FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
Ye editor visited McHenry last
Thursday the first time in over year.
To say that we were surprised at the
growth of that town is putting it
mild. 1t has tripled itself in the past
year and is a very busy town. Like all
new towns it is somewhat inclined to
disregard the laws in regard to selling
liquor and blind pigs are allowed to
flourish with wide open eyes notwith-
standing the fact that a constable has
been sworn in to discharge his duties
and to see that the laws are enforced.
This is exceedingly funny.
