THE VERY LAST CALL During the past three months we have adopted < very means known to us to collect delinquent subscriptions. As a last resort we decided to place all ac­ counts in tbehands of a newspaper col­ lecting agency January 1st. During the past week we received letters from par­ ties desiring us to give them more time We will extond the time for such 30 days. All others, who have received repeated - notices, may expect to hear from a col­ lecting agency not later than January 15th. As collecting in this way will make extra expense we will be compelled to charge for subscription at the rate of $2 per year. Subscribers in this list, who desire to do so, may settle at the old rate up until the last of next week. After that all settling will be with the agency. We dislike to do this but prom­ ises to pay don't oil the press and buy bread. We must have what is due us and we are going to have it. A man that knows for three or four years that he is running behind on a paper and in all that time can't scrapc up $5, better hire out to some one and have the amount deducted from his wages. m • i OUR Public School opened Monday morning after a ten days vacation.

Relatives and friends of the family were present from Chicago, South Dakota, Elgin, Richmond, Algonquin, Wood stock and other points. The refresh­ ments were served in elegant style by Caterer Schra'm, of Elgin. The tables were done in pink and white, and the various rooms were most beautifully decorated in smilax and mountain laurel received from friends in California ex­ pressly for the occasion. The presents were numerous and valuable and spoke the high appreciation of the bride. The happy couple took the early morninp train for a two or three weeks trip to the South, having the best wishes of their many friends here for a pleasant journey and a safe return.

It's only a dollar^or two and the publisher don't need it. If he asks for it get as mad as you can and tell him to stop the paper--you never read it anyway. Then go and bor­ row your neighbor's. When the reporter comes always be busy. Make him feel as if he were intrud ing. When the advertising and joh man comes tell him you don't need to adver­ tise. everybody knows you, that you will try to get along without any printed stationary--it is too expensive; you musifc economize. Never drop in to see the editor unless you want a free complimentary notice or a lengthy obituary of a beloved relative. Never recommend the paper to anybody. When you speak of it say "Yes, we have a little sheet, but it don't amount to much." - Keep it up a year or two and you will have a dead newspaper, a dead set of merchants and a dead town.

HOLMES DIED.--At the residence of his mother, in this village, on Thursday, Dec. 31st, 1896, N. L. HOLMES, aged 45 years. , LEWIS HOLMES, (as h^ was familiarly called) was born in Lima, N. Y., in 1851. He moved vrith his Darents to Ridgefield, in this county, in 1865, and in 1870 came to McHenry, where he resided until his death. He leaves to mourn his loss an aged mother, three sisters and two brothers, viz : Mrs. I. M. Mallory and Mrs. E. G. McCollum, Nunda, Mrs. L. D. Lincoln, McHenry, H. D. Holmes, now of Wood­ stock, and a brother in New York stat?, whose name we did not learn. All were present at the funeral except the . latter, who was unable to get here. While "Lew" Holmes had his faults, like all mortals, they really injured no one but himself. He was naturally a big-hearted, whole-souled fellow, and we do not think had an enemy in the world. . His funeral was held from the residence of his mother on Sunday morning, Jan. 3d, and the remains laid at rest in Ridge­ field cemetery, beside those of his father and brother, who proceeded him some years.

"--Chicago Times-Herald. Palmistry. Marvelous things are claimed of palmistry, not only by those who prac­ tice it as a profession, but by many who have seen the prophecies of palmists come trne in actual life. Telling the past by the lines of the hands is, how­ ever, almost a new art. There is a man in town who believes he can do it, at least so far as marriages are concerned. He is Professor Hargett. Still further, he claims that the lines of the hand show whether a marriage in the past ended in divorce, and which party it was that obtained the divorce. "It is also possible, "he said the other day, "to find in the palms the records of the number of one'smarriages, a hint of the experiences of courtship, and whether married life proved smooth or otherwise. I saved one young woman from a bigamist once. He was engaged to her, and they came togethor to me. 'You are married already,' I said after looking at his palm. He only laughed, but the young woman investigated and found it was true. "On another occasion I saw in the hand of a hotel keeper the record of two marriages--one at 24 years, and the other at 50. Wheir I told him, he was simply amazed. 'I was married once at 24,' ho said, 'and again at 48.' "The hands are the records of the body. It is amazing what is written there."--New York Herald.
