Miss Caroline Miller spent Monday and Tuesday with friends and rela­ tives in McHenry. Fred Schaefer and Joe Michels of Chicago were over Sunday guests in their homes here. e Driving thru fields and along fences has become quite the general thing in this locality. Miss Theresa Huemann was snow bound so was compelled to stay at home ,for a few days. A number of our young men are now employed at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock. Those from here who worked in the Woodstock'Oliver have quit work for some time on account of short hours. Mrs Nell and two sons, Henry and Frank, are spending the winter with her daughter, Mrs. F. Fox, at Minne­ apolis, Minn. The Pljkindealer wants a corres­ pondent at Johnsburg, one who is willing to write us a newsy letter each week. Who wants to act? Visitors have been few during the past three or four weeks. The heavy snow, bad roads and uncertainty of the train service keep people away. George Lay and Nick Miller were Sunday guests in the home of Wm. Tonyan and were compelled to stay over night on account of the blizzard. Road breaking has become a weekly (job for' our farmers and, as usual, they were out in numbers on Sunday and Monday, with the result that milk deliveries were made without much delay. Frank Mathieu has returned home from a short theatrical engagement in Chicago and expects to be here most of the time until the opening of the regular spring and . sumrrfer season. > * The parishioners of St. John's church here are highly pleased with the report as made public by the pas­ tor. It is indeed a gratifying one, in which each and everyone takes ex­ ceptional pride. Old timers around here are still telling of the heavy snow of the eighties. Well, if that snow was any worse than what we have experienced lately we are happy to think that we were not in the land of living at that time. with delight by both young, and old. Theo. Meyers returned home last Thursday from a three weeks' visit with hifc daughter at St. Louis. He also stopped o(ff in Chicago for a few days' visit with his daughter, Mrs. Ed. Senft. No serious shortage of coal has been experienced hereabouts this winter. Quite a few around here have been using wood for fuel to a great ex­ tent, which probably accounts for the fact that the shortage has not been as keenly felt around here as in some places. In spite of the bad conditions %of the roads and the bitter cold the public card party at the parish hall last Sunday evening was very well at­ tended, twelve tables being occupied by the players, and all present en­ joyed the occasion immensely. The evening's first honors went to the popular pastor of the church, Rev. Wm. Weber, while Mrs. Fred Smith came in for second honors. Peter Freund, Jr., who resides up on the German prairie, lost a horse on Friday of last week in a most peculiar manner. While driving along the highway one of the horses left the main road bed and sank down in sev­ eral feet of snow and within five minutes the animal was dead. The horse in sinking in the snow sort of choked itself and also injured itself internally, with the result given above. A hard time party for the benefit of St. John's church is to be held at par­ ish hall on the evening of tfeb. 11. Arrangements for the event are al­ ready under way and, with the roads in fairly passable condition, a big crowd should attend. Several hard time parties have been held here dur­ ing the past few years and all of them have proven very enjoyable events and the announcement that another is to be held this year will be received John R. Schmitt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin F. Schmitt of this village, is an inventor and has just received the patent rights on a beet puller, which he invented some time ago. The puller is a very simple little de­ vice, but a very useful one. Mr. Schmitt has now applied for the pat­ ent rights of Canada as well as a patent oh a topper for the puller. The young man has proven himself quite a genius and his many friends here wish him success with his new inventions. At this time he is still undecided as to his future plans, but it seems more than likely that he will dispose of the patent to one of the larger manufacturing concerns from which he has already received offers. J. B. Hettermann, our automobile salesman and general blacksmith, is advertising his beautiful home and property for sale here. The property is not offered for sale because the owner is dissatisfied with it nor is he thinkings of leaving Johnsburg, but with the sale of the place will come the location of a modern garage, store room and blacksmith shop here. These are Mr. Hettermann's plans, but in order to secure at least a part of the money with which to make the con­ templated improvement he must sac­ rifice his/home and this he is willing to do just to give our little town another modem business house. We under­ stand that the home is to be purchased at a bargain and anyone contemplat­ ing the purchase of a home in Johns­ burg will do well to consult Mr. Het- termaan. Preliminary work for enlarging the basement underneath the parish hall here has been started and it is hoped that the improvement will be com­ pleted this spring. There never was a basement underneath the entire hall and the thought recently struck some of those interested to excavate the balance of the space for the purpose of extending the basement underneath the entire building with the purpose in mind of making the basement of the buildirifc itno a meeting hall for the several fraternal societies as well as to put it to such other uses as the pas­ tor and parishioners see fit. The plan seemed to meet with general approval and work was at once started. The improvement can be made at very little expense and the future uses of the basement no doubt, will well repay the parish for the time and expense in making same. Rev. Wm. Weber, pastor of St. John's church at Johnsburg^ has a most welcome report to make his parishioners this year in the fact that the church and property of the parish is now entirely free of debt, with a balance of about $200 still in the treasury. This is indeed a record of which the pastor and his flock may ^ell feel proud, as very few parishes in this or any other diocese can, boast cjf such a clean slate. The record is all the more remarkable when"" it is taken into consideration that their church edifice was destroyed by fire several years agO, necessitating the building of a new church, which rep­ resents an outlay of no less than $75,000. Then, too, there were a couple of years previous to Rev. Weber's coming that scarcely any progress was made so far as clearing off the old indebtedness is concerned, this being due to the fact that the harmony that should prevail in a par­ ish was lacking. However, the good people of that community have made up for lost time and they as we'll as their hard-working pastor are worthy of ah bouquets that may be bestowed up^n them. Johnsburg is about to have a court of lady Foresters and the new class, numbering thirty, will be initiated with great festivities at the parish hall here on Wednesday afternoon of next week, Feb. 6. The work will start at 1:30 o'clock and will be in charge of a degree team from St; Clara court of McHenry. The name of the court will be St. Agata and the number 777! The work of solicit­ ing memberships has been going on for some time past and the organizers and solicitors are to be congratulated for the grand success achieved. As stated above, the work will begin at 1:30 and immediately after the initia­ tion the candidates, visiting members and members of the degree team will sit down to an elaborate banquet. It is expected that a number of outside lady Foresters will be present to wit­ ness the initiation and arrangements for their entertainment are now being made. As a fitting conclusion to the day's event a big dance will be held at parish hall in the evening, the pro­ ceeds of which will go into St. John's church treasury. The McHenry de­ gree team will go thru some of its drills in the hall during the evening and music will be furnished by Oef- fling's orchestra. The dance will be a public affair and a cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. Tickets will sell at 50 cents each. end TERRA COTTA Arthur Sewell spent the week at his home in Huntley. Miss Clara Frisby spent Thursday evening last at M. Knox's. Edward J. Knox visited the Crystal Lake high school last Thursday. Fred Johnson is quite sick with pneumonia and under the doctor's care. Mrs. Mary Grant was the guest of Crystal Lake friends Saturday even­ ing. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Nelson and son, Melvuv spent a recent Sunday at A. Gaebe's. Miss Florence Knox spent an even­ ing last week with Miss Vera Doherty at Holcombville. The pupils who attend school at Crystal Lake were unable to get there Monday morning, as the milk train did not come. The teacher and pupils of the Terra Cotta school enjoyed a feast last Fri­ day afternoon. As many of the pupils were absent before Christmas on ac­ count of whooping cough and could not enjoy the usual festivities, it was planned that as soon as they had all returned they would have their good time. It was also planned in honor of Miss Frisby, whose birthday oc­ curred Sunday, and the pupils pre­ sented her with a purse. Games, music, singing and a spelling match were features of the afternoon, which passed all too quickly, and the serving of cake, cookies, pickles, nuts and fruit concluded a most enjoyable afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Martin enter­ tained the 400 club at their hospitable home here last Tuesday evening. Pro­ gressive euchre was indulged in, J. M. Phalin and Miss Eleanor Phalin win­ ning first- prizes, an<f Miss Clara Frisby and Mrs. J. M. Phalin the con­ solation prizes. Dancing was also en­ joyed by all, after which delicious re­ freshments were served. In the "wee, small" hours of the morning the guests departed for their homes, as­ suring Mr. and Mrs. Martin that they had spent a most enjoyable evening, and with many regrets at losing them from their social circle. They will move to Round Lake March 1. We are informed that Martin J. Stoffel has rented his father-in-law's farm near Humphrey, Neb., and will move his family west some time next month.
