Neit Saturday evening, December 10, the third number of the local lecture and entertainment conrse will take place at the Central opera house. Those who have attended the two previous uGuibvio of tuis wuiBO sfo loud in their praise for the high class entertainment that has been furnished and we feel sure that Geo. E. Colby, the cartoonist and lecturer, who will appear here next Saturday evening, will not disappoint any one. Thru years of splendid training and experience before the public, Mr. Col­ by has perfected it most remarkable talent as a cartoonist. He has a pleas ant personality, and draws with aston­ ishing rapidity and ease, accompanying his work on the easel with an almost continuous flow of entertaining, humor­ ous and instructive commeut The rapid transformations and changing scenes he portrays by a few simple strokes of his crayon, keeps his audience divided between wonder and applause. He usee many large sheets of paper, bringing out a large number and variety of subjects. Many of these clever drawings are used as wall decorations. Mr. Colby gives an unique and inter­ esting entertainment. In speaking of Mr. Colby's work the Chicago Daily News says: "George E. Colby, artist and lecturer, is the man who transfers a variety of conceptions from his imaginative brain to the con­ crete form of crayon pictures executed before his audience. This form of en certainment has proved to be a most satisfactory one in the lecture field, and Mr. Colby is in the front rank of snt-b entertainers. His pict uree cover a range of serious studies in landscapes, marine views and other color effects, and such absurdities as caricatures of public men or even pictures made purely to provoke amusement." This promisee to be one big treat and those who have missed the first two en­ tertainments should be on hand next Saturday night. Goancll Proceeding*.

He was denied th is honor . ! however, owing to the fact that H bruised 'eg, caused thru a kick from s horse, prevented him from passing a snccess ful examination. The subject of this sketch. Iicn^ of n most ambitious nature, next entered the bnsiuess college of Bryon A: Stratton in Chicago, where he received his diploms after finishing a succpsslnI hn-inei-s and commercial course. Returning to McHenry he. with hi^ brothers, assisted on the faun and m 1861 went to Chicago for the purpose o! haudling the milk from his father - farm, the senior Mr. Hanlv heing tin first shipper of milk from the McHenn station. He remained in Chicago hut H short time, and soon after his return the Hanly grist mill was built.

Tins ventme proved the most successful that he, during life, had nudeitakeu lu spite of the fact that his ailment was causiug him great an­ noyance and discomfoiture during the last few years he was in Chicago, he gamely stuck to it until 1891, when his physical condition forced him to sell out and return to this village. At this time rheumatism had taken such a strong clutch upou him that tor several weeks he was able to walk with the aid of crutches only. He visited all the well known health resorts in this oountry, but on each and every visit he was rewarded with but temporary relief from his sufferings. After recovering from the severe spell of 1891 he rejoined h's brother on the old farm and made himself generally useful about the place up until abont five years ago, when the farm was rented and the two brothers moved to the home where Mr. Haulj passed away. After moving to the village the de ceased's trouble grew steadily worse and it was then found tbat it was be­ ginning to affect bis heart to a serious extent. Last winter bis condition be­ came such that his physicians advised * trip to the sunuy south. As soon as be was able to make che journey a trip was made down into lower Florida. Here after a few weeks his health be­ gan to improve and after returning to this place in the spring of this year a oomplete recovery was looked for A change for the worse took place a short time before bis demise and the end came in a peaceful manner. Dnring all bis illness Mr. Hanly fought bravely to withstand tbe grim reaper, and not nntil the last day or two did he give up his struggle. He was a man of strong personality aud was universally liked. His loss is keenly felt by his living brothers and a multitude of friendB. He leaves but two brothers, George H. and Edward J.

On last Friday night the McHenry high school boys' basket ball team went to Dundee nnd defeated the Dundee hoys by the score of 23 to 14. The Dun dee boys played a much better game than they did last year, but they could uot accomplish the almost impossible, hy defeating the McHenry boys. The cbief feature of the game was the all arouud good playing of Thomas, McHenry'a star center. Be alone scored 18 of the 23 points made by McHenry, euongb to defeat Dundee by a margin of four points. He also played the en tire^ame without having a fonl called on him. On next Friday evening, Dec. tt, both the boys' and girls' basket ball teaniB of Dundee are coming to McHenry, where they will meet the boys' and gir!s' teams of the McHenry high school at the city nail. This will be the first public game in which the McHenry girls will play and they are confident of defeating the Dun dee girls. As for the McHenry boys, they know they will have to play a team seeking revenge, but they also are con tideut of winning, as they have wou tour games so far this season and have not >et been defeated. • The McHenry team had the honor of being tbe first team to play and defeat Dundee in their new gymnasium.
