One hundred and fifteen eighth grade pupils, who had finished the work of the eight grades, received promo­ tional certificates to high school. More than ninety of these pupils sig­ nified their intention to enter high school this fall. Their tuition this year will be paid out of a state fund from the office of the county superin­ tendent. It is to be noted, however, that no tuition can be paid unless the pupils attend a high school that has received the O. K. of the state de­ partment at Springfield. No tuition can be paid for boys and girls who attend high schools in Wisconsin. Superintendent A.. M. Shelton gave a short address, explaining these and other points pertaining to recent leg­ islation and made a strong appeal to the boys and girls, urging them to attend high school if possible. He also spoke concerning the education­ al progress that had been made in McHenry county and of the new work that would be attempted at the open­ ing of the schools this fall, particu­ larly of the phonetic work that would be taught for the first time in the rural schools of McHenry. county. "This," he said, "will necessitate a number of teachers' meetings and we have scheduled one for each month during the months of October, No­ vember and December, which will be held on the first Saturdays. This means considerable sacrifice and ex­ pense on the part of the teachers tc attend these meetings and I ask the public to not forget that it is the disposition of the teachers of Mc­ Henry county to do their share in bringing up the schools of McHenry county to every possible standard. Every encouragement should be given them by the directors and pat- trons of the rural schools, • as addi­ tional responsibility is being placed upon them other than the routine work of the one room schools. These meetings are necessary and I have asked them to reimburse themselves from their basket social funds that they obtain from their school pro­ grams." The four highest averages in the county were announced, as follows: First--Iva Taylor, average 95, of dis­ trict No. 7, teacher, Miss Mary Gast; second--George Engstrom, average 94, of district No. 69, teacher, Miss Anna Duggen; third--Esther Pear­ son, average 93, of district No. 77, teacher, Miss Florence Welch; fourth--Madaline Meyer, average 92, of district No. 64, teacher, Miss Lew­ is* Winn. Approximately thirty pupils took part in the county spelling contest and considerable interest was evi­ denced during the process of ascer­ taining who was the champion speller in McHenry county. The contest was spirited and showed evidence of good work on the part of the pupils Mid teachers. Many "big" words were reduced to the ordinary as they were pronounced. Anna Wurtzinger of the South Dunham school won first place. Her teacher was Miss Ruby Teeple. Thomas Frisby of the Sher­ man Hill school won second place. His teacher was Miss Ella Mollohan. Grace Schacht of the Vandercarr school won third place. Her teacher was Miss Mildred Palmer. Promotional certificates : to enter high school were .awarded by County Superintendent A. M. Shelton, who also conducted the spelling contest. Appropriate ribbons were awarded to the winners of the spelling contest and gift books were also presented them. Mrs. A. M. Shelton sang "Carissima" and a selection from Schubert. At the close of the meeting, at noon, thru the courtesy of the Mc­ Henry County Fair association, com­ plimentary tickets--^ the fair were given to all the eighth grade boys and girls whose names appeared on the program and also to all the teachers in attendance. *v. m Auditors' Meeting Notice is hereby given that the Board of Auditors of the Town of MeHenry, County of McHenry, Illi­ nois, will meet at the Town Clerk's office in West McHenry, 111., on the 7th day of September, A.

"Henpecked Henry" ,If play goers with an ingrowing grouch will take it to the Central next Sunday evening, where Halton Powell's famous musical comedy, "Jlenpecked Henry," will hold forth for one night only, they will find a tore cure and immediately come to the conclusion that the man who in­ vented laughter wrote the play.' It is entitled to the blue ribbon in the Musical comedy class. An especial ftp.ture is mad? of thg magnificently f^Mitumed choras. - Otic Perkins' comedy company is .playing at Riverside hall this week. A large number from this village and vicinity attended Barnum'a show at Elgin last week. Quite a number from this vicinity attended the Woodman's picnic at Diamond Lake on the 22nd and re­ port an interesting time. Our public school opened on Mon- iday with a good attendance in every department. There is every indica­ tion of a prosperous school year. The Universalist Sunday school will hold its annual picnic on the grounds of G. W. and O. N. Owen at Pistakee Bay on Saturday of this week. One hundred dollars a side and the gate receipts is the prize to be con­ tested for at the driving park to­ morrow, Thursday. McHenry vs. Wauconda. The McHenry baseball nine went Jo Wauconda on Friday last and played a match game with the club at that place, which resulted in a victory for McHenry by the score of 18 to 16. The West Side postoffice was moved last week from the store of Stevens & Miller to the building one door east, where it was formerly lo­ cated. It makes a neat and conven­ ient office. We learn that Chas. H. Donnelly has been appointed county judge by Gov. Fifer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Gilmore. Mr. Donnelly is the Republican can­ didate for judge and will be elected to that office for the full term in November. Died--In Macomb, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., August 22, 1890, Susan, wife of William Mills, aged fifty-eight years. Deceased was the mother of Miss Mills, teacher of the primary department of our public school, and sister-in-law of Mrs. J. Van Slyke. John J. Miller, of the late firm of Stevens & Miller, has bought out the interest of Mrs. C. V. Stevens and will hereafter conduct the business at the old stand. He is one of otir most enterprising young business men and we wish him unbounded suc­ cess, which he is sure to attain if hard work and push will do it. That the Woodstock fair last week was a success no one will attempt to deny. The weather was all that could have been asked for and, with the world-wide reputation of the McHen­ ry county exposition, to say that it would not draw a crowd under such favorable circumstances would be folly. The officers have been inde­ fatigable in their duties and are en­ titled to great praise for the manner in which their work has been done and the success attending it. In short, the McHenry county fair of 1890 can be pronounced a success financially and otherwise. Baseball Sunday and Monday Three games will be pulled off at the local ball yard next Sunday and Monday. The Chicago Regents, one of the fastest semi-pro teams in Chi­ cago, will be the attraction on Sun­ day. The Regents have lost but three games thus far this season and only recently defeated the fast Rose- land Eclipse team of that city, which means that they have some team. On Monday, Labor day morning, at ten o'clock, the local team will appear against the Englewood Council, K. of C., team of Chicago. This team has Won two pennants in the K. of C. league in Chicago during the past few years and put up an excellent article of ball. They will be accom­ panied to McHenry by two hundred rooters, so it would be no more than right to have the McHenry fans turn out in numbers for this game. In the afternoon of the same day, at 2:30 o'clock, the Moore & Evans team of Chicago will hook up with the Sox. This team has trimmed up McHenry on two different occasions this season and McHenry is out for revenge, so this should terminate into a hummer. General admission, 25? cents; ladies and children, 15 cents. Jos. Pekovsky Dead Jos. Pekovsky, who twenty-five years ago was in business in this vil­ lage, passed away at his late home in Chicago last Thursday morning, following an illness of several months in duration. While a resi­ dent in McHenry he was engaged in the saloon business and also was a manufacturer of cigars. He and his family left this village about twenty- five years ago. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn. The funeral was held in Chicago on Monday morning of this week. Deceased was about sixty-four years of age.

Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Smith, who left McHenry several years ago for Oregon, has been made a foreign missionary and sailed on the Mag­ nolia Wednesday of last week on her long voyage to India. Misses Ethel and. Jennie Smith have both been successful school teachers in Oregon for several years and the former is still engaged in school work there. We herewith reproduce a clipping taken from the Pacific Christian Ad­ vocate, published at Portland, Ore. The article will be interesting, as it tells of Miss Smith's work in church: 'Two years ago a memorable re­ vival service was, conducted by the pastor in the Woodstock (suburban) church of Portland. Numbers of young people were led to Christ and pledged to His service. To one young woman, already an earnest Christian worker, there sounded once again ah insistent call, to which she was unwilling to listen--a call to fcerve in the foreign field. The struggle was severe--home, the boys and girls of her school room, the' work of the church, Sunday school and Epworth league, to which she was devoted, gripped her heart with tremendous force and were not soon butweighted in the balance before her. But finally, on the eve of the last special meeting, the victory was won and the miracle of abound­ ing joy instead of heaviness, and of eagerness in place of reluctance, was wrought within. From that dates her glad response to the call, 'Here art" I, send me.' Miss Smith was ac- cepted- one year ago as one of our missionary candidates. She would have gone to the field last fall had not the disturbed conditions followed the outbreak of the Eurpean war made delay seem advisable. Her ap­ pointment is to North India, one cen­ ter of that great 'mass movement' toward Christianity which is chal­ lenging the effort of the church--to plead for which Bishop Warne is Summoned from India. One more missionary is ready. Who will send or help to send her?" Dance at Smith's Hall A dance will take place at Smith's hall, Johnsburgh, on Saturday even­ ing, Sept. 4. Manager Smith is pre­ paring for a big crowd on this occa­ sion and all of the young people of Johnsburgh and vicinity have already assured him of their presence at his hall on this occasion. Everything is being done to make this one of the biggest and best holiday events ever held at the hall. The Northern Illi nois orchestra will furnish the music and dance tickets will sell at 50 cents. You are invited.
