IA CROWDED house greeted the appear­ ance of th^poloredtrouoe, "The.Tinglers," at the City Hall on Thursday evening last. The entertainment was a good one and entirely worthy of the liberal pat­ ronage the peoplpof McHenry gave them. The audience was appreciative and ^encored the.colored artists repeatedly. The programme consisted mainly of plan­ tation Jubilee Songs, comical selections, interspersed with songs calculated to test the capacity of their soprano and basso, who were second to none.

The supper was one of the best, consisting of pork and beans, brown bread, and all the substan­ tiate of a regular New England Supper, and the ladies who had it in charge are certainly deserving of great praise, not only as to the bountiful supply, but also as to the manner in which it was served. Taken all in all' the entertainment was one of the finest of the season. % WE understand that a movement is on foot among the sportsmen of the county looking towards the stocking of the county with quail. The scheme Is to raise a purse and send to the West for several hundred of these feathered beau­ ties, which will be turned loose in this eounty and be protected by the laws of the state until they shall increase suf­ ficiently to provide an abundant supply of game for the hunters of the county. This plan has been adopted in other parts of the country with splendid success and we have no doubt but a large num­ ber of people would be-only too glad to "chip in" to raise a purse to obtain the game with which to stock this county. IF we want to do anything towards building up McHenry, let us have a meet­ ing, select a committee, and let them get to work. Let them buy a tract of land at the best figures obtainable, plat it and sell the lots at reasonable figures. Most of our people would be willing to buy one or more lots for an investment, even if they never wished to build on them. In this way a handsome bonus could be raised, and the committee be in a position to do something. Until this is done we may talk and figure for the next fifty years and nothing will come of it. What is everybody's business is nobody's busi­ ness. No person has authority to do anything now, and nothing can be done without organisation. If we ever expect to get ai\y manufacturing industry to locate here we must do something besides talk. We must act. profitable to all who may attend. Fol­ lowing is the programme: MORNING SESSION.

Commander-in-Chief W. G. Veazey and Capt. Bennett were officers in the same company during the Rebell­ ion, aud his appointment to this honora­ ble position now, unsolicited as it was, is no doubt but a just recognition of val­ uable services at the front, at a time when our country sorely needed help. We congratulate Mr. Bennett on this honorable recognition. THE following from an exchange wilt be good advice for some of our people to consider: Be careful how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been bleeding, of wonnds received, and let no suspicions follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race; hope of future greatness and the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks be­ neath the wave of despair with no star to guide bis life into a new channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root ont the fairest flower that ever grew, so the vilest man can ruin the purest woman's character. THE following which was handed us by one of our subscribers, will be appre­ ciated by the majority of unr male read­ ers: Truly, "roan's life is a game of cards." First, he is a "cribbage". Next he tried to "go it alone," at a sort of a "cut," "shuffle and deal" pace. Then be raises - the "deuce" when his mother "takes a hand in," and, contrary to Hoyle, "beats her little joker with her five." Then, with bis "diamonds" he nftns tbe "queen of hearts." Tired of playing a lone hand he expresses a desirp to "assist his fair partner," "tbrowB out his cards." and the clergyman takes a f 10 bill out of him on a "pair.". She "or­ ders him up" to bnild the fires. Like a "knave" he joins the ' clubs," where he often gets "high," which is "low," too. If he keeps "straight" he is sometimes "flush," he grows old and "bluff" sees a deal Of trouble, when he at last "shuffles' off his mortal coil and "passes" in his "checks," and he is "raked" in by a "wade;" life's fitful game is ended, and ha waits the summons of Gabriel's "<rwnp" which shall "order him up."

Make your town out a very bad place and stab it every chance you get. Refuse to unite in any scheme for thie betterment ofj the material interests of the people. f Tell your merchants that you can buy goods a great deal cheaperjln some other town ai^bshftfge bjmjsjthr extortion. If a stranger cdin^s to your town tell him that everything is overdone and pre­ dict a general crash in the near future. Keep divided public sentiment on the best method of increasing business. When you have anything to say of your town say it in such a way that it wilMeave the impression that you have np faith in it. If you are a merchant don't advertise in the home paper; but boy a rubber stamp and use it. It may save you few dimes and make your letter-heads and wrappers look as though you were doing business in a on4-horse town. If a town is to prosper there must be coucert of action on the part of the people. If there is discord instead of harmony; dissensions instead of oneness of purpose, that town is doomed. men that make towns mors than natural advantages. NOTICE TO FARMERS.

Brother Z. W. Burnham diet! Sunday morniug at I o'doek, January 11, 1891. Z. W. lturnham was horu in Morrow, Saratoga couuty, New York, October 12, 179D, (iud was of the ripe old age of 91 years and 3 mouths. Itro. Burnham joined the Masonic fraternity in Cameron Lodge, Howard, Steuben county, New York, in the year 18211, and has been continually affiliated with some Lodge. At his death he was an honored mem­ ber of Silver Light Lodge, No. 400, and its first worshipful master. He went thro' exciting times, known as the Mor­ gan excitement, never swerving one iota from his Masonic duties. Bro. Burnham was before his death the oldest living Mason in Iowa and perhaps in the United Statu*, tteing a Mason for (58 yearp, laboring in nonie capacity or other for the good of Masonry which he dearly loved to his death. The brethern ot Silver Light Lodge celebrated his 91st birthday last October with due ceremony and presented him with a beautiful Past Master's jewel and a fine gold headed cane which he fondly cherished. Bro. Burnham has been called from labor to refreshment to that celestial lodge above, where all good Masons expect to gain admittance. Whatever faults the deceased brother may have had during his time on earth, all is for­ given and forgotten--we all have our faults. On his dying bed bis farewell to his family and brethren was, "we will meet again bye and bye." Bro. Burnham was nofra member of anychurchorganization but believed in the TTniversalist faith. All that was mortal of the remains of our venerable deceased brother were laid to rest in the Liberty church cemetery with Masonic honors, at 2 p. m. Monday. Bro. F. W. Parsons, of Glenwood, preached the funeral sermon at the dn'Tch and took his tost from St. John XIV: 1,2,3: "»nd the love of God*ho gave his only begotten Son," etc/ A most beautiful, impressive, and appropriate sermon. Farewell brother. Rest in peace. A BRQT«P«. i Y Viok's Floral Guide for 1801. No lover of a fine plant or garden can afford to be without a copy.
