Dr. and Mrs. Bfiettner of Chicago pASsed Sunday at their cottAge np the It was with A feeling of the deepest regret that our citizens bade Rev. M. W. Barth farewell this week, previous to his departure for Los Angeles, Cal­ ifornia, Wednesday, "Which city he will make hie home for the next two yean at least, if not permanently. The worthy and most highly esteemed pastor leaves MeHenry with the good wishes of our people in general. And with the hope -that he may return to MeHenry at some future day in the best of health. The change to California is made on the advice of the pastor's phy­ sicians, who have decided that a milder clime would be the only source for the regaining of his former strength and health, which has been o*» the decline for some 3'eara past. It was wish a view to recovering his good health that Re(r. M. W. Barth came to MeHenry some seven years ago, and while it is true that he has been benefited by the change, yet his ailment has been more or lesg perplexing all these years. In spite of all this, however, Rev. Barth has shown himself to be a most courageous and hard working man , as his exceptionally fine record will reveal. Since coming to MeHenry the reverend pastor has been a most successful leader in St. Mary's parish, both in the die pending of his spiritual duties and the carrying on of the business duties of the parish. Over two thousaud dollars of the total indebtednels has been paid off improvements to the extent of several thousands of dollars have been made on the church property. and the addition of over fifty families to the parish is the complete record set as.de by him, one of which he and every member of the parish has every reason to feel proud, Rev. Barth is a model American citi aen--kind, sympathetic and courageous in disposition, and strong and far seeing in mind. For twenty-nine years he has served the Master as pastor, having been or daiued to the priesthood by Bishop Fo ley in. Chicago in the month of June, 1878. His first four years as pastor were served as assistant in St. Francis church, Chicago, where his work was being watched with keen interest. Re­ alizing bis exceptional qualifications the bishop next sent him to South Chit-ago, where he founded both the St. Peter and Paul and St. Francis DeSalis church es. After eight years of most success ful work in South Chicago he was again chosen to found a new church in Chica­ go--St. Teresa's. For ten years be re­ mained at the head of St. Teresa's, at the expiration of which time his failing health necessitate^ a change. Me Hen ry was the charge assigned him, and he has remAined in eimrge here uatil^this week. " His successor is Rev. A. Royn, late of Buffalo Grove, who comes to MeHenry highly recommended.
