Theodore Meyers, mention of whose death was made in these columns last week, was a native of' the old country, having been born in Kreis Bitburg, Trier, Germany, on the l*th day of February, 1846, she being in her sixty-seventh year at the time of her death, which occurred at her late home at Johnsburgh on October 5. She left her native country at the age of nineteen and shortly after ar­ riving in America she was united in marriage to Theodore Meyers, the wedding having been performed at Peru, 111., which place she made her home for some time. In 1875 she, with her family, moved to Johnsburgh, 111., where, with the exception of a short time spent in Mc­ Henry, she has resided up to the time of her death. The deceased was the mother of seven children, who, with a heart­ broken husband, are left to survive. The children and their places of resi­ dence are as follows: William J. of Johnsburgh, H. H. and Mrs. M. M. Thomas of Racine, Wis., Mrs. Frank Malhieu, Mrs. Jos. Skifano, Mrs. iul. Senft aed Mrs. fchnil Simons of Chica­ go. Besides the immediate family, she leaves a host of sorrowing relatives and friends to mourn. LEAF YEAR HARVEST DANCE.

Mrs. Julia Bishop started on Mon- day for Jackson, Tenn., where she will visit with the family of E. Griswold, who formerly resided in this village Gottlieb Holey has pulled down his old Ivu-n and is putting up a new one 20x30. near the brewery. This will be an improvement that Mr. Boley has long needed. The large coal sheds of the Chicago .fc Northwestern railway at Harvard, containing 850 tons of coal, were with their contents entirely destroyed by tire on Tuesday of last week. Miss Barbara Wiedemann of this vil­ lage took five lirst premiums and one second premium on arasene and em­ broidery work at the county fair. Miss Wiedemann is about fourteen years of age. We learn that about one hundred and twenty-five persons attended the reception at the Methodist parsonage on Tuesday evening, which proved to be a very enjoyable affair. An excel­ lent musical program was rendered and refreshments in abundance fur­ nished, and taken all in all this pleas­ ant greeting must have made the new pastor and his lady feel that their lines had fallen in pleasant places. OOTOHER 19. 1887. Mrs. James Roan, an old settler of this town, died last week. (.'. A. Knight, assistant city attorney, Chicago, was out on Sunday. II. E. Wightman and wife returned from their visit in Dakota on Tuesday. Nick Bishop, who has been in Chi­ cago the past two months, returned home on Monday. Chas. Hubbard and family have moved back from Woodstock and now occupy the house lately vacated by E. Lamphere. Lew Holmes and Will Thurlwell, who have been at work in Ravens- wood, 111., for the past six weeks, were at home over Sunday. The old cheese factory, near the red bridge, is undergoing repairs and will be used as a place of meeting for the G. A. R. and the Good Templars. Died, in this village, on Sunday even­ ing. Oct. 16, 1887, Clemens EngeVp, seventy-six years. He father of M. and A. Engeln and has been a resident of this town for the past fifteen years. He was sick but a short time. Patrick Murray, who lived about three miles south of this village, died at his home on Friday morning last of inflammation of the bowels. He was sick only about a week and until a day or two before his death was not considered dangerous. He leaves a wife and thirteen children, besides a host of friends to mourn his loss. We understand burglars entered the house of James Doherty, who lives south of this village, on Sunday night last and succeeded in getting two watches and about $20 in money. Some of the men folks were awakened, but only in time to see the scoundrel make his exit. Up to the time of writing no clue has been obtained of the thief. As these gentry are now known to be around our citizens should be prepared to give them a warm re­ ception. Do not ask them to halt, but "'shoot them on the spot." H. C. Me^d, whose large barn was burned on the morning of Sept. 2, has his new barn all completed except painting and workmen are now en­ gaged at that. This barn is 42x50, with a wing 30x50, and has been put up and finished inside of two weeks. This we call quick work. Mr. Mead says he was boss with A. Calkins as head carpenter. There is one feature in this matter that no one can fail to commend. Mr. Mead bought all his lumber, nails and everything used about this mammoth building at home, and employed none but hoine work­ men, and now that he is ready to re­ place the hay which he lost by the Are and must have, he is ready to buy that at home, provided he can get it anywhere near as cheap as it can be procured elsewhere. Those who are willing to -live and let live" must ad­ mit this is right. We hear of a fishing party that started out one day last week pro­ visioned with the following supplies: 1 'ack of cards.

That fifty thousand Was what he could have For the formula of » His wonderful salve. And it said in the message That if it didn't rain A party would come out Upon the next train. And Bill felt so tickled He was ready to shout. Of the truth of it all He had not a doubt. So off to the depot Soon William didhftte, And he stayed there all day And part of the night. And he met every train, Both passenger and freight, And he wore off the paint From a big bakery crate. And this is good proof That can't be denied, That Bill thought the message Was all bona fide. And behind several corners, Where Wm. couldn't see, Stood those who were wise, Laughing with glee. But a friend of old William's, Who was feeling quite vexed, Just to do something mean Did put Wm. next. And had It not been That he whispered to Bill, The presumption is he Would be sitting there still. And then to get even Old Wm. did scheme, And he bought fifty pencils And of paper a ream. He bought several wicks And oil for his light, ' And his thoughts of the day Were recorded at night. Yes, he felt awful bad, Sometimes he felt worse, And his only relief Was to compose verse. We Wire quite entertained V|. Everybody's Doing It What? Why, buying their groceries and fruits of us, to be sure.
