Sunday =r School and Young People's Meetings will be held as usual at their regular hours of service. / THE Masonic Social, on Tuesday even- / ing, was attended by about seventy-five and was a very enjoyable gathering. ^ Refreshments were served and all seemed to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent. THE plumes on women's bonnets grow more and more stunning. A fellow will soon have to climb to the top of the fence to pee the church steeple over madam's 1898 hat. Yoy will miss a rare treat if you faft to go to Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening of this week. THE Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. Church will meet with Mrs. J. R.

Mr. Waite is a life-long Republican and will make a good Postmaster, and we congratulate him on his success in se­ curing the appointment. j THE dinner served by the Ladies of the Willing Workers Society for the teachers and others on Saturday last, was a grand banquet, and was partaken of by all the Teachers present at the Asso­ ciation besides many of our citizens. It was a dinner fit for a King and was spoken of in the highest terms of praise by all. The ladies netted the handsome Bum of $23.60. OUT in Wisconsin a marriage ceremony has just been performed by telephone. The bride stood at One end of the wire in town and the groom at the other end in another town. A clergyman and witnes­ ses surrounded each one of the contract­ ing parties and "Central" attended to it that no time was wasted. If the pair al­ ways keep that far apart there will pro­ bably never be need of a sensational divorce. The Milkmaid's will be here about March 18th. to hold their Interstate Convention.

The wedding was a very quiet one, only the immediate relatives of the contract­ ing parties bping present. After a short wedding trip they will be at home to their friends on the Slocum farm, near iSlocum's Lake. ANT intelligent, industrious person looking for employment would do well to correspond with the Parliament Pub­ lishing Company, about the Perspecto- scope, a description of which will be found in this issue. of the paper. The instru­ ment was invented by a member of the company and they have undertaken to put it on the market. The well known good reputation of the firm is sufficient guarantee that there is no humbug about it. At any rate, it would cost onily a postage stamp to find out all about it.

We learn that a Horse Cutter, Robes, Blankets, whip, etc, were stolen some where between Wilmot and Richmond on Sunday night. On Monday the rig was found nearby wbere some would be joker had tied the horse to a tree and left it in the cold until the owner accident- ly stumbled on to him. The would be joker should have been caught and tied to the same tree for twenty four hours himself, and let him see how good a joke it was. ' « IN our notice last week of the School Entertainment, held at Stoffel's Hall, on the 18th, we inadvertently omitted to make mention of the instrumental music, which was One of the pleasant features of the entertainment. Prof. Bryhn and brother, and Prof. Charles Horn, with Mandolins and Guitar, furnished some music that was highly enjoyed by all pre­ sent. Prof. Horn is master of any in­ strument with which he comes in con­ tact, and together with the Bryhn Bros., makes an Orchestra that delights the ear of all music loving people. Their volun­ tary services, free of charge, was highly appreciated by those having the enter­ tainment in charge. The Violin Solo, by Mr. \. Wegener was also another pleas­ ing feature of the entertainment, for which he has the thanks of all present. MoHenry County .Editorial Association. The meetiug which was called to or­ ganize an Editorial Association for Mc­ Henry Coun'y, which met at Richmond on Saturday, Feb. 19th, was on account of the severe storm and other causes, not as fully attended as it should have been, but notwithstanding enough were present to effect an organization.

At the conclusion of the business meet­ ing the "boys" adjourned to the Colum­ bia hotel and partook of one of Land­ lord Culver's palatable dinners.

Lillian Bell's Seasick Trip The reading public is indebted to Lillian Bell's friends who took her yacht­ ing on the English Channel for the most amusing and unique deecription of sea­ sickness ever penned by one of Neptune's victims. Few people can discern the funny side c f an attack of mat de-mere, but Miss Bell appears to have done so, and to have made her readers in the March Ladies' Home Journal look at her adventures on the turbulent Channel through her eyes, which are ever alert for the fanny side of things. OBITUARY. MARY E. CQVEL, the daughter of James and Nancy Carey Covel, was born at Parma* Monroe county, New York, October 30th, 1831, and died at her home in McHenry, 111., February 23d, 1898. She moved with her parents to Utica, Macomb county, Mich., in 1832. Was married to John L. Howe, in Feb­ ruary, 1850, Rev. Jennings officiating. In 1857 they moved to Mound Prairie, Kenosha county, Wis., where they re­ sided until WCS, when they moved to Buckingham, Tama county, Iowa, where in 1867 Mrs. Howe became a member ot the M. E. Church. In the spring of 1870 she moved with her family to McHenry, and purchased the farm one mile east of this village, where they resided until the death of Mr. Howe, which occurred in 1883. In 1884 she purchased the hand­ some residence of Dr. O.J. Howard, on the West side, where with her son, E. M. Howe, she lived until her death. Mrs. Howe was a woman whom to know was to honor and respect. Strong in her convictions she was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the weak and erring, and set them on the ' right road with a kind word and good advice. She was an earnest and consistent , member Of the M. E. Church, and gave ^liberally of her time and means in the cause. No good work was ever started in church pi- neighborhood, but what she was a will­ ing and hard worker in helpingto further the end sought for, and in both church and social circles she will be long remem­ bered and sadly missed. She leaves to mourn her loss two sons, A. -L, and E. M. Howe, of McHenry. and one sister, Mrs. N. D. Smith, of Lansing, Michigan. She was the last but one, of a family of eight children. The funeral was held from the M. E. Church in this village, on Friday, and was attended by a large, concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends, who came to aid in the la9t sad rites of one whom they had loved in life and whose sudden death they deeply deplored. The sermon by the Pastor, Rev. J. R. Clark, was an able, appropriate and feeling'one, and paid a just tribute to the departed. Her remains were laid at rest in Wood­ land Cemetery, beside those of her husband. A Card of Thanks, In this public manner we wish to thank our friends and neighbors, one and all, for their kindness and aid at the death and burial of our mother. May the giver of all good remember them in a like manner should they ever be called to pass through a like bereayement, is our heartfelt wish. A. L. HOWE AND FAMILY. § E. M. HOWE. V* ' OBITUARY. MRS. ANN RAYMOND, whose death oc- cured at the home of her son at Volo, Feb. 22d. which we briefly noticed last week, was born in New York State, and was one of Lake counties oldest resi­ dents and earliest settlers, having lived there over fifty years. Her husband, Thaddeus Raymond, died in the year 1869, since which time she has made it her home with her son, A. J. Raymond, of Volo, where all that loving hands and willing hearts could do was done for her pleasure and comfort. A Volo corre­ spondent of the Wauconda Leader, in speaking of her death says: "Mrs. Raymond was in her 87th. year, and though time had brought her to the age of impatience, and childishness, she never needed aught which was denied her. Her care was especial charge of each member of the family and no day was so filled with either business or pleasure that she was forgotten. Mrs. Raymond was a pioneer here and though time was kind to her, she had to leave us. That all who linger long might have such comfort as was hers is the wish that comes to us as we write this article." She leaves four children to mourn her loss, namely; Henry, of Elgin; Charles, of Wood County, Wis.; A. J., of Volo and Mrs. Mary Dart, who lives near Rock Inland. Mrs. Raymond had a wide circle of friends among the early settler? of Lake county, who will hear of her death with surprise and regret. The funeral was held on Thursday last, and was attended by a number of her old fri&ids and neighbors. Rev. J. R ("lark, Pastor ot the M. E. Church officiating. DEATH OF JOHN HALDEMAN. JOHN HALDEMAN died at his home, in Solon on Saturday morning last, after a long and painful illness, aged 59years.

Church, at Solon, on Saturday last, under the direction of McHenry G. A. R. Post, of which he was an honored member, and his remains laid at rest in the Cemetary at that place.
