'OUR readers who have been looking for Hood's Calendar for 1896 will be glad to know that it is out and may be obtained from the druggist or by sending 6 cents in stamps to C. I.

John Evanson, Secretary. W. F. Tilton, Tyler. The newly elected officers, together with appointive officers, , will probably be installed at the next regular meeting. JWE notice by Washington despatches that John A. Dufield, editor of the Dem­ ocrat, has received the appointment of postmaster, at Woodstock, and will un­ doubtedly take possession of the office about January 1st. We have always advocated the doctrine that "to the victors belong the spoils," and we know of no democrat in McHenry County who we would rather see get the office than Brother Dufield. He has earned the erown and will wear it gracefully, and we congratulate him on his good for­ tune. Woodstock is sure of good post- office service for the next four years. THE man of the standing ad, says an exchange, is the backbone of a news­ paper and the solid man of the commun­ ity. In summer or winter, in sunshine or rain, his name greets the public eye with every issue of the paper and the people come in tine to regard him as well estab­ lished in successful business, whether they are his patrons or not. "Nothing succeeds like success," and the public once getting "the idea that a man is doing well, stands ready to patronize him and turns to him naturally when it wants anything in his line. In this simple fact lies the whole secret of the success in per­ sistent advertising. 1 have made a specialty of the prose­ cution of all kinds of' damage cases against RAlLlOADS, other. Corporation's, and Estates, for fifteen years and make no charge unless successful. Call or write me. C. P. BARNES, ATTORNEY, Woodstock, 111.

McH&nry, Nov. 11th, 1895. 19ml JUSTUS BANGS j, '. The sudden death of Justus Bangs, Es quire, early on the morning of the 13th instant removes from us one of the best known citizens of the county.' His illness was heart trouble of but few hours du­ ration, the end coming unexpectedly to those in attendance. Squire Bangs was a native of Massachusetts. He was born in the town of Montague in that state oh March 16,11806, and was thus at the time of his decease ninety years of agel He was the fifth child in a family of twelve. His early education was re­ ceived fn the school of Stanford, Yt., but the greater part he had obtained by private study and observation.' He was for many years a farmer and for thirty- seyen years was identified with the mer­ cantile interests of Wauconda, He was one of the first settlers of the township, building the first log cabin on the banks of the lake named Bangs Lake in his honor. In lSio he took the government con­ tract for carrying mail from Chicago to Janesville, a,distance of 100 miles and held it for eight years. He built the first store biiihlin'g in ,-Waucbnd'a and many business places and residences^ In politics hs was an old line whig, afterward a stalwart republican. He cast his .first vote for John .. Adams and Was for many years active in the coun­ cil of his party, holding several local offices. .He was justice of the peace for twelve years and served as county super­ visor for many terms. He was a warm friend to soldiers and spent much time and money in their be­ half during the war of the rebellion. In appreciation of his services he was made an honorary member of the G. A. R. Post of Wauconda. The funeral services were held on Sun­ day afternoon in the Baptist church. Elder Brooks, a life long friend of the de­ ceased,- officiated, assisted,by Rev. Alger, the resident pastor. The church was fill­ ed to its utmost capacity, many people comina: from surrounding towns. The body was followed to the grave by a long procession of relatives and friends. The two children of the deceased, Am­ brose Bangs, of Odebolt, Iowa, and Mrs. Clarence Pratt, of Chicago, were the re­ cipients of many expressions of sympa­ thy in the loss they had been called up­ on to sustain. The sterling qualities of him who has1'been called at a ripe old age made him for nearly half a century one of the most prominent figures in our local history and his departure is a mat­ ter of public interest and regret.-- B'/i u- conda Correspondent Waukegan Herald.

Since the trial in the jus­ tice court, the justice, D.C. Mallory. the constable, C. C. Pettibone, and the form­ er plaintiff, John Goodwin, have died.
