Roy er's place at St. Mary's church at Mc­ Henry, which has been current for some time past, was utterly without founds tion. We are plea^ted to correct our­ selves in this respect and further wish to state that the parishioners of St. M ary's church at McHenry would deeply regret the departure of their beloved pastor, who, during his reign in McHenry, hss not only endeared himself to the members of his flock, but, to the populace of the village as well. The McHenry folks no doubt are very much pleased to know that their pastor is not to be removed. illllUKFFBUx Mrs. H. N. Cooper was an Elgin vis­ itor Tuesday. Mrs. A. G.

Payers like character and indi­ viduality and homes" that possess them frequently bring much higher prices than houses built merely for use.
