A basket social was held at the school house in district No. 22, in which Miss Elsie Howe is teacher, last Friday night and the sum of f'28.25 cents was cleared.

The Universalist rummage sale of 1902 is a thing of the past, but the proceeds amounted to enough to keep the event fresh in the minds of the hard-working Willing Workers for some time. De­ spite the inclement weather last week a large number of customers were made happy in getting some useful articles at low prices. When the doors were closed Saturday nigfit there were still many articles unsold, and the ladies de­ cided to continue the Bale the first three dJjfi of this we^* - ^ HE IS OUR CHOICE. Goo. A. Hunt as Secretary of the McHenry County Fair. The many friends of Geo. A. Hunt have been urging him to accept the po­ sition as secretary of the county fair, and as a result of their persistent exhor­ tations he writes as follows in a letter to the Richmond Gazette: "I have been repeatedly urged by my friends over the county, during the past month to accept the position as secreta­ ry of the county fair. I have been re­ luctant to do this, feeling that it would be a sacrifice for me to do so. I have decided, however, to aocept the position if tendered me, providing the progress­ ive people from all parts of the county will take hold with one accord and work with enthusiasm to build up a oounty fair that shall be second to no other county fair. The people of the county are not impoverished and are perfectly able to do this if they will. McHenry county should have a fair that the peo­ ple will all feel proud of and give their enthusiastic support; a fair that shall fully and adequately represent the agri­ cultural and industrial resources of the county. A clean, up-to-date agricul­ tural fair. If the people are willing to do this, and want me to take- the place with this end in view, I am willing to do so and will do the best I can to bring about the desired result " If Mr. Hunt accepts the position we would not hesitate to predict a rousing old-time exhibition next year, that is, if he receives any encouragement at all from the farmers and business men. In gathering material for the McHenry county exhibit at the state fair Mr. Hnnt demonstrated that he is a man of "push" and determination, not knowing the meaning of that word "fail." The citizens of this county are, and should be, grateful to Mr. Hunt for his efforts in the past and will no doubt show their appreciation when the opportunity pre­ sents itself. In a recent interview H. C. Mead stated that Geo. A. Hunt would make an ideal secretary for the MoHenry county fair. Mr. Mead is in a positi to know whereof he speaks, having worked with Mr. Hunt in securing ma­ terial for the state fair, getting well ao- quainted with that gentleman's ability in such an undertaking. In fact it was Mr. Mead who first suggested the idea and that his sentiments are voiced by every farmer in the county is certain. SEE THE ART EXHIBIT .v..' W f •r«T.r. ^ Words of Commendation. MR.

A. in adjusting and pay­ ing the certificate of $8,000, which my son, Charles, held at the time of hiB death.

She had been visiting there for several days, says the Rich­ mond Gazette, and had intended return­ ing home that day, but the weather was so very bad she had decided to stay un­ til Thursday, when her motber-ta-lftw, Mrs. Barfield, would accompany her- Sometime during the early evening she was taken suddenly ill and died, sit­ ting in her chair, at the time above mentioned, Mrs- Cropley had not en­ joyed good health for some time, but the dreadful end was not thought to be so near.

Being unable to interview any mem­ bers of the family of Mrs. Henry Weg­ ener last week the obituary was incom­ plete and an error was made. Elizabeth Wegener was the daughter of Gerhard and Kathleen Neinatten, born in Ger­ many, February' 8, 1851. In 1854 she came to Chicago and to McHenry the following year. She was married to Mr. Wegener in 1869. In naming the daughters last week one name was spelled wrong.

Reproduction of Famous Paintings Cover­ ing 900 Square Feet of Wall Spaee Will be Kxhlbited.--A Rare Treat. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,' November 27, 28 and 29, the rooms at the McHenry public school building will be converted into a vertiable mu­ seum for the exhibition of art Repro­ ductions of paintings, covering 900 square feet of wall space, will be on ex­ hibition. These pictures are the prop­ erty of Horace K. Turner of Berlin who makes a business of placing them on ex­ hibition in the schools throughout the conutry. He charges nothing -for the exhibit, but the proceeds are to be spent with him for pictures for decorating the school rooms. The collection to be ex­ hibited is not chosen from any one pub­ lishing house, but is made up of the beet pictures for school decoration selected from the masterpieces of the world, the reproduction being chosen according to merit and from all the great art pub­ lishing honsea. There are 100 subjects in all. It will positively be well Worth your time and the small price of admission. You will not only be pleased, but at the same time help a good cause. In connection with the exhibit a liter­ ary and musioal program will be given each evening. Doors open from two o'clock p. m. to ten o'clock each day. Admission ten and fifteen cents. Children are powerfully affected and influenced by their surroundings. That' fact should be more generally recognised in public education by the adornment of the public schools with art objects. There is nothing more dreary and void of expression than blank walls, which stare at the children in the majority of school buildings. Those walls could be utilized to silently teaoh lessons and convey aesthetic impressions as valuable as any that are imparted by the teachers from text-books. What better way, too, to cover the walls and make them use­ ful in education than by displaying upon them good reproductions of standard art t The child sees these pictures daily, learns to ?tudy their details, and is en­ abled to comprehend their meaning. He unconsciously imbibes a taste for true art and learns something of the nomen­ clature of great pictures. The refining and elevating influence of art on the mind of the child need not be told. Additional Locals. Union services will be held at the M. E. church on Thanksgiving day at 10 a, m. Nine hundred square feet of wall space for the Art Exhibit November 27, 28 and 29.

P. G. V. Beginning with next Sunday, Nov. 38, the J. Y. P. C. U. is to ^e nnder the su­ pervision of Mrs- B- p.. Perkins. After organising and conducting the union as its superintendent for more than a year Mrs. Byrd finds her other duties so num­ erous and exacting as to necessitate her resignation, and, as a result Mrs. Per­ kins has been induced to take charge in her stead. The past year has been a very successful one, Mrs. Byrd having created among the children a great in- terfestMn the work of the union, and de­ veloped in them in the conduct of its sessions, qoth devotional &n$ business, a strength and self reliance which, to their elders, border on the marvelous. Upon its financial side the union's first year has been no less successful, as, in addition to meeting all bills for neces­ sary supplies, it has in its treasury funds nearly sufficient to meet its subscription of twenty-five dollars to the parsonage building fund, and plans are already formed, the carrying out of which is fully expected to meet the last named demand before the end of the present month. Death of Mra, Heary D«we. Mrs. Elizabeth Dowe died Thursday, Nov. 18, at nine o'clock a. m., at her home in Waukegan, after an illnees of about three weeks. She had been eick with enlargement of blood vessels and had been in a critical condition for four weeks. She leaves seven children, as follows: George, Henry, Kate, Mary, Benjamin, of Waukegan; John and Will of Wauconda. Mrs. Dowe was sixty- five years of age and lived in Lake coun­ ty thirty-nine years, having moved to Waukegan four years ago. The funer­ al was held at the Catholic church in Volo last Saturday. LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION. Union Stock Tarda, Chieaico, November M to December 6. The third Exposition at Chioago gives every promise of being a world record- breaking livestock event as to quality of exhibit. The breeders and feeders who made exhibits at the two former Expos­ itions acquired a knowledge of the im­ portance of exhibiting only the best an­ imals that can be produced. As a con­ sequence there will be a close weeding out of the herds, and high-class animals only will be entered. This will give room to more compactly arrange the an­ imals and admit of ample space for visi­ tors to move about among the exhibits. The hotel and boarding-house commit­ tee will have a full list of first-class ho­ tels and boarding houses, enabling all who come to secure first-class accommo­ dations at nominal prices. Stockmen and farmers attending this exposition from all points of the country make it the opportunity of the year for an ex­ change of ideas between the men who make the live stock" commerce of the world. The lowest rates of fare grant­ ed for any gathering of business inter­ ests will be in effect for this event. GREAT COMBINATION. The MeHenry Platndealer and Weekly Inter Ocean One Year far |1,T< Although the weekly Inter Ocean has advanced its price to the country press for the coming subscription season, we are going to give the two papers to our subscribers for $1.75 per year to all who take advantage of the offer before Jan­ uary 1, 1908. The payment must be an advance payment in every case, and it must be made before the limit indicat­ ed. This is as plain as human words can make it, and there will be no ex­ cuse for anybody ooming in after the 1st of January and asking for the two papers at this prioe, for the price will be |2 after January 1. This gives ev­ erybody an opportunity to get two good papers for a little more than the prioe of one, and if your Plaindealer is paid for until Bome time the fore part of next year, you can advance the date a year and take advantage of this offer, the Inter Ocean to begin at once.
