Editor, Plaindealer, McHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir: ; \V Although I do not qualifv as an Old Timer I have been going to McHenry for forty odd years. The articles appearing in your journal written by the old residents have been of much interest and should be preserved in the originals. There have been several comments in The Plaindealer in reference to establishing some sort of historical museum in which the pictures, letters, surveys, and other items of McHenry interest hiight be gathered and kept as a permanent exhibit. Knowing a little about the commercial value of such things as were 011 display at the very interesting exhibit during your Centennial there was nothing there of much commercial value, with one or two possible exceptions, There were no rarities such as letters written by Lincoln, Washington or even Grant. The land grants supposedly. signed by the Presidents were in nearly every case signed "by authority" and did not bear the Presidential signature. The books were of very little commercial value. Old books merely as old books are worth only a trifle. Tjpere were no Gutenburg Bibles or Caxtons or Shakespeare folios or even files of Harper's Weekly for the Civil War period. The photographs are commercially worthless, and outside of a sentiment attachment to them by the owners could not be disposed of for profit, even should the owners wish to dispose of them. Despite the fact that the items could be disposed of for little or nothing, they do have a very decided interest to those who are interested in the local history. It would seem that • the people of McHenry would be in- : terested in gathering together the j things pertaining to McHenry while there is an opportunity to do so and 1 preserving them in a McHenry museum. _ ! With intelligent direction a collec; ' tion could be built up which would | preserve the early McHenry items in one place for the pleasure and education of the present generation and the generations to follow. It should be an ! easy matter for a committee to get i such things as the first surveys, deeds, ! letters written in the early days, nearly all of which had something of in- I terest concerning the ways of living I (and they wrote long letters in those days because the postage cost too much to write short letters). Then ' the collection of photographs and i drawings was of much interest to I those who saw the exhibit at the I Centennial. It was both amusing and | pathetic to overhear the comments of those looking at these. Such as, "Good heavens, did I ever wear such a costume? Isn't that too funny for words?", or, "See, Mary, there is a picture of Grandma." And probably Grandma has been resting in the cemetery for these many years. All of these things which have been preserved, and there is no way of knowing how much of interest has already been lost or thrown out, fyave been saved largely through some sentimental attachment. The times change and the likes and dislikes of persons change. Who knows but the son or daughter of the present owners or their children will think most of the things so much "junk" and discard" them ? Even if the things of interest are kept in the family the families may scatter, and probably will. Then why, while there is yet time to salvage some of the things which can never be replaced, not assemble what is possible pertaining to McHenry history in a safe, accessable place? Some Old Timers have already volunteered to make donations, and if suitable acknowledgements are shown I am more than sure there would be many others who would like to see thethings they have saved placed in a safe place for future keeping where they know the things will be cared for and > be of interest to those who follow. There are 1 several communities which have created historical societies. Much of the material they have is of progressive interest. Evanston, for instance, has a splendid collection, and McHenry is (Jlder than Evanston. Madison has a collection which is known over the world, largely through the George Rogers Clark manuscripts. They also have a splendid collection of the pioneer furniture, dolls, cooking utensils, etc., which draws thousands of visitors a year. Would it not be to McHenry's interest to attempt something along the same line before it is too late ? Cordially yours, C. N. OWRN. A WRITING FAMILY . Misg Jtfaud Curr. has recently received interesting news concerning Lord Tweedsmuir, governor-general of Canada, an old friend of her family. Two new members of Lord Tweedsmuir's family have arrived in Canada and have become charmed with the country* They are his mother, Mrs. John Buchan, and his only sister, Miss Anna Buchan, who, like her brother, js a well known author. Miss Buchan writes under the name of O. Douglas and confesses that she hopes to gather material for a new book while visiting her brother. "Taken By the Hand," her last book, appeared some time ago. Her father wrote poems and articles and the family is one of the most distinguished writing families of this generation. The friendship of a family such a3 this is one to be treasured and Miss Curr may well be proud of her friends Items ef Tata From the Files of H* Platodealee ef YMM A(* SIXTY YEARS AGO The boys have been having rare £port skating on the mill pond for the past few days.

Various popular verses were given it from time to time, including those of Yankee Doodle. They were written in derision of American soldiers by an English officer. Instead of being insulted, the Yankees adopted it with a vengeance. © Weitero Newspaper Union. Mrs. Smith in their banjo specialties at Riverside Hall, on Friday evening.
