REV. PLA1I TO REMAIN.
Decides to Not Accept Call
to Church Of Good Shep-
herd, West Chicago

Rev. George E. Platt, who recently
received q call to tho pas.
torate Of the Church of the Good
Shepherd of West Chicago and who
last Sunday occupied the pulpit OF
that church, returned Wednesday,
after looking the : ground over
thoroughly.
He has considered the Inducements
offered to take charge of the West
Chicago church, but after due delibera-
tlon in which he considered his
pleasant stay with the local congrega'
tiop, as well as his many other &C.
qualntances, together with the pure
healthful climate of this locality,
which has agreed with HIM very well.
he has decided not to accept the call
rendered HIM and will remain here as
pastor of the Church of Our Savior.
This will come as very pleasant
news to the people who know Rev.
Platt and his estimable family, and
especially so to his congregation, who
have feared he would decide to accept
the pastorate of the West Chicago
church. Rev. Platt has shown great
ability as a minister of the gospel,
and it is with pleasure that we are
able to say to our many readers tnat
he will stay among US.

NOT HALLEY'S COMET.

A comet, which was at first thought
to be- the expected Halley's comet,
but which has since been designated
as Comet A, 1910, has appeared in the
southwestern sky and has attracted
considerable attention during the
past few days. People are not very
punctual to the evening meal just
at present as they. wish to see the
comet themselves before it leaves as
mysterlously as 1t has appeared. The
time to watch for it is between the
hours of S 80 p. m. and 6 p. m. at the
setting of the sun. To find the comet,
draw an imaginary line from Venus,
the only bright star to be seen towards
the west, to the horizon. and than
another line from Venus at an angle Of
45 degrees towards the north, and this
second line will pass directly though
the comet. , The tail of the comet 10
said to measure about thirty times the
diameter of the moon, and observa-
tions show 1t to be 3, 500, 600 miles
from the sun. @.a@%> E

SURPRISED COMRADE RAs1COr.

SOhfh h1OED OOMnAOE hAS1COI.
On the night of January 24th a
surprise was sprung on Comrade VIM.
Raslcot, it beng his 84th ! an
niversary. He was at the residence of
his daughter, Mrs. Bert Boyce. The
old vets came dropping IN from 7
p. m. till about 8 p. M, when the
avalanche came.
About 80 vets and ladies of the
Relief Corps were present. Comrade
Raslcot appears to hold his own quite
well. His 81 years set lightly on his
smiling countenance. though his step
is not as lively as 1t was wetn first
met him more than &c years ago. His
recollections of the stirring times
through the '60s are still vivid. He
answered to the call of his country for
help in August 1862. leaving his wife
to care for family of five small
children. Imagine his feelings when
he parted with them, for all they
knew it might be final farewell.
Well, we had a fine time. Mrs.
Boyce and son did their best to make
it the time of our lives and showed
they were we'll up in the art Of
entertaining.
At an early hour all wended their
way to tEeir homes, hoping to meet
the comrade on his 85th anniversary.
And may be there is my wish.

store-room formerly occupied by the
postof6ce, which will be known an

on the market. in the cigars to be
manufactured by it, only SO, $50, and
SIS goods being manufactured.

factured by the concern later on.
A number Of shares in the company
will be sold to the business men and
smokers of this county after they are
shown what grade of cigars the COM

people of this county to patronize a
home industry and help 1t grow into
a big factory, as it certainly deserves,
if its puts out the goods it intends to.

.MlffTING MONDAY NIGHT
Commercial Club TO Trans
act Business and Have .
Social Time

Considerable headway is being made
by +, g. Gordon and Chas. Sylvester
of the committee apppointed at the
last meeting Of the Commercial club
to solicit new members for the
organization, and 1t is expected that
by the time they have made the
rounds that the club will show a
healthy increase in members as q
direct result of their labors.
The gentlemen above mentioned
commenced their labors among the
professional and business men, who,
up to now have not been members of
the club, ana then among those who
have at one time or: other been
members of the organization. What
ever back dues there were have been
Cancelled, and all can join by paying
the dues for the coming year, the
amout of which is IS member. Very
tew of those seen by Messrs. Gordon
and Sylvester have refused to become
members. and the dues are for the
most part being collected as the
members are solicited, thus avoiding
the necessity of making second round
for this purpose. Those who have not
the money handy at the time of these
gentlemen visit, should not let this
hinder them from joining the club, as
they can pay the dues little later at
the meeting.
The solicitors are especially glad to
note that farmer. Isaac Raymond,
has shown enough interest in the local
club to join it without being solicited,
paying dues for same. Other farmers
are invited to become members Of the
Commercial club, for as Mr.: Raymond
says, it means as much to the farmers
OF the county as to the citizens Of
this city, working as it does for the
interests of both. Send In your names
and those of others and the committee
will write personal letters to each.
The committee expects to complete
its rounds by the time of the next
meeting.
The following new members have
been secured: A. p. Meister, John
Adams, 81. G. Snow, Isaac. Raymond,
H. q. 81. Munson, +. A. King, NJ. j.
Bracke, Max A. Corbln, E. g. Lane,
G. H. Easton.
A large attendance is desired at the
meeting of the club Monday evening.
as matters pertinent to the welfare of
the club, as well as matters in general
will be discussed.
The committee on lunch has been
busy, and something quite palatable
will be dished up for the faithful
who attend. It will be necessary to
attend the meeting Of the club to
secure the pass word that will admit
you into the rooms where the "till-
up" and long filters will be served.
There will also be little social talk
at this function.
