IF you know of auythingthat we don't know, which the people ought to know if it is worth knowing, don't you know that it is your duty to let us know, that the people may also know that we ought to know, but don't know, because you know, you won't le^ us know. AN exchange suggests that the women should make extrd efforts to support their husbands at this season, and Jcgep •them supplied with spending money.

THR loeaLpaper is often ignored, al­ ways criticised and many times harsh abuse heaped upon it; but perhaps there is no single thing which has such direct bearing on the welfare of the people as the local paper. A miuisteror a lecturer feels the success which will probably re­ sult when he faces a crowded house, but lie neglects to give the editor an item, which will find its way into ten times as many homes, and be impressed on the hearts-and minds of the people hc-ean- never reach. Editors are human and rarely refuse an item that meets the wants of their subscribers. If you know a nood thing pass it around.-- Ex, FLIES are despised, but if every one was as persistant and hard to discourage as a 11 y, more people would succeed. When" a fly gets after a p-rson it never knows what it is to stop. It may be (-craped off fifty times, but it immediate­ ly comes back and lights about the same place. Sometimes it Hies off some dit-tanceand the persecuted person thinks it is gone, but it never forgets and soon returns and makes a more determined effort than ever. All efforts to kill a fly usually result only in personal injury, and do not even scare the fly. The bible holds Job up as an example of patience, 1 >nt we bet there were no flies in his time. THE following good advice is clipped from an exchange: "My son, follow not the footsteps of the loafer and make no pattern of the example of him who is born tired, for verily I say untoyou their business is overstocked and their seat* on the corners are all taken up and the whittling places are all occupied. It ic better to saw wood at two bits a cord than to whittle in a loafing match and cuss the government. My son, whil£ thou has yet left in thy Skull the sense of a jaybird, break away from the cigarette habit, for lo! thy breath stinketh like unto a glue factory, and thy whole ap­ pearance is less intelligent than a stone dummy. Yea, thou art a cipher with the rim knocked off. Ladies' N"ovelty Race First, §7 ; Second, f5; Third, §3. For sirgle horse and four wheeled rig, and ordinary single harness.

The famous French lady aeronaut, Madam Rozelle, who has been secured by the management of the great McHenry County Fair to give each day one of her thrillinc exhibitions in midair, has re­ ceived the greatest commendation in her own country as the greatest and most fearless operator Of the balloon among the clouds in the world. It is the first time she ever made any engagement oat- side of the larger cities, but she had the week of the Mcllenry County Fair at her disposal and by earnest solicitation and the nearness of Chicago she consented to visit the great McHenry County Fair. She will drop from cloudland at a dis­ tance of 6,000 feet, trusting to her para­ chute to land her safely on mother earth. Men have made these jumps with success but few women have had the nerve to take their chances of trusting their lives to the safety of a small parachute. It is something wonderful to think of.' Cast adrift thousands of feet in the dreamy land above, far beyond snow capped mountains and distant peaks, this won­ derful lady. Madam Rozelle, drifts along, as a kite, communicating with the spirit above and at the same time thinking of her dangerous voyage back to earth. You cannot afford to miss seeing the lady make these trips each day -of the Fair. It costs you nothing outside of regular admission. It comes along, with reach afternoon's program, which we have aimed to make the most interesting of any in'the history of the Fair. We have done all we could. We now ask you to reciprocate by giving the Fair your presence each day if possible. If you will our efforts have not been lost. "(i. R. RICHARDS, Secretary. Bicycle Races. At the great.

A number of Teachers from this vicini­ ty went to \A oodstock Monday morning to attend the Teachers Institute being held there this w'tek. Last Monday evening August 10th, Adam Mosgrove, a wealthy farmer of this town, was returning home from McHenry with a load of lumber when he was met by two young men, Wm. Erwin and Richard Welsh. They got ou his load aud commenced throwing off shin­ gles aud one of them commenced an attack on Mosgrove by catching him and going through his pockets, claiming to be looking for a bottle. In the melee Mosgrove was badly bruised around his left eye and a very severe cut across his nose, and slightly hurtotherways. Mos­ grove came to Nunda Tuesday and en­ tered acomplaiut,for assault and battery auainst Wm. Erwin, Richard Walsh and Eugene Erwin. A warrant was issued for their arrest and given to Constable Henderson. Wednesday morning he went to the homes of Erwin and Walsh, near McHenry, and got Walsh and Rugene Erwin, (Wm. Erwin having gone to Chicago) and brought them to Nunda where they had a hearing before Justice St. Clair. Eugene Eru in waft discharged but Walsh was fined $25 and costs, which amount was paid and Walsh 'was discharged. It seems that it has been quite a common thing for some people to play all kinds of tricks and jokes on the Mosgroves, and sometimes they have bean very serious one. To law abiding citizens it looks'as though these kinds of jokes should'stop. If they do not some­ time, somebody will find themselves with more on their hands than they are able to handle. A word to the wise ought to be sufficient^ S P R I N G G R O V E . John W ray and family, of Richmond, visited at John Crane's Sunday. Wm.

Since 1878 there have been nine epi- lemics of dysentery iu different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and danger­ ous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying condi­ tions, which proves it to be the best med­ icine in the world for bowel complaints.
