It is oommon knowledge about town that the baseball team still has some indebtedness, while there isn't enough money in the treasury to meet these obligations. The manager of the ball dub as well as the members of the team are anxious that those having bills against the club be paid and with this idea in vie«\ the boys are going to work hard to make enough money with which to clear the slate. The members of the Just Us club, which on past occasions has been very kind to the ball club, has again con­ sented to do their part in making the dance a success and will have charge of the hall decorations and will also lend their aid wherever needed. This means that the dance is bound to terminate into a big success and those who turn out have, in advance, assurance of royal treatment and a good time. Wynkoop's Woodstock orchestra has already been engaged for the occason, which means that the best of music will be provided. Dance tickets will be sold at $1.00, while an admission fee of 25 cents will be charged the spectators. Everybody welcome.

Monear, sold the place one day last week to Carl Anderson, who occupies the Charles Haldeman farm. The ftionear place consists of 113 acres and Mr. Anderson paid $13,000, which means that Mr. Monear cleared $2,000 by making a new deed to the farm that he owned a few days. Mr. Monear has been looking at land around Hebron and may possibly conclude to invest in a place near that village, where farms are now commanding very high prices. The appearance of a new species of wild duck in Lake county this fall is creating much discussion among the nimrbds, says the Harrington Review.

MARRIEI FIFTY YEARS AG0 N'H™Y DEREATS CRYS™ LAKE fflt AND Mft&JANCSirBONAI* CEL­ EBRATE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ~HAPPY EVENT TOOK PLACE AT NoDONALD HONE HERE SUNDAY-MEARLY FIFTY GUESTS PRESENT The second golden wedding anniver­ sary to take place in McHenry this fall occurred Sunday, when 'Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald, who reside on John street, on the West Side, celebrated this rare event.

Mr. and Mrs. McDonald were united in marriage by Father Brennen at Richmond, 111., on November 6, 1864, and ever since |hat time have resided in McHenry county.

Hut- son, which occurred at Albuguerque, N. M., on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Mr. Farrell is well and favorably known to many of our young people as he worked on different farms in this vicinity some years ago. Since leav­ ing McHenry Mr. Farrell has traveled quite extensively and now holds a very lucrative position with a railroad com­ pany in the south. The couple will be at home at Encino, N. M., after No­ vember 15. McHenry friends extend congratulations. " ELECT OFFICERS The members of the Woodland Ceme­ tery association met at the home of Mrs. T. J. Walsh recently.

Clapton, and Joseph C. Holly, secre­ tary. The members present approved of the work done by the cemetery association. Chi< feed at M. M. Nieeen^ LOCAL ELEVEN POTS OP STRONG GAME ^AND WINS NARDILY The MeHenry high school football team journeyed to Crystal Lake last Saturday afternoon, where they met the Crystal Lake highs on their own field. These two teams clashed here a few weeks ago, when the McHenryites won the contest by a score of 9 to 0. This was the first game ever indulged in by either team. Since this game Mc­ Henry has bumped vp against the real proposition on two different occasion^ and, judging from Saturday's score, the experience gained did them a world of good, as they succeeded in whipping Crystal Lake by the score of 33 to 1. The local team showed a big im­ provement over past performances and if they keep on improving as they have in the past three w^eks we can see where McHenry will have a classy littlq^team by the time the season of 1915 rolls around. Every member of the team was in the game from start to finish last Sat­ urday and before Crystal Lake had time to size up the McHenry squad the home lads had crossed the line for the firet touch-down of the game. From this time until the finish of the con­ test McHenry proved a dangerous en emy and it seemed that they were ever playing near their own goal. One very pleasing feature of the game was that the home boys had gotten over their fumbling habits, which in previous battles stood out so prominently, anj? also that they are fast getting onto the game as it should be played. They used some exceptionally good plays for a team that is just starting out and Coach Smalley is worthy of more than a little credit for the man­ ner in which he is whipping the team into shape. A double forward pass, faultlessly ex­ ecuted by our boys, was one of the big features of the game, while the toe work of Petesch was also pleasing to the handful of local fans who went down to watch the contest. McHenry in all fairness should have scored thirty-nine points instead of thirty-three, as five instead of four touch-downs were made by our side. The fifth touch-down was not counted for the reason that the referee ruled the home boys off side. The Crystal Lake-boys played hard to win and are deserving of credit for the fight they put up. They worked a forward pass successfully, but outside of one instance, when one of their men went thru our line for a touch-down, they found our defense too strong. Our boys are scheduled to play the Marengo highs at Marengo on Thanks­ giving day. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Every Sunday ought to be Go-To- Church-Sunday.
