THE man does not live who is entirely friendless, but the man without an enemy is o! so little use in this world that the sooner the community is rid of him the better.

Look for other notices giving further particulars later on. IN these times, the advertiser who is shrewd enough to keep his business before the public, instead of cutting down his advertising is the one who will assuredly "make the riffle," over the depressed times. This suggestion is a pointer. By keeping your business before the pub­ lic you get what trade there is, while the other fellow who neglects to advertise sits and mopes and grumbles about hard times. "How do you find business?" "I advertise for it."--Marengo Repub­ lican. \ f f OUR citizens were shocked on Monday^ afternoon to learn that Fred Cossman, a prominent citizen of the town of Grant, Lake county, had been found dead in bis Woods about noon on that day. We learn that he had gone out on Sunday afternoon to drive up some sheep, and not returning it was supposed he had gone to a neighbors, but on Monday morning he was found dead as above stated. He was a man highly respected in the community where he lived, having held several offices of trust in his town, | and we believe was Town Clerk at the time of his death. An inquest was held on Tuesday, but at the time of going to \press we have not learned the verdict of ilhajnry. vR. A.

The fiftieth anniversary of the mar­ riage of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Covell will long be remembered by them as one of the most pleasing epochs in their lives. Last Saturday afternoon, a goodly number of their friends, numbering we believe fifty-four, assembled at their home, east of this village, and spent the afternoon in the most pleasant and social manner. The company comprised relatives and friends, many of the latter who had known them over forty years, which length of time they have been resi­ dents of this town. The afternoon was spent in a right down old fashioned visit, rehearsing reminicences of their early settlement here, by the older ones, which were listened to by those of less mature years with predictions of what they might do should they be fortunate enough to celebrate their 50th anniversary. ^Interspersed with this was some beauti­ ful and appropriate music by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh, which was greatly enjoyed by alL After partaking of bountiful and deH- cioue refresh ments provided, the company departed for their homes, leavimr behind them substantial tokens of their regards in the shape of numerous and handsome presents, the following of which is a list with the names of the donors: Gold bowled sugar spoon; Mr. and Mrs. €L It. fhirti*.

As will be seen by a notice in another Ja^fc in this papers/an adjourned meet­ ing will be- ^retrTat the City Hall, on Thursday evening of this week, to take under advisement a proposition present­ ed to the village by parties who contem­ plate building a Watch Factory in oui> inidfitw' Of course all the preliminaries™) a matter of this kind must be carefully considered, and to do this a concert of action is necessary, and there is no better way than to come together, hear what is offered and then exchange views as to the best manner to secure the ob­ ject desired. At this time we do not wish to hold out any wild hopes, but we do say that from our stand point and what we have been able to learn of the matter it looks to us as if this was McHenry's chance to start a healthy boom, and make our town one of the foremost busi­ ness places in this section of the state. That we have the natural advantages no one will deny, and now let us lay all petty jealousy aside and work for the good of the entire town. Therefore we say turn out to the meeting, hear what is offered in favor of this enterprise and if you are satisfied it is all right put your shoulder to the wheel and help push it to a speedy consummation. Let it not be said that McHenry let the golden oppor­ tunity slip from her when she had it al­ most in her axasp. NOT a thousand miles away on a re- icent Sunday, a farmer very eloquently supplicated the Lord to help the needy $nd poor in the community.

IT'S real funny to note the manpsf in which a man prepares to run for office, generally for alderman. First he is un­ derstood to be thinking of it, then he makes up his mind he cant spare the time, then be thinks the office needs |ym badly, and finally he yields to the ear­ nest solicitation of his friends and jumps in with both feet. He intended to run all the time. . THE post office department has issued an order that hereafter mail will not be taken on the railruad mail cars unless it first passes through the post office'. The order was made necessary because so many business men in the neighborhood of railway depots in all localities mailed their letters on the train to save them trouble of going to the postoffice, and it made a large amount of extra work for the railway mail clerks. Time was taken up stamping letters that was needed In sorting out mail between stations. Fruit culture is more profitable to the farmer now than his other crops. Brown Bros.
