On the road south of Woodstock a truck was found turned over and the driver dead with a broken neck and i some other broken bones. We have not learned any name. A truck was stalled on the icy road in Bull Valley on what is called Snyder hill. The truck is run out one side near a telephone pole no one seems to know who was the driver. Time will reveal the owner. Some one of the residents of these parts turned out with a team and some kind of an implement and leve ed the bad places in the road and filled some rtits, but no one saw the rig and no one is sure who it was hut all the neighbors feel thankful.

H. 8CHAEFER Draying McHENRY, ILLINOIS Mrs. (Catherine Hancock Goode member of the house of represents tlves from the Fifth senatorial district and a prominent Illinois club woman died at her home In Chicago ft few days ago. Mrs. Goode, Republican, was twice elected to the general assembly and was active in behalf of a number of bills In which women of the rtate were interested. She became ill during tinlatter part of the last regular session and returned tc her home, unable to participate In the closing scenes ot the gathering. Site was the wife 01 Dr. J. Paul Goode, of the^faculty the University of Chicago. Mrs. Goode Is the eighth member »i the general assembly who has dleit since the convening of the last regu lar session of the house of represent atlve* more than a year ago. From a beginning where local druggist? acted as instructors to the poinr where full time scientists took over the duties of Instruction, the University of Illinois school of pharmacy has risen to the front rank of pharmacy schools in the country and has the unique distinction of being the first school of its kind west of the Allegheny mountains and the only pharmacy school In the state of Illinois. From its humble beginning in 1859 to the present the guiding aim of the school has been to continually raise the standard of teaching and to raise *4jie entrance requirements until only the most meptall.v capable students are admitted. Tlrts high ideal is rapidly being apprctached and as a result the enrollment is less than that of similar schools in other., sections of the country. The college was formally united with the University of Illinois on Mas I. 1806, and has b^en conducted as the University of Illinois school of pharmacy since that time. On May J2, 1917, the school of pharmacy of Northwestern university was t&ken over by the University of Illinois and consolidated with its own school. The school now occupies three large buildings facing on South Wood street, modern In every respect. There are at present 28 Instructors connected with the school and 021 students. This number of student? is an Increase of 25 per cent over last year's enrollment. A large delegation from here attended the road meeting at, Zion City on Saturday afternoon. John Foster of Chicago spent the week-end with his mother, Mrs. F. L. Hatch. Mrs. Ina Gracy and two children, Ruth and John, returned home Thursday after having spent the past ten days with Mr. and Mrs. Reid Carr.
