If you are interested we can show you all the latest models of which this is but one of many. Interna­ tional clothes are always progressive and embrace the very newest Metropolitan ideas. The fabrics for outing suits are extremely- dashy and extensive in range and not at all like the stuff you see in ready made appar­ el. They're a trifle more exclusive and that means everything to men of taste and re­ finement. To measure only, of course, and at extremely moderate rates. :: Hats, Shoes, Oxfords, Shirts, Collars, Ties and other toggery to complete the outfit. Call and see them. Yours truly, M. J. WALSH. WEST ricHEWRY, ILLINOIS ITERS CUWE0FHOM MJUNDEALEX (W TWENTY-FIVE YKARS AM.' «8s* j QUARTER OF A CENTURY, Died--In Ringwood, on Friday after* nooti last, Richard H. Carr, aged fifty- five years. The steamer "Mamie" is now mak­ ing regular trips between MoHenry and the lakes. Shepard & Son are now receiving a large quantity of clover blossoms daily and their dryer is running to its fullest capacity. The management of the McHenry county fair has secured the couple to get married Sept. 21. Presents are now in order. Frank Going had the misfortune to mash one of his fingers badly while at work in the brick yard on Monday. It will lay him up for several days. Cnas. C. Colby has left a strawberry on our desk which he picked from his garden on Tuesday, which measures 41 inches in circumference. Who can can beat it? The trial of Jas. G. Templeman, for involuntary manslaughter, at Wood­ stock last week, resulted'in a disagree­ ment of the *jury, eight being for ac- quital and four for conviction. E. M. Owen has been painting the front of his block, the store occupied by H. V. Shepard being handsomely fainted in colors, while the store oc­ cupied by O. W. Owen will hereafter be known as the "Red Front." And still the improvements go on. v There are a great many men who can't pay for a paper, but they invari­ ably have an abundance of the neces­ sary article required to edit one, apd are not a bit stingy with their valuable and much needed (?) advice as to just how a newspaper should be conducted. May their souls rest in peace! The shelves in Lincoln's restaurant in West McHenry, which were packed full of canned goods, fell with a crash one day last week, breaking all his show cases and burying Mrs. Lincoln under the ruins. Fortunately she was not severely injured, but badly fright­ ened. The damage would amount to $10 or 115. AN ORDINANCE.
