F. H. Robertson Again to Pilot the Mt. Ayr Pilot

F. H. Robertson, who ran the Mt. Ayr Pilot for some time, has returned to the job and is again to publish that paper, getting out the issue of this week. It is understood that he came at the earnest solicitation of Mt. Ayr people. Claud Seward, who had published the paper since Mr. Robertson went to Freeland Park, will go on a farm. Mr. Robertson bought the Freeland Park paper and found after arriving there that it was a “gold brick.’’ The former publisher had conducted a piano contest and had induced all the subscribers to pay in advance. He found that many were paid in front from five to twenty years and that he was expected to carry out these pledges and get nothing for it. He.could not afford to do it and decided to “jump the job.” Mt. Ayr people have been quite loyal to their paper and Brother Robinson will be welcomed by Pilot subscribers. Even The Republican, which he used to roast when there seemed nothing else to write about, welcomes him' “back from Melba,”.and we hope he finds plenty of room in his paper to give us an occasional dig. We rather enjoy It

Several Families in Need; Charity Measures Proposed.

Persons who look after the needs of the poor report that at this time a number of families in Rensselaer are in quite destitute circumstances and that there are no funds to use for their relief. It has been proposed that a charity entertainment be given, the proceeds to be placed In the hands of a committee for systematic distribution. The long, severe winter has kept many industrious men and women out of work and their* expenses have been much more than during ordinary winters, owing to the long cold period. No time should be lost in meeting whatever needs exist and the ministers will find hearty co-operation of the public if they will devote some time to this matter.

Two Game Wardens Visit Rensselaer—Get Your License.

Game wardens have frequently visited Rensselaer during the past few months and it is safe to conclude that they have been tipped off that there is something doing. It is a safe thing for any person that goes hunting to have his license with him. If you should forget this and one of these game wardens asks to see it, you might have to pay a big fine. Two game wardens were here today. They had no Information for the reporter but they ' looked knowingly at each other and it is safe to say they are on the track of some violation of the game laws.
