AN EVENT OF ELEGANCE Tdth Anniversary of Its Fowdhf 8ept U Wotiday, Sept. 11, the ufltaeis and directors of the West McHenry State bank celebrated the tenth anni­ versary of its existence in a most ap­ proving and elegant manner. In response to their .previous an­ nouncement and invitation, scores of visitors and patrons took this oppor­ tunity of calling to rejoice with the members and congratulate the share holders, and all, on the splendid show­ ing made by this banking institution during the past ten years, trusting that the same progress and mutual relatons would continue for many years to come. Visitors were greeted moat; cor­ dially by the bank officials, every man being treated to a choice cigar and the ladies presented with a rose. On this occasion the little folks were ndt 'forgotten, when they were made hap­ py by being presented with pretty green and white banks registering dimes to one dollar, hoping to encour­ age a savings account. The interior, artistically decorated with roses and ferns, combined with its plain elegance, presented a most attractive and delightful harmony. Placards were conspicious thruout the bank as an inspiration and incentive to economy and thrift, showing most surprisingly the advantage of an early start and the accumulation of small weekly savings. At the business meeting in the aft­ ernoon officers were elected, as fol­ lows: Dr. C. H. Fegers of this vil- I^V'- • &K- ,*• Miss Maude Granger of Chicago ,iage was elected president to succeed the week end as the guest of g l, Wagner, who found it necessary her -sisters neve. to resign as president, having served Mr. and Mrs. A.

This closed the most memorable day in the history of the bank and the members hope that the cordial busi­ ness relations now existing with pat­ rons may continue for many, many years.

A number of our exchanges ha^e reported thefts of automobiles dur­ ing the past few weeks. Crystal Lake's public library, which has been closed during the past two months, was reopened last Sunday. The public schools of Richmond opened up last week Monday with an attendance of 142, a ^decrease of one from last year. Actual work on Hebron's new elec­ tric lighting system has begun and the citizens of that village are re­ joicing more than ever. Most of the business men of Crys­ tal Lake closed up shop last Friday noon and attended the county fair in a body, making the trip via automo­ bile. Lightning struck a pile of scrap iron and junk at Hebron one day last week and those residing near the junk dealer received quite a shock, altho no damage was done. Amateur burglars paid Richmond a visit one night recently and broke in­ to the offlee of the lumber company as well as the freight room at the depot. They found nothing of value. T. B. Merwin *of Woodstock has sold his furniture business to Slavin & Eastman, furniture dealers of that city, the change having been made last week, and how our county seat has one less furniture establishment. In three days recently 166 car­ loads of sheep were received at the sheep feeding yards at Kirkland. They were all lambs and, figuring 275 head to the car, 45,650 sheep were fed and watered daring the three days. 'The board of Grayslake has finally decided to give that village a new electric lighting system. The lights will be twenty-eight in number and wUl be of the 100 watt type, which, the dads say, will light up the village even better than "under the old sys­ tem. A Chicago automobile ran into a newly covered ditch at Grayslake one night recently and as a result the village of Grayslake and the sewer­ age contractor are threatened with legal proceedings. The owner of the automobile, which was damaged con­ siderably, claims that the ditch was unprotected by danger lights. George Dettmer, a well* known farmer residing near Sycamore, was attacked and trampled upon by a cow and died from the effects of the in­ juries received one day recently. He was attacked when he attempted to drive the cow and a new born calf from the field to the barn. Mr, Dett­ mer was seventy years of age. Gupiyslake is to have its second banking house in the near future. It will be known as the State Bank of Grayslake and 'tis said that the stock holders will be composed of some of Grayslake's very best and most re­ liable business men and farmers. Ap­ plication for a state charter has al­ ready been made and a new building of the very latest design will be erected immediately. Ben Raue of Crystal Lake lost his fast pacing mare, "Lucile Gratton," last week while the animal was being driven from Libertyville to Wood­ stock. Near Volo the animal stum­ bled and fell, breaking the pelvis bone in her left hip, making it necessary to chloroform her to put her out of misery. She had a mark of 2:17& and has won many races during the past five or six years. William A. Rosing of Round Lake has tendered his resignation as presi­ dent of the village board of that vil­ lage. He has sold his interests there and will move to Antioch, where he will open a garage. While at Round Lake Mr. Rosing was engaged in the garage business with Martin Thelen, the firm having sold over 200 Fords ^nd Overlands in the past year. R. J. Warner, the Crystal Lake fur­ niture dealer, who some 'time ago rented his .store building to the Pugh Stores company of Chicago, is get­ ting the place ready for the new ten­ ants, who expect to move in some time this month. The new concern will occupy both floors and will con­ duct one of the largest general mer­ chandise establishments in McHenry county. The Columbia hotel at Richmond which has changed hands about as aften as any hostelry in northern Illinois, is once more under new man­ agement Chas. Hahn, who has con­ ducted the place during the past fcummer, has disposed of his interests to H. F. Wettengel of that village. The new proprietor has been engaged in the bakery business in that village the past two years and his friends there believe that he will be success­ ful in his new NEW SISTER8 IN CHAR&B Of St. Mary's Parochial School--Op­ ened Monday, Sept. 12 St. Mary1* school opened Tuesday in all earnestness with an increased attendance. Monday was registra­ tion day. After special religious ex­ ercises school sisters were kept very busy the first half day. After in­ spection the four' class rooms were found to be filled. The eighth grade has two more scholars than last year. The seventh and sixth grades are well attended, likewise the middle grades, while the primary grades are excep­ tionally strong and well provided for in their happy, new location. Sister Simeona is right at home with the little ones and, like the other sisters, shows herself to be an ex­ perienced teacher. Sister Florita has charge of the third grade. Sister Columba, fourth and fifth grades. Sis­ ter Benigna, the superioress, teaches sixth, seventh and eighth grades. All the teachers are beaming with satis­ faction over the splendid attendance and promise a big, year at St., Mary's. Since German is optional, several English speaking children have taken advantage of the opportunities and registered at St. Mary's. Christian doctrine will be taught 'in English, likewise all the following branches: Arithmetic, U. S. history, physiology and hygiene, agriculture, grammar, language, spelling, reading and com­ position. All loyal catholics are bound to send their children to a school where the heart is educated and religious knowledge imparted. The Rt. Rev. Bishop is very proud of the progress and high standard achieved my St. Mary's school and' a visit from his lordship is expected to the near ture. Tuition, like, last year, is 50 cents per month. Where three children at­ tend from one and the same family the third child is free. Many chil­ dren, however, have, been entered free where parents cannot afford to pay the fees. From the school fees the school sisters receive their living. « MASONS ENTERTAIN O.

About seventy-five were present and enjoyed themselves on the spa­ cious grounds all day. At noon a picnic dinner with hot meat and coffee was relished by the immense crowd. A baseball game was among the afternoon sports and bowling also enjoyed. After a light luncheon of "Masons' hospitality" sandwiches the crowd, which came by auto and boat, went home appreciating the entertainment given in honor of the Order of ern Star. ^ .

JWilmot Again Sunday Wilmot still believes that they can defeat the McHenry Sox and will be in McHenry for a return game next Sunday. The Sox had to hustle to beat the band to defeat this classy outfit last Sunday and another battle may be looked for at the ball yard next Sunday afternoon. t That the two teams are very evenly matched is seen by last Sunday's score, when the Sox nosed out their sturdy opponents in the last half of the ninth inning 6 to 5. The game will be called at the customary hour and the usual prices of admission will prevail.

Lumley carried the day in the town of McHenry, getting more than twice as many votes as Joslyn and Barnes combined. While a number of the more conservative voters had figured that Lumley would be given a good majority here, no one looked for him to carry the day by such an over- whelming majority. ? Lumley la Winner Reports from the county morning are to the effect that Vincent S. Lumley is the Republican nominee for the state's attorney, the Vote of the county being as follows: Josyn • • • 12781 Barnes 2055 Lumley'.;.. 3181 Reports from the same source state that Shurtleff and Vickers are renom­ inated as representatives on the Re­ publican ticket, while Hayes is lead­ ing Graham in McHenry county by about 600 votes. Hayes claims that he is the nomijnee on the Democratic ticket. As we go to press both, the Repub­ lican candidates for senator claim themselves winners. Olson carried McHenry county by 222, while Swift carried Boone county by 147; both candidates claim Lake county by about 200. > , Hamer and Peck Win Theo. Hamer is the Reptttflffrar- nominee for the office of circuit clerk, while Chas. C. Peck of Harvard won out as coroner. No Corneal By Democrat As no contests for county officers were waged by the Democrats, the regularly filed ticket went in. The ticket is as follows: Circuit clerk, Jacob R. Justen; state's attorney, J. E. Barber; coroner, Dr. W. Hepburn. Watier J. Walsh of this place is the regular nominee for state sena­ tor on the Democratic ticket, while Michael J. Breen has been given the Democratic nomination for senatorial committeeman. -r^-ry. • f <*>>• • - . ' A Beaotiful Mwwt fhf j§| J. H.
