It was a happy gathering of young )>eo|>le that attended the dance at Mrs. Nell's pavilion on Tuesday evening of this week. The pleasure seekers were mostly McHenry young people and a tine time is the report of those who were in attendance. Quite a number of our baseball fans went down to Crystal Lake last Sun­ day afternoon, where they saw the Richmond and Crystal Lake teams battle an eleven inning tie game. The score at the end of the eleventh round stood 2 to 2, the heavy fall of rain making it necessary to call the game. The crop outlook in this locality was never better. The weather conditions are much more favorable than existed last year and a big yield of small grain is expected. The abundant rains have been a great help all around and will be a big boost to the hay crop. The indications are that there will be plenty of fruit, an abundant yield be­ ing in prospect.
