A Communication. In a recent issue of the Woodstock papers appeared a paid advertisement inserted by Etnil Arnold without his signature undoubtedly for the purpose of leading its readers to suppose it to be editorial.

The first sentence contains this statement: "Fred Norlin, formerly county surveyor of Cook county." This statement Mr. Norlin denies and tells me that neither himself nor his brother were ever county surveyors of Cook county. There are other statements in Mr. Arnold's paid advertisement that Mr. Norlin denies, for instance, that he is here for thepurpseof doinif private surveying, although he tells me he has surveyed one lot and the first he knew of the entire statement was seeing it in The Sentinel.

But to those of us who remember seeing the old prairie schooner, with its equipment of government surveyors, setting the stake for the corner to sections 25, 26, 35 and 3 up in the township of Hebron and who hold as treasured documents surveyor's commissions from such honored names as Oglesby, Fifer, Altgeld, Tanner and Yates, here comes great consolation in being informed from the office of Mr. Arnold that these government corners, stretching across the continent from the great lake to the Pacific coast, and that have been perpetuated and kept in their original positions by the county surveyors of the coun try, have at last been declared by such eminent authority as "Official corners." I have only to add that when Mr. Norlin and Mr. Edwards began their work here they was tendered the use of my office, field notes and records, the use of which from time to time they availed themselves of and for which they both privately and pub-liciy acknowledged their appreciation Chas. H.

Tryon, County Surveyor. Card of Thank. The undersigned wishes to thank the neighbors and friends for their many kind acts and words of sympathy during the illness and death of her husband; and especially does she wish to thank the superintendent and employes of the Oliver factory, and members of the Masonic and Woodman fraternities who were most kind and helpful to her in this hour of her great sorrow, making lighter the heavy burden that rested upon her. She also wishes to thank those who contributed flowers and furnished the music for the funeral. Mrs.
