W. Fisher, is building a new barn in the rear of his market.
Geo. Schreiner has put in a handsome new Pool Table, at his Restaurant, opposite
the Parker House.
H. D. Holmes, in Howe's Block, has just put in a new Billiard and Pool Table. They
are of the latest style, and are said by those who handle the cue to be No. 1. See card in another column.
We notice by our exchanges that "Gofle" who failed for want of an audience
to Lecture in this place last week, has also been "dead beating" the Hotels and printers quite extensively
in different parts of the country. Pass him around gentleman. He will get to the end of his rope ere long.
Quite a large party of ladies and gentleman from this village, Woodstock, Evanston
and Chicago, made a trip to Fox Lake on the steamer, Thursday last. The day was pleasant and all report a good
time. As business called us in another direction, we were unable to accept the invitation to accompany the party.
We noticed two urchins in angry dispute on the street the other day. They did not
do much pummeling however, but both appeared to have imbibed large doses of jaw-lip. Boys should be more careful
about quarreling, for it is setting bad examples before the quiet canines and felines.

As will be seen by an advertisement in another column, F. A. Hibbard offers his property,
situated opposite the Riverside House, for sale. In our judgment it is a very cheap piece of property, and those
contemplating purchasing should not fail to call and look it over. McHenry

It is not gentlemanly to tell a lady she lies, and sometimes not safe. We hear of
a fellow who so far forgot himself as to do so the other day, and he is now nursing a black eye, and talks strongly
of a suit for assault and battery. What, arrest a woman for assault upon an able bodied man! Now dont. McHenry Plaindealer, Vol I, No. 2, Page 5, Wednesday, Aug 18th, 1875 - Submitted by Anne Kunzen
We received a pleasant call on Mon-day from S. L. Taylor, Editor of the Elgin Advocate.

This is an unhealthy time for Prairie Chickens, if we are to judge from the number
of men and boys seen departing for the fields with gun and dog. Go in boys and have lots of fun, but remember your
friends. McHenry Plaindealer, Vol I, No. 2, Page 5, Wednesday, Aug 18th, 1875

spent the Sabbath in this village. We are sorry that we happened to be out when he called at our sanction. McHenry Plaindealer, Vol I, No. 2, Page 5, Wednesday, Aug 18th, 1875 - Submitted by Anne Kunzen
On last Saturday about fifty of the neighbors of Mr. George Ford helped him to raise
the frame of a barn 40X60 18 feet high, on a wood basement 8 ft. high. Chas. Lindecrona, builder. Mr. L. is the
boss barn builder in the county, this is the 64th barn that he has built in seven years, and now he has one 46X80,
24 feet posts, with a basement, for Wm. Powers. After George had got his raised the company were invited to a supper
