The meeting was very Well attended and as a result consider­ able work' was accomplished. Lunch was served just before the home going time arrived. Tkt Jtllf Thirteen ti,. - The Jolly Thirteen met with Mrs. r*( J. C.

Bosma, second, and Mrs. '-t' F. Matthews the consolation. Re- jreshments were served at the close of the games. m Unless taken up by private citizens, MeHenry will not have a Chautauqua next summer. At least this is the declaration made by a majority of Ahe business men of this village. An agent, representing the Redpath chautauqua, was in McHenry on Thurs­ day of last week and again ou Monday of this week. He canvassed the town quite thoroly aftd wherever he stopped he informed the business man to be present at a meeting to be held at the schoolhouse Qn Monday evening. When the time arrived for the gall­ ing of the meeting it was found tbat there weren't enough present to flag a handcar. ^ A Plaindeater i*epresentative has in­ terviewed most of the business men of the villaae and finds that only a few encourage a chautuaqua. Some of those we interviewed and who were on last year's guarantee committee were still a bit hot under the collar when asked about the chau­ tauqua for next summer. In one or two instances the business man inter­ viewed threw up his arms and de- la red that never again would he as- ist in guaranteeing an outside attrac­ tion. The general opinion seems to be that McHenry hasn't the class of people who really appreciate a chautauqua course and for this reason a committee would find it a difficult task to dispose of the stipulated number of season tickets. However, a committee of private citizens may take the matter in hand and give MoHeniy a chautauqua next summer. SCHOOL NOTES ITEMS PERTAINING TO OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION A VmiMn Diniwr Mine Host.J. C. Bickler of the Mc­ Henry House entertained a party of friends at a venison dinner at his popu­ lar hostelry last Saturday evening, The dinner was on the six course order land was highly enjoyed by those who \ were fortunate enough to be present ;,The deer, which furnished part of the elaborate spread, was shot in the north- ern woods of Michigan by the genial host. Mr. Bickler, with a party of ;*?%^ ChicaS° Telephone company officials, V':' the trip to Michigan recently. '/ The party, while up in the northern woods, made their headquarters at a lumber camp about forty-live miles from Big Bay, Mich. • f' f'* OUT TO SEE COUNTRY Bay Page and Clinton Martin left McHenry Tuesday morning to see at least apart of America.

Miss Small; "What is usually con­ sidered in the later life of an author?" Guy: "Marriage." The third number pertaining to the lyceum course was held in the school auditorium Tuesday evening. Teacher: "Why do we study his­ tory?" Pupil: "Because we have to." Current events were discussed by Aileen O'Reilly, Sarah Dodge, Paul Stephenson and Vaughan Jones this week. The l%test in ancient history: The great wooden horse, used in the battle of Troy, was moved with Fords---one in each foot. 1 Genevieve and Marguerite Knox, Marion Conway, Mary Bolger and Edna Phalin were among the visitors in high school Tuesday. Don't be surprised if you get a nice leather coin purse or card case for a Christmas present. The high school pupils are making them. There was an Irish invasion of M. H. S. Tuesday afternoon. The friend­ liness of the enemy disarmed the students and, after. a good time en­ joyed by both, the enemy retreated, leaving the students in possession. The senior girls especially showed their bravery in confronting the enemy. jnHJVSRDBGB. Mr. and Mrs. Mat Jrlauen and son, Arnold, of Spring Grove were guests of relatives here Sunday. Messrs. and Mesdames Mat and J. Lay of Spring Grove passed Sunday as the guests of the latter's parents near this place. Mrs. Math. J. Mullenbach of Stacy- ville, la., is spending a couple of weeks as the guest of relatives in Johnsburgh and vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. John Jerak of Chicago passed a few days recently as guests in the home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schaefer. St. Johannes Court, No. 96, will hold election of officers next Saturday even­ ing, Dec. 12, at eight o'clock. All members are requested to be present. The church fair held recently proved one grand success, both socially and financially. The receipts of the fair, we are informed, were over $1,100 while a net balance of $900 will go into the church treasury. The parishioners of St. John's church feel highly elated over the success of the affair and also are grateful for the support tendered from outsiders. Our people were pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Joseph Jungof Spring Grove which occured at an Elgin hospi­ tal last Saturday, following a linger­ ing illness covering a period of several months. The deceased was the daugh­ ter oi Mr. and Mrs. Math J. May of Spring Grove and was married to Joseph Jung on Nov. 2, 1910. She leaves besides a husband and two chiW dren, her father, one brother and three sisters to mourn her untimely death. The funeral took place from the Catho­ lic church at Spring Grove yesterday morning, while interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. A few from here attended the funeral. Frank Smith is here from the west and is now visiting among his children. Mr. Smith left here last April, since which time he has passed his time in North Dakota, Minnesota and Iow^. However, the greater part of his time was spent in N. Dakota. Crops in the West, he informs us, were good and the farmers in general are prospering. As high as 28 bu. of barley were reaped from a single acre, while wheat aver- >1 would be incomplete without something good to eat. Well. we«have it right here. For the table we have a nice assort­ ment of good, wholesome gro­ ceries, while our line of Fruits, Candies and Nuts jras never larg-er ot more varied. When buying your Christmas eats don't forget us. We can fill your bill and do it with the utmost satis­ faction. :: :: M. M. NIESEN.
