INSTALLS OFFICERS FOR YEAR DIES AT THE AGE OF 78 John Pint, 78 years old, one of the pioneer blacksmiths of this locality, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Harry Hartley, in Chicago, about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, October 22. Although he had been in poor health for the past two years his death came suddenly and as a great shock to his loved ones who were gathered at his bedside when the ern came He had grieved over the death of hiS daughter, Mrs. Anna Meyers, who died on October 3, and since that time he had failed rapidly, his death resulting from a slight stroke. v John Pint was born in Murlenbach. Germany, on November 19, 18.">4, where he was raised as a blacksmith. When only a small boy at the age of eight years he helped about the shop and pumped the huge bellows which fanned the flame. In Germany every boy is trained in some trade and so it was that Mr. Pint grew to be a blacksmith, working long and hard at his trade and learning it in every detail. He also served his country as a soldier for three years, this being another rule of the country, and each young man between the ages of twenty and twenty-three must give three years to his country. As a young man he came to America in 1880 and settled in Chicago, where he worked at his trade, which expanded as the city grew in population. After a few years he decided to live in the country and came to Ringwood where He went to work for Will Grinolby and after a few years be • came a partner in the blacksmith shpp and after the death of Grinolby he continued alone for a few years and then took Joe May into the business with him and finally sold out to him and came to McHenry in September, 1906. Here He purchased the corner where he has since lived and built bis new home and blacksmith shop, where he has been a familiar figure for the past twenty-eight years. About two years ago, because of poor health, he retired from active work, after nearly seventy years of j work a$ a blacksmith. In April. 1884. he was' upited in A special meeting of the city board was held Monday evening, Oct. 23, with all the aldermen present The object of the meeting was the passing and adoption of an ordianance to facilitate and make legal the handling of the $8,914.95 refund fron) the state department for that portion of the pavement on Elm street which the state has taken over and which was paid for in the beginning by the property owners.

However, no cash will be refun led to any property own. er who is delinquent on assessments or having future assessments not paid but the assesmeiit will bs credited the amount of their proportinate share of their refund, also in case of properfy having changed hands, the present holder \nll receive the benefits of the refund.
