QUARTER OF A CENTURY Items Clipped From The Plaindealef Of Twenty-Five Tears Ago Another cold wave struck this sec­ tion on Monday. Lent begins today (Wednesday). This is somewhat earlier than for many years. A small child of Henry Meyers died on Thursday last. Also one of Theo. Meyers of the McHenry House. Miss Barbara Mills, teacher in the primary department of our public school, was on the sick list one day last week. There will be a Washington birth­ day party at the Riverside House in this villgae on Friday evening, Feb. 20. We learn that Jacob Justen has purchased the store now occupied by him as a furniture store, of E. W. Howe. We did not learn the consid­ eration. Mrs. Stephenson, wife of Chas. Stephenson of Ringwood, died on Sun­ day last after a somewhat protracted sickness. Her funeral was held from the Methodist church in that village on Tuesday, Rev. H. Slade officiating. A debating society, held in the Ger­ man language, is being held at the McHenry House hall every two weeks on Sunday evenings. On account of the storm it was not held on Sunday evening last, but will take place on Sunday evening next, Feb. 15. The board of trustees of this village have made a contract with the firm of Ballard & Bailey, bridge builders, to put a new bridge across Boone creek in this village. It is to be a first-class wooden structure and to be completed within sixty days. Messrs. Ballard & Bailey are practical men at the busi­ ness and the board will be sure of a good job. The order of Foresters in this vil­ lage has probably two of the finest flags in the county. One is a United States flag, 9x5 feet, made of silk, with a large gilt eagle on the stand­ ard. The other is the society flag, al­ so made of silk, on one side of which is the Foresters' emblem, and on the other the motto of the order. Each flag is made and decorated in the finest style and ean honor to the sentiments they represent. They were made by Bansinger Bros., Chi­ cago. W. E. Colby had quite a serious tip over- on Sunday evening last. He was going home from the village, having in the buggy Mrs. Benj. Gilbert, when, it being dark, he in some man­ ner got into the ditch just north, of the cemetery and tipped over. The horse, being a spirited one, ran away, but fortunately the occupants of the buggy escaped with only a few bruises. It being a covered buggy and the top being up, it was a miracle they were^ not killed. The buggy was left in a rather demoralized condition.

VYCITAL McHENRY, ILLINOIS Two Minute Title Talks IX. The Comfort of Really Knowing TALK IS CHEAP; and it is easy to SAY a title is good. But if your money goes into it you want to KNOW. No guesswork or supposition goes in a land deal. See that everything is O. K. and the abstract up to date. Then you have the whole transaction in black and white--a defi nite something that fixes the responsibility for those little unfamil­ iar details that make or mar your title. The abstract and the lawyer's opinion together make you safe. And "it's better to be saftMhan sorry." Knowing is better than supposing. McHenry County Abstract Co.
