Wentworth on Thursday evening of this week from 8 to 10 o'clock. A program has been prepared. We understand that James Carr of Ringwood was severely bitten in the hand by a hog he was butchering on Monday. His thumb was so badly lacerated that it was thought it would have to be amputated. The Knickerbocker Ice company commenced operations on the pond on Monday and will put on a full force of men and fill their ice houses here, and should the weather prove favor­ able may put up additional buildings. There will be a township Sunday school convention at the M. E. church in this village on Sunday, Feb. 1, 1891. Several interesting papers have been prepared and no pains will be spared to make the convention both pleas- rant and profitable to all who attend. A crowded house greeted the ap­ pearance of the colored troup, "The Jinglers," at the city hall on Thurs­ day evening last. The entertainment was a good one and entirely worthy of the liberal patronage the people of McHenry grave them. The audience was appreciative and encored the col­ ored artists repeatedly. . L. E. Bennett, commander of the G. A. R. post here, has received the ap­ pointment of aid-de-camp to the com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the United States. Commander- in-Chief W. G. Veazey and Capt. Bennett were officers in the same com­ pany during the rebellion and his ap­ pointment to this honorable position now, unsolicited as it was, is no doubt but a just recognition of valuable ser­ vices at the front at a time when our country sorely needed help. The New England supper, by the ladies of the Willing Workers' soci­ ety, at the city hall, on Tuesday even­ ing, was well attended and the pro gram a highly interesting one. The supper was one of the best, consist ing of pork and beans, Jwown bread, and all the substttntials of a regular New England supper, and the ladies who had it in charge are certainly deserving of great praise, not only as to the bountiful supply, but also as to the manner in which it was served. Taken all in all the enter­ tainment was one of the finest of the season. Chicken feed at M. M. Niesen's. 5 per cent farm loans. D. F.Quin lan. Mrs. Stacia Knox was a recent Cary visitor. Mrs. C. E.
