Bey, Arthur Roberts, pastor. Reg­ ular services next Sunday. Preaching at 10:30 a. m. and Sunday school at 11:45 m. Friends, a word! Let us not wait for others to fill our places and perform our duties that the church makes and reveals for us. The Christ­ ian church is the conservatory of best things for society, state and nation, and in every respect that the church is ad­ vanced is better for these. The church may do without us; but we cannot do without the church. That Sunday ap­ pears to be less sacred than any other day of the week and given over almost entirely to things which discourage not only the good efforts of the church bat the effort of well-intending institutions, is a cause for alarm. Let us make our plans to attend church and Sunday, school next Sunday. Everybody cor­ dially invited. A CREDITABLE SHOWING MADE DURING FIRST MONTH OF SCHOOL. More Interest Taken by Both Pupil* and Teachers than £T«( Before--Vfillort are Always Welcome. Prof. Horace A. Hollister, high school visitor for the state of Illinois, made our school a pleasant call last week and so thoroly was he pleased with the nat­ ure and character of the work that our school now stands only three points short of complete accredited relation. This is as many credits as we can have until another year of foreign language is added and made elective. Our boys and girls who graduate from the Mc­ Henry high school can now enter the State University without an outlay of $400 for one year in the preparatory de partment. Thursday andi Friday of this week have been appointed as visiting days for our teachers, who will spend the time visiting Chicago schools, Elgin schools and schools of McHenry county. We publish with extreme pride the report of the first month's wdrk of the McHenry public school. Never before in its history has the school been in bet­ ter condition than now--a fact which must be appreciated by every citizen in McHenry. The instructors have en­ tered the work with the determination to make this year one of the most suc­ cessful ones, and this they can accom­ plish with the hearty co-operation of pupils and parents. There is one thing which we, wish to call the public's at­ tention to, and that is in regard to vis­ iting the school. In the past few years the reports have shown very few visit­ ors. If at any time you have a few hours of leisure make it an opportunity to visit our school and see for yourself what pupils and teachers are doing. You are always welcome. Below we give the names of those who have made a satisfactory report for the month of September- Total days' attendance. . 8845 Total Enrollment 908 Per cent attendance .... 98 Average Attendance. 196 Cases tardiness... 12 Visitors 19 Chancy Harri Joe Sutton Leone Kelley Maude Granger Walter Freund Miss AGNBS A/PKRRY.

Fred Kamholz, the West Side tonsor- ial artist, has purchased the paper route of Gilbert McOmber and took possession the first of the month. During the time that Gilbert had the route he served his patrons in a highly satisfac tory manner, and he is worthy of more than a little praise for his business abil­ ities. Mr. Kamholz, who now takes charge of the route, is a hustler, and that his patrons will receive the best of service is a foregone conclusion. He is an accommodating yonng man and is always ready to do favors for those de­ serving them. Benefit Dane*. ' * The parishioners of the Volo Catholic church will hold a grand ball at J. W. Bonslett's dance pavilion, Lily Lake, 111., on the evening of October 11, the proceeds of which go into the church treasury. Everybody is invited to at­ tend and help along a worthy cause. Good music Ttvill be in attendance and a good time is promised. Dance tickets are only 75 cents. Card of Thanks. We desire to thank the friends and neighbors who assisted as in onr recent sorrow. Also the ones who took part in the singing. WALTEB WIATERMAN AND FAMILY, H. L. WATERMAN AND FAMILY, ANNA WATERMAN, A.

Howard Wattles Hettie Randall Alice Olson Irma Watson Flossie R»ndaH -^Leonard Phillips Jpilbert McOmber The Drs. Fegers have just completed their plans for the fitting up of a first class city office and as soon as the car penters, who are now at work on the Mrs. M. A.Searles building, will have finished. Dr. C. H. Fegers, Jr., will oc cupy the same. The apartments thus vacated will at once be converted into office rooms which, when completed will be not only the most complete of­ fice building in the county, but the best fitted and largest north of Chicago. During the senior doctor's long exper ience in McHenry he has always felt that the present undertaking is jast what the people have wanted, and now he has come to the conclusion that they shall have it. The office will consist ot nine rooms, and among other things the following office apparatus will be in­ stalled : X-ray machine, Finsen ray, wall plate with the different currents, vibrator, hot-air apparatus, laborator­ ies, and a model and up-to-date operat­ ing room. This will give McHenry people the opportunity, which no other city or town in the county provides, of being treated right here at home. The people of McHenry have every reason to bail this new project with mucn joy, as it will do away with a great many Chi­ cago hospital trips, so much feared by all. Nelson Eby Dead. Nelson Eby, who until about a month ago conducted the McHenry bakery, passed away at his home in this village last Thnrsday, after a long illness. Mr. Eby had been ailing for some time, but up to the above mentioned time he was able to look after his bakery business. Mr. Eby came to McHenry about two years ago, and since making his home here he has thru honest dealings and, courteous treatment gained for himself a fine business and a host of friends. The remains were taken to Aurora, Mr. Eby's "former home, where interment took place. His wife and little daugh­ ter have the sincere sympathy of our people in this, their sad bereavement.
