A.C. Stevens, of Waukegan, spent Sunday with his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Hill in our village. Mrs. Stevens and son will spend the summer months with the former’s parents.

Mr. and Mrs. George Jepson returned to our village Wednesday after a wedding tour to the bridegroom’s home in Vermont. They will now take up residence with the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Turnbull, on the Wm. Clough farm.

Wednesday evening at the home of the bridegroom’s aunt, Mrs. Shumway, of Waukegan, occurred the marriage of Bert C. Harris to Miss Anna Crabbe, both of our village. Mr. Harris is one of Wauconda’s prosperous young business men and conducts a barber shop on Main streets where he has a good trade. Miss Crabbe has resided within a few miles of our village all of her lifetime, and is held in high esteem by all who know her well. We extend to the happy couple our congratulations, and furthermore wish them a prosperous and smooth journey through life.

Messrs. Maloney of Kenosha, Wis., Gorham of Waukegan, and McGuffin of Libertyville, were in our village the first of the week to look over and straighten the books of the Wauconda bank. Mr. McGuffin has been employed by the trustees to act as attorney for the bank, and we feel that the trustees have made a very wise move in securing him to look after their interests. Mr. Charles Gorham has been appointed receiver for the local bank, and all of the notes, cash, etc., belonging to it have been turned over to him. It has been found that about $4,000 of the Wauconda bank’s funds have been deposited at the Corn Exchange Bank of Chicago, and the trustees have succeeded in having an injunction served on that bank forbidding the Corn Exchange people from paying out the money. If this injunction can be made permanent, the depositors of the local bank will get back nearly dollar for dollar. It is expected that a dividend will be declared within a short time.
