THE PLAINHEALISR is not half of the time apologizing for lack of news or reading, "owing to the pressure of poli­ tics or advertising," or owing to a rush of job work. We do onr share of both the latter, but it shows for itself and we do not have to call our readers atten­ tion to the fact. Neither do we have to define onr position, politically every new moon. AU know where to find us every day in the week. ThePLAiNDEALEB does not spurt up for a week or so and then drop back into an old rut, but keeps right on, week in and week out, giving its patrons an average good paper tor their money. *'A word to the wise is sufficient." A WRITER in one of our religious ex­ changes makes the following sensible statement, which to our benighted mind seems to be well put. "Some of these converted gamblers and murderers may be excellent men after conversion, and may be instrumental in saving souls, but if you'll pardon us for a probably wicked lack of appreciation, we'll stand by the good preacher, who, admitting his frail­ ties and shortcomings, cannot boast that he has painted all the towns red, drunk like a fish, and dived deep into the foulest degradation and vice. We know of a great many preachers, good faithful men of God, who haven't committed murder, and haven't been demons of wickedness. They are not sensational­ ists, but they preach the simple gospel. They may not draw such surging crowds as your reformed gamblers and murder­ ers, but we believe they do more good in the world. At any rate, we prefer not to discount the record of the consistent, pious life which reaches from early child­ hood into old age; we prefer not to dis­ count such a life by putting a premium on the viler)ess and criminality of a life- record which is made an advantageous background for sensational pulpit wstics." ' IN the December number of the Fafette, the students' paper erf the Illinois State Normal Uaiventtar, sow before us, we find a highly compliinentary notice of Miss Grace Stevens, of this village. Miss Stevens has been attending the school at Normal daring the fall term just dosed, and in the 31st annual oratorical con­ test she received the highest markings of any of the contestants. It certainly was " nrsrbcd ul her ability, go­ ing there but a few short months ago as she did, a total stranger, to be even chosen as one of the coaieaiaats oat of the school of 700 students, many oi whom had been there from one to three years. It would have been an honor to her had she been defeated, under the cir­ cumstances, but the word "defeat" does not seem to be in her vocabulary, vic­ tory crowning each effort die has thus far .made in this direction. The Tidette says: "The Hippodrome Race was re­ cited in a faultless manner by Miss Stevens. She received the highest mark given on the contest." Her marking was 91-12, while that of her opponent was only 8 1-6. Who would not be proud of such a record ? What community wonld not be proud oi such a daughter? We Bra pleased to note the evidence* o! Miss Stevens' success, and believe that great things are in store for her in the future. Mies Stevens is one of McHenry's bright­ est and most popular young ladies, and her many friends, both here and else­ where, will feel a thrill of pleasure when they learn of her success. While we con­ gratulate her and feel giad with her over her victory in this contest, please bear with us while we express the wish, that is but the expression of belief, that in the contest of life, victory may perch upon her standard at each attempt or trial. Ability such as she has given evidence of possessing, is rare indeed, and always finds its just recognition and reward. As she returns to her studies at Normal, the best w»he« of her host of f>ieuu» go with her, and, to the multitude, ye editor desires to add his "God-speed." So she goes from among us to enter upon her second term at Normal. Bohool Beport.

Diss,--At his home in Nunda* on Fri­ day, December 25, IBftl.ofCoiisatnption, Thomas Knox, aged 32 jecurs. When the above announcement was received on Christmas evening it east a feeling of sadness throughout the com­ munity in which he lived, for few among our young men were more honored and respected than thn subject of this notice. His cssstituiiuu, in his younger days was somewhat impaired by rheumatism and long trouble, which made it an easy prey to disease, An attack oi La Grippe contracted last spring, soon developed into consumption and despite the best medical aid of our towns assisted by the more skilled profession of Chicago, after weeks of the most patient suffering sur­ rounded by the most loving care and attention, on Christmas evening his spirit passed to the god who gave it. There is something sweet and holy in the thought that God should close his labors here on earth on a day when all here is gladness, to partake of greater happiness than earth could afford, and to share in greater joys found only with God and his angels. Picture, dear reader, the loving husband and father, surround­ ed by those that were near and dear, in­ terceding in hie behalf, called away into the gray mist that enwraps the world. An eternal silence gathers his weary spirit to itself as the sunset absorbs the clouds, aud in the home whence he had vanished in bodily presence, the beautiful influence of his soul began his deathless mission. The deceased leaves a wife, three child­ ren, mother, three brothers and five sis­ ters to mourn his ©s?!y death. They have the sympathy of all in their afflic- t.on, for there is a comfort for those who weep. Could he but speak he would whisper: Take me. heavenly Father, to t'.y protecting care, Take me, dear Redeemer, thy heavenly joys lechsso; Take me, bleeaed motker, imt gaard ay ehll* dren three, « Anl cbeer my lone companion o'er life's tem peituoua tea. Guard them from all danger with tby meter ral tore. Shield them from temptation, te gala the realms above. Cheer my widowed mother, wipe away her tears; Comfort every sorrow 'hrongh her destining years. snathe my creeping slater* and brothers ell so dear i / Tor I have rcached a port of rest and hope te meet them here, Farewell, dear wife, and children deer, I leave yoa in Go I's care; Ob, may ho guide you to bis throne, end I shill meet you there. ^ ^ " ratssDs.
