MILLER & Soii, our Marble dealers, nave been getting out some of the finest Monuments of late ever seen in this sec­ tion. That this is appreciated is evi­ denced by the large amount they are do- jing, having twelve completed to put up this week, besides a large number of un­ finished orders now on hand. They are Completing one for the late A. H. Hanly, of this village, which is very handsome. It is eleven feet high, 4 foot at the base and is made of Barre, Vermont Granite. The design is neat and ^handsome, while the workmanship cannot be surpassed \by anyy^ They have another monument on which they are at work, which is thir­ teen feet high, three and a half feet at the base, and is of Scotch Granite, the design and workmanship of which is also very fine. In short Messrs. Miller & Son have few equals and no superiors in getting out their kind of work, and those con­ templating purchasing anything in their line should not fail to call at their shop and look their work oyer. Their work is the best and prices reasonable. J. M. CHANDLER, whom we noticed a few weeks since as here in the interest of Geo. A. Ogle & Co., Chicago, getting the points for a Farm Plat Book of McHenry County, but who was called to another field, has returned and is now busy com­ pleting his work here. To repeat what we said before so that q)l may under­ stand it we would say that this book will give an Outline Sectional map of each Township, with Plats of Cities, Towns, and Villages, and Historical Records of hundreds of leading citizens, together with a double map of the United States, and Railroad Map of the State, colored Counties. Also a complete analysis of the system of th9 United States land sur­ veys, with engravings, diagrams and drawings. Mr. Chandler is doing his work thorough and well, and when, com­ pleted this book will be one which no family can well do without. As we said before none will be for sale except to sub­ scribers, so that in order to secure a copy you must subscribe now. If you do not do so you will much regret it in the fu­ ture. Do not decide hastily when Mr. Chandler calls, as it is a work you can­ not afford to be without. In the Inter Ocean of the 15th, in the /report of the races from Lima, Ohio, we learn that "Henry O." a George O. colt owned by E. C. Howard, got a record of v2:24^. be being the first one of George O's get to enter the list. The above rec­ ord is a remarkable one when we take everything into consideration. This colt was six years old May 3d and has never had a days training until this spring. He was shipped May 23th from Lake Villa to Gee Grimes, at Franklin, Ohio. Then on the 29th to Dayton, Ohio; six days later to Waupoosa, Ohio; from there to Terra Haute, Indiana; and then to Lima, Ohio. He has not been work­ ed but three miles this season, which he made in 2:34, 2:36 and 2:30, until the day of his race, when he went to a record the first heat of 2:24%, and that after be­ ing on the cars ten days out of twenty- one. His mother's breeding has never been established and is non-standard can make such a showing? George O , 2:21%, will put four more in the list from non-standard mares this yeah This lit­ tle town has the greatest sire on earth, and he is being used by horsemen from far and near. NICE line of Pipes, just received, at Barbian Bros. NEVER have the citizens of McHenry n more highly entertained than they have this week by the Leon ard& Thomas Dramatic Company. Our people appre­ ciate a good thing when they see it and have shown it. by giving this excellent company full houses each night of their engagement here. \ Indeed, they are a Cohipauy uf ladietfaud gentlemen, every one a star, each one taking his or her part in a manner not to be excelled. It is seldom that one finds, outside of the large cities, a company possessing such real merit as this troupe. A social chat with some of the members, who, by the way are as pleasant entertainers off the stage as on, discloses the fact that they come from the leading theatrical organi­ zations of this conntry. On Monday evening they opened with that great Dialect Play "That Swede," and follow­ ed on Tuesday evening with that great­ est of all Comedy Dramas, in Five Acts, entitled "Divorce, or Lost and Won," in both of whi,ch the talented young Actor, Frederic Herzog, done himself honor, and was supported by the entire company in an unexceptionable manner. This Wednesday evening, which is posi­ tively their last night here, they will present the beautiful Play of "Lynwpod," and no one should fail to attend who wish an eVening of real enjoyment. This Company go from here to Wauconda, and we take pleasure in recommending them to our readers in that vicinity as well worthy of their most liberal patron­ age. They have made a reputation in McHenry that will give them a crowded bouse at any time they return here, which we hope will be soon. . A party of fishermen from Chicago slopped at the McHenry House a couple of days last week, and when they went home they voted that MeHenry was the greatest fishing ground in the Nortb^ fost. / The following is the dumber of THE many friends of Prof. J.

The Woodmen's Picnic, at Beloit, last Friday, was attended by about ninety from this place. They report a jolly time. Ray Lyon was seen on our streets Monday. He was here on business. The ball club is all equipt and ready for business. They would like to hear from some of the suburban towns around Harvard. J s. Walsh has returned to work on the Hera hi. He says this hot weather is too much for Groesbeck's literary pro­ ductions. They were liable to spoil be­ fore he could get. them ofl his hands. Chas. Saunders, who has run a milk route in this city for the paet fifteen years, has sold out to Fred Rentley. Charlie has been elected President of the Trotting Association and will make things boom in racking circles. The Grover Cleveland club, of Madison, passed through Harvard Mouday. The train was composed of one baggage car and several coaches. But the coaches were "not in it" with the baggage car. The refreshments were in that car, so were the passengers. ' The Republicans of this city turned out enmasse Tuesday evening, June 13, to organize a Republican L&ague dub. Great enthusiasm was manifested by tho°e present. Speeches were made by Capt. R. J. Whittleton, J. D. Clark, L. H. Stafford and others. An organization was effected by electing L H. Stafford president, L. O. Digging secretary and F. F. Axtell treasurer, F. H. Coe was made captain of the marching club. The officers and members of this club will do everything in their power to further the election of the Republican nominees. While it is dollars to doughnuts that Harrison and Fifer will win, it is well to remember that our friends, the enemy, are still on earth, and liable to show signs of life at any time. It is not well to be too sanguine of success. Every Re­ publican should do something to help keep the rascals out. The work of putting in the mains for the water works is bt-Mig pushed as fast as the weather will permit. H. S. Williams is building an addition to his block, corner Ayer and Brainard streets. J. D. Clark attended the reunion of his regiment, held at Janesville last Friday and Saturday. John Snowden Visited in Chicago a few days last week. W. C. Wellington has just finished put­ ting in a new plate glass front in his store. This will give him much more light. We are pleased to see our neigh­ bors seeking light. Some of them need it badly. Our Republican club now numbers about 300. This is the largest club ever organised in this city. The weather has been such that the farmers have not been able to get into town to join, but they are all in line and anxious to put them­ selves on record as being ior Harrison and Reid. If there are any soreheads in this neck of woods we would respectfully call their attention to that old rymetbat runs something like this: He who sulks and stays away, will be left to sulk till his hair turns gray.
