I am sure that every one who attended will say as much. They amply filled the bill, doing every­ thing they promised. Their solos, vocal and instrumental, were especially fine, and their voices when combined in trios and quartettes were beautifully harmon­ ised, and gave great satisfaction to every one in attendance. 1 doubt if there has ever anything of the kind come to our town which has excelled this for the real pleasure or cnlt'ure it afforded our people and they should not miss these oppor­ tunities. Should they ever consent to come again I am sure they would fill any audience room which our town could furnish. H. SLABS. found, ready to wait^ jast. The church was filled with an at­ tentive audience. The contest was a very close one and some excellent speaking was done, the contestants one and all displaying much talent in that direction. The medal was awarded to Miss Ruth Barnard. A book of poems was given Mi Kg Lizzie Lumley as second best. Mrs. J. H. Burger, of McHenry, Prof. H. B. Coe, of Oak Lawn Academy, and Prof. Eskew, Principal of Greenwood public school, acted as judges. It is planned to ^bave a gold medal contest here in March. AN exchange says that livery men in some localities are uniting for mutual protection, after the following plan. The horses, buggies, etc., are branded with a certain number, by which the livery send­ ing them out will be known.- Each pro­ prietor is supplied with cards bearing remarks and when a livery team is put at bis barn he can tell by the brand where it belongs, and can slip a card in a box in the buggy, which tells where the team was kept, whether watered, fed, driven hard or what not. It also Mis whether a rig was driven to a town beyond that f >r which it was hired. THE spirit of patriotism, the love of country, loyalty to free institutions, and the greatness of America have never re­ ceived such marked support and apprec i- ation as we found in a book published by F. T. Neely, and entitled, "A Tale of the World's Fair." It stands alone and un- • approached in the field of imaginative endeavor. With the limitless possibili ties of the World's Fair before him, the writer has risen to its height and extent, and has left to die literature of this country a masterpiece of description. While the work is fiction, its finished lit­ erary style, its strength of imagery, and its vivid presentations impose upon the reader all the emotions and pleasures of reality. As evidence of its popularity we notice that Mr. T. R. Burch, general agent of the Phenix Insurance Co., ] chased 50,000 copies of the first edi of 100,000 for free distribution aga^ng policy holders, agents 4and perineal friends--a mark of app: boo^everteceiv^ School Report.

The Village Board moot respectfully afHtenl to every citizen in this village to use alt practicable means to prevent fires, and recommend, among other precau­ tions*: the keeping of ashes-in secure re­ ceptacles with cover on a safe distance from any building or litter: also to keep matches in tin boxes and^But of reach of children; to take great care of stoves and stove pipes and to keep zincs or oil cloth under all stoves; not to light fires with kerosene, and to keep a few paiJs of water at all times handy in case of fire breaking out. Said water can be kept from freezing by simply putting in a handful of common salt. These are easy methods, and might be the means of preventing the destruction of a vast amount of property. Therefore, we hope our citizens will see the reason a- •ess of the request of the Board, and thereby not only protect their own prop­ erty, but put themselves in shape to be ready to help their neighbors, should the dread demon break out in our midst.

Don't be eo uncharitable as to hide it because he is as well able to pay for it as you are. Undoubtedly he has private reasons for not taking it. IPerhaps he has conscientious scruples against pay­ ing f 1.50 for a paper he can get the read­ ing of for nothing. Perhaps he is mad at the editor for saying too little or two much about him, or the mean thing may have shown hie ingratitude for long un­ paid subscriptions; in which case the paper "don't amount to anything" and "won't have the dirty thing in the hou8e."_Bu^he^ftn^i |o pad it all the more on that account,* just "to see what the fool has to Bay." He has a right to think it good enough to taleandcnticise although not good enough to take and pay for. So humor the fellow and give him your paper to read.
