Fevers, of this village, has received the appointment as one of the members of the Board of United Stat( s Pension Examiners, for this county This is a good appointment. The doctor is one of the best read physicians in this section, and will do honor to the poai- tkm_to which he has been appointed. JAMES ROBBING has left on our tab?e samples of corn, picked in the fields of Allen Colby and J. G. Sherman, which show more than the average. While some pieces of late corn in this section will be poor, those planted early show an average yield and quality with former ye irs. Had it not been for the drought t ie corn crop would have been the larg- es b known for years. Peach Festival The Epworth League will hold a Peach Festival at the City Hall, on Friday evening of this week. A musical and lit­ erary program will be given, after which refreshments, consisting of peechw, cream and cake will be served. Everyone is cordially invited to be present and en­ joy a pleasant time.

We also havefl 50, against this hose- doctor, we mean, and. will flip with our Lake Geneva friends to see who has both accounts, and for fear we may win, will give him two ehances to our one. ^ THE village of Barrington was visited by a destructive fire on Monday of last week. The hotel and four or five sur­ rounding buildings were burned--all viyoodeu but one. The village is not wellJJ provided with fire apparatus and once started a blaze becomes very disastrous. Tae part of the town burned over is cost of the railroad track and south of the depot. Such a blaze is a very serious affair for so small a place as Barrington. IT is time that our village authorities took a few more precautionary steps to guard against fire. Everything is as dry as a tinder box and a spark dropped almost any where would kindle a flame. Extra care should be taken with fires and all unnecessary rubbish should be taken into the street, safely away from building and burned. The old fire traps in the rear of some of our stores are a constant menace, and steps should at once be taken to cause "their removal. • Two of the best building lots in McHenry for sale cheap. Inquire Fire at the Cemetery. \ About three o'clock on Sunday after- oon fire was discovered in the grass in oodland Cemetery, and before it could be extinguished about one-half of the old cemetery grounds had been burned over aid the front fence damaged to the ex­ tant of $25 or $30. The fire probably caught from some one smoking" and everything being so dry it spread rapidly. Our citizens turned out promptly and by hard work Boon had the fire nnder control. These dry times too much care cannot be taken to guard against a serious conflagration. \ i B. GILBERT'S store, on the v Was the scene of quite a scare on Thurs day evening last. Some paper bags hanging over the counter, caught fire from a lamp, and from the outside it looked as if the interior of the store was one sheet of flame. The alarm was given and as the store was closed parties from the outside broke in the front door and the blaze was soon extinguished. There was little danger, but it was a scare all \the same, and set our citizens to thinking ofywhat might have been. -- ^ J.^TCmnsTTis in town again, having brought the material for E. W. Howe to manufacture the Manning Wardrobe. Mr, Howe having purchased the right of this county. As we said two weeks ago, this is one of the handsomest and most use­ ful pieces of furniture made, and we pie* diet for Mr. Howe a ready sale. THE Mt. Carroll Register say a peddler want around selling a patent coffee pot, ciarging exorbitant prices. Among the many fleeced was the wife of a hardware man. One day when he went home to dinner his wife informed him what a nice thing she had bought, and showed him her coffee pot. She then Jearned that her husband had them in the store for sale and at half the price she had Daid for hers. When told this fact she said: "Well, why don't you advertise them. Nobody knows it?" She was right. The number of coffee pots sold by this ped­ dler at an advanced price would have paid the merchant for the cost of them and for a good advertisement of Ms whole business for the entire year, and the people Would have bought of him had they known he had had them. Such instances occur every day. A merchant can't <ret alonpr any better without ad­ vertising than he can without a clerk. .Real Estate Transfers. Recorded up to and including Aug. 26.

EDITOR PLAINDE ALER.--The noted evan gelists Hall and Joyce have closed one of the greatest revivals ever held in Nunda. The largest audiences that ever assembled in Nunda before to hear the gospel assembled from night to night to ihear the burning words that fell from the lips of Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall is a bold and fearless speaker and an orator of few equals. He hates shams, hypocrisies, skepticism, sectarian­ ism, and sin of every form, and loves God, the Bible and his fellow man. He has made the people better by pointing out their startling sins, and pleading with them to lead a better life, He has inspired many to give their hearts to God and lead a christain life, and he has made many homes better, brighter and happier, and leaves with the blessings of hundreds upon him. HiB lecture to men and women will never be forgotten for their truths, warnings and pleadings. He has the sympathy of the brethern who are here in Nunda working for God, truth and right.

That is, to get a draft on a New York bank for $1,000 cashed, Chicago bankers would change $10 or $15. The fact is that the New York banks will not pay out any currency un­ less forced to do so.
