She has always made this place her home, where she grew to womanhood. She is classed among Mc- Henry's fairest daughters and shares the esteem of countless friends and acquaintances. She graduated from the_McHenry high school ith the Class of *0*. After finishing school she taught in a number of rural districts in this locality and during the past two teems she has been teacher io the seventh and eighth grades of the Mc­ Henry puWic school.

Mr. Wray is an all-round good fellow, a pleasant young man to meet and is possessed with that disposition which makes friends for him wherever he goes. His visits to this village have been quite frequent during the past few years and it is needless for us to say that he has many warm friends in this^place as well as his home town. Mr. and Mrs. Wray are now staying at the home of the bride's parents in this village! where they will remain until next week, whop they leave for their future home at Perry, la.

' The bride carried out her part in the ceremony in a most admirable man­ ner, S&e was prettily gowned in a dress of ivory charmeuse trimmed with fur and lace. She wore the customary veil and carried lilies of the valley. Miss Celia Freund, a sister to the groom,, acted as maid of honor. She was attired in a gown of, blue brocaded charmeuse trimmed )^< veil chiffon. She carried roses. / The bridesmaids, Misses Annabelle Heimer and Elizabeth Brown, cousins to the bride, wore gowns of turquoise blue messaline and carried carqations.

Freund, highly respected residents of this township. Altho born at Spring Gnjjye, he has spent practically his whole life in the immediate vicinity of McHenry. Dur­ ing the past two years or more he has oonduoted the Riverside dairy, one of McHenry's most thrifty business enter­ prises. He' is a young man of olean habits, a good business man and is held in the very highest esteem by all who know him, and there are f©w who don't know the milk man. .

A CHRISTMAS SAVING In this issue of The Plaindealer will he found an advertisement for the Bank of MoHenry, in which that insti­ tution proposes to open a Christmas savings account with the people of Mo­ Henry and vioinity. The proposition that the bank is making the public is both a novel as well as a practical one and should receive the consideration of every reader of this paper. It will be to the advantage of McHenry's busi­ ness men to encourage and boost this Christmas saving. Read the adver­ tisement which explains the bank's proposition thoroly. THE CONCERT FAVORITES The Concert Favorites will appear as the last number of the McHenry enter­ tainment course at the Central opera house tomorrow, Friday, evening.

I' ^ WAS BELOVED BY EVERYBODY AND ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR PA8TORS Mo HENRY HAS EVER KNOWN ' Rev. D. Lehane, the popular sad be­ loved pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic church here, leaves today for his new charge, the Holy Cross parish, at Ba- tavia, to which place he was ordered by Bishop P. J. Muldoon some little time since. At the time that the popular pastor received his notification from the bishop he was confined to St» Patrick's par­ sonage thru a severe attack of acute inflammatory rheumatism. Just as soon as he was able to do so Rey. Lehane wrote and told the bishop of his condi­ tion, among other thinffs stating that it would be impossible for him to leave McHenry at that time. In reply to his communication he, wfcs told that he might i^main in McHenry until further notification. This notifi­ cation came last week and as a result McHenry is losing one of the ablest and best clergymen who had ever called this village his place of residence. To say that his parishioners are sorry to lose him Is putting it very mildly. Not only are the members of St. Patrick's church sorry to see him leave, but the citizens of the entire village, as well as residents in the rural districts surrounding McHenry. Father Lehane came to McHenry from St. James' parish, Rockford, the beginning of June 1909, he succeeding Rev. P. Bourke, who was transferred to Rochelle, 111. During the four and one-half years that he has been in McHenry the par­ ish has flourished and many noticeable improvements have been made on the property here.- Besides the many minor improvements made during, Rev. Lehane's jurisdiction here, the most noticeable ones were the installation of new heating plants at both the par­ ish house and church, the beautiflca- tlon of the grounds surrounding the parsonage and ohurch and the cleaning and beautification of the oemetery ad­ joining the church- Not only has hip work in the capac­ ity of a spiritual advisor met with favor among his parishioners and all other C&tholics of the village and com­ munity, but his many gratifying deeds as a citizen of the village have the stamp of approval df our entire popu­ lation. Rev. Lehane is a man of good, sound judgment, who believes In doing what ever good' he can for a community at all times. We credit him with being responsible for the getting together of the business men of the village, we credit him with being chiefly respon­ sible for the last two entertainment courses, we credit him with doing a big share towards the building of the' new dam in Fox river, we credit him with being a power when it comes to boosting the village of McHenry. These are only a few of the many things that the beloved pastor has ac­ complished during his short stay here. The loss of Rev. Lehane to his par­ ish as well as the village is greater than words can express and we believe that we are expressing public senti­ ment when we say, "Here's hoping that he may be returned to us." M.

Sun­ day school at 10 a. m., sermon by Miss Margaret Hess at 11 o'clock. A cor­ dial invitation is given everyone to attend both of these services. The annual masquerade of the local aerie of Eagles will take place at the Central oper» house on the evening of Jan. 29. 1 % . r s • i/y • -f 'vtWoo<«sw»c|t Sentto«l$§ji ItteVr'il. A. Laufer, pastor John's German Lutherafl church of this city, was severely 4ajured on the afternoon of Christmas day, last week Thursday, while returning by horse and buggy from McHenry, where he had held Christmas services for the congregation which he serves there, in addition to the Woodstock congre­ gation. Mr. Laufer made the trip with a livery horse and was returning home, when just outside of Woodstock, near Olson's creamery, an autoist approached to pass him from the rear. In passing there was a collision, the tfesult of which Mr. Laufer was thrown from the buggy, which was partially wrecked and the horse ran away. The accident occurred just in front of the home of W. F. Getchel. The injured pastor succeeded in dragging himself to the Getchel home, where he was taken into the house sod given all possible care. Word was sent to the livery stable, where it was learned that the horse had returned home alone. A carriage was sent and Mr. Laufer was brought to his home. His injuries, while severe and pain­ ful, are neither permanent nor dan­ gerous, consisting largely of bruises. Who the autoist was that caused the trouble is not known to the victim, as the driver, doubtless recognizing the damage he had done, simply threw the car into high speed and drove away, leaving his victim to do what he could for himself. NEXT NEETOra OF BUSINESS MEN ' The next meeting of the McHenry Business Men's club will be held at the McHenry House on Tuesday evening of next week, January 13. As has characterized past events held by this body, a sumptuous dinner will be served at the hotel at seven o'clock. Cards have been mailed to all of our business and representative men and it is hoped that this, the first meeting of the new year, will be a record- breaker so far as attendance is con­ cerned. After the dinner a business session of vital importance to every citizen of this village will take place. Among the things that will be taken up will be the report of the committees on advertising, gymnasium and others. The chairman of the club wishes to have it distinctly understood that there will be no subscriptions asked at the dinner and meeting and every business man can turn out without the fear of being asked for a donation. Judge D. T. Smiley of Woodstock wiil be here to address the meeting. NEDICAL MEN NEET Fifteen members of the McHenry County Medical soelety met at the vil­ lage hall at North Crystal Lake on Tuesday morning of this week. Pres. H. D. Hull of North Crystal Lake occu­ pied the chair and after a business ses­ sion an interesting paper read by Dr. T. A. Davis, the eminent surgeon of the West Side hospital, Chicago, was attentively listened to. A clinic on abdominal surgery featured the meet­ ing, this being the first clinic ever held in McHenry county. All told, the meeting was one of the best ever held hy that society. / his popular lectures at Stoffel's hall on Thursday evening, Jan. 15. His sub­ ject will be announced in next week's issue. Everybody will be welcome. Mr. White will probably be before the public eye jeithin the next year or two as much as any of our foremost leaders at the present time. For twenty years he has been a prominent leader In Chi­ cago and echoes of his local reputation have gone abroad. He is distinctly one of the leading orators of the Unit­ ed States today. Don't miss this op­ portunity. . A BIG JUMP ^ Elsewhere in this week's issue of The Plaindealer will be found a large display advertisement for the West McHenry State bank. The figures given in the advertisement show' con­ clusively the rapid and consistent growth that institution has experi­ enced since its birth. As will be seen by the advertisement, the deposits have increased about $16,000 In two months. Surely a record that any bank In a town the size of MoHenry could well feel proud of. * ' PARENTS' DAY AT SCHOOL On Thursday afternoon, Jan. 15, all parents and friends of education are invited to visit the public school.

Had it not been for the fir­ ing of a half dozen or more shots from guns the midnight hour would hav» passed by most unceremoniously.
