All the teachers from MeHenry, Ringwood and Richmond were present. DR. W. E. PILCHER, Dentist; will be at Dr. Auringer's office, West MeHenry, on Saturday next, as usual. After that time his brother, F. E. Pilcher will locate here permanently, probably having his office at the same place. We believe there is a good field here for a dentist, and as Dr. Pilcher comes highly recommended we bespeak for him a liberal patronage. NOTHING is more charming to see than a young girl, simple, natural, gentle, refined, unaffected and polished in miud and manner. Children should be early taught politeness; not politness and manners put on with the best dress. True politeness is that which springs from a nice mind and a kind heart, which refuses to wound others by acts of dis­ courtesy. True politeness is rare, and more valuable, perhaps, than is often imagined.

AN exchange remarks thatevery young man immediately on being married should subscribe for a home newspaper. His wife hae probably always had the pleasure of reading one at home, and it would be heartless to deprive her of the paper after shfe is married. Then again it will make the home bright and happy and the wife need not waste her time visiting neighbors who take a home pa­ per to see what is going on. It will save cold dinners and give the wife more time to darn her husbands socks. P. H.

Mr. McGrath understands his business thoroughly and will spare no pains to please all who give him a call. IT has been said by one who observes, that a study of the eallender for 1893 will show that the present year will have some peculiarities. To begin with, it commenced and will close on Sunday and contains all or a part of fifty-three weeks# Each of theseven days of the week have the honor of being the first day of at least one month. Three of the months begin on Wednesday, while Sunday, Thursday and Saturday are each the natal holi­ days of two months. There are three months, April, July and December that cover part of six weeks each. Washing­ ton's birthday came on Wednesday and Decoration day and the glorious Fourth fall on Tuesday. Thanksgiving will tall on Thursday, the last day of November, and will be the latest Thanksgivign cele­ brated within the decade.' In fact it can Dever be any later in the year. Old Santa will visit us on Monday. As this is the World's Fair ygar, all these peculi­ arities are excusable. r PERSONA!. M. KBLTER, of Chicago, wm oar streets on Saturday last. ' * L. A.

She resided in the states of New York and Pennsylvania until after her father's death when she came with her mother to Ringwood, Illinois, and made her home with her sister, Mrs. Robert Simpson.

A MARCH WBDDINGh All was bright and cheerful at the house of Mrs. Roberts, Greenwood, Wednesday, A. M., March 8th. About thirty were present to witness the mar­ riage of Mr. Charles Henry Carrand Miss Juliet Roberts. Rev. James Goodman, of the Baptist church officiated. The wild frolic of the elements outside, only made more enjoyable the festivities within. After congratulating the happy pair, a good dinner was enjoyed. Gold and silver presents could be seen on one of the side tables, with other useful gifts. Mr. Carrwill work his father's large farm at Ringwood, and atr addition is to be made to the house, in which we hope our young friends will spend many hap­ py and useful years. Peddlers ru Horns Merchants. Is it fair to let peddlers and Jew fakes sell their worthless wares in our city, by paying a small license? They pay no taxes or do anything toward the support and general welfare of our community, still they are allowed to sell their goods in our community and to compete with our honest merchants who pay their share of the taxes in support of schools and public enterprises, and contribbute to every charitable -\nd worthy object in a liberal manner, and who are a part of our community. There is no place in the state where a better line of dry goods, boots and shoes, are kept in MeHenry, and besides all this if an error should exist the home merchants are always willing to rectify it; while the tramp peddlers sell their goods and leave for some other town as soon as the opportunity offers. So it is only just and fair to patronise our home mer­ chants, who in turn sacrifice so much to the general welfare of the community. AUCTION Sale,--Saturday March 18th.

Three days is a very short time in which to cure a bad cese of rheumatism; but it can be done, if the proper treat­ ment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, 111. "I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain balm. It cured me in three days. I am all right to-day: and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that ter­ rible disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get well at once." 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W.

We had an epidemic of cholerine, as our physicians called it, in this place lately and I made a great hit with Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I sold four dozen bottles of it in one week and have since sold nearly a gross. This Remedy did the work and was a big advertisement for me. Several persons who had been troubled with diarrhoea for two or three weeks were cured by a few doses of the medicine. P. P.'KNARP, Ph. G. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W.
