The affairs of the Wauconda bank are now settled. The receiver has been discharged and the funds are in the hands of the committee for disbursement, which will take place either the latter part if this week or the first of next, when depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. This comes as very welcome news to the depositors, some of whom had given up all hope of ever getting another glance at their hard-earned money.

Sunday afternoon witnessed the departure of Messrs. George C. Roberts and Earl L. Harrison for California, where they have gone for a rest from business and to regain their lost health. Mr. Roberts has for a long time conducted the drug store with the assistance of his wife. But the strain, connected with the unsettled condition of the weather, has gradually been depriving him of his fairly good health until he found it necessary to take a vacation in the glorious climate of California. Mr. Harrison, who holds a good position with Marshal Field’s wholesale house, has found that too close confinement to business has demanded a change. They expect to be gone about two months, during which period Mr. L. A. Jones, of Chicago, will take charge of the business. We hope to see Mr. Roberts and Mr. Harrison return in the very best of health.
