FATHEB MEBBIMO, Pastor To THE PEOPLE OF MCHENRY COUNTY: Next month you will have the opportunity of showing your good-will towards your county Fair. As stated for the 12th time, it belongs to the people of McHenry county; they in particular are benefitted by it. To say we shall give it greater attention than ever before, is only stating what our duty is to the people who have selected the pres­ ent company to make it so. -• We believe the program to be announced later will attract more attention than arfy in the past. We know it is stated it would be impossible to secure what we expect. This was said when Longstreet and others made their pil­ grimage to Woodstock. I never was more sure filling the contract as stated in the papers in April than I am this year. Recent letters confirm that meeting and nothing but war can cheat us out of it. Rest assured I shall not advertise anything I am not absolutely confident of. We have started out to make the Fair of 1900 the climax in all its departments and attractions. We ask the people to do their share and get all inter­ ested in its success. . ' The full program will be issued about Aug. 10. The leading features will be about as follows: Wednesday, Aug. 29. -Prizes for babies will be offered (see posters). Children's day- All under 16 admitted free. Scholarships offered by Wheaton and Dixon colleges will be competed for. Write secretary for particulars. Thursday (Old Glory Day). The biggest day in the history of the Fair. Friday (Modern Woodmen Day.) Requested by,them, in which every camp in the county and around will take part. A prize drill will be one of the features for mpneyed premiums. The Slayton Jubilee quartet have been secured for thre^ days of the Fair. They will sing in the grand stand each afternoon during the speed contests.. This troupe has sung in many places in the county, and are well known as among the best. » ' ' - • & We want the fair of 1900 to go down as the greatest in the history of McHenry coui.ty. I believe I voice the sentiments of a very large number when I make this statement. Will it be unanimous? Think it over and decide that it will. Yours truly, s" A. S. WRIGHT, Secretary. , WOODSTOCK.

ILLINOIS. DON'T BE DUPED There have been placed upon the market several cheap reprints of an obsolete edition of " Webster's Dictionary." They are being offere} under various names at a low price By dry Roods dealers, grocers, agents, etc., and in a few instances as a premium forsubecrip- tions to papers. Announcements of these comparatively Worthless reprints are very misleading: for instance, they are advertised to be the substantial equivalent of a higher-priced book, when in reality, so far as we know and believe, they are all, from A to Z, Reprint Dictionaries, phototype copies of a book of over fifty years ago, which in its dav was sold for 55.00, and which was mucn superior in print, and binding to these imitations, . then a work of some merit instead of one Long Since Obsolete. The supplement of 10,000 so-called "new words," which some gf these books are adver­ tised to contain, was compiled by a gentle­ man who died over forty years ago, and was published before his death. Other minor additions are probably of more or less value. The Webster's Unabridged Dictionary pub- lisned by our house is the only meritorious one of that name familiar to this generation. It contains over 3000 pages, with illustra­ tions on nearly every page, and bears our imprint on the title page. It is protected by copyright from cheap imitation. Valuable as this work is, we have at vast expense published a thoroughly revised successor, known throughout the world as Webster's International Dictionary.
