Jasper Republican, Volume 2, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1875 — Kankakee Township. [ARTICLE]

Kankakee Township.

Dear Republican : Thinking that a few items from this part of the county would not be without interest to a part of your readers, I make the attempt te send you a few. The farmers are very busy and have been for several weeks putting up hay, of which there is an abundance, and of a tolerable good quality. As corn is not likely to be as good this season as common, the farmers are acting with cemmendable good sense, in thus saving so mfteh grass. We have in ti*iff township two first-rate. Sunday schools, well officered, and they appear to be doing'agood work. The singing in both give etery evidence that they have not entirely neglected this moat pleasing exercise of all well regulated Sunday schools. The average Kankakee girl is witling to go without a "pinned-back,” can nuke out with a bustle that is a little smaller than, a full grown coon, and will even confess her inability to sing more than the first two lines of “Threads of Silver among the Gold;” provided, she has a little bunch of the hair above her forehead cut off short. I have written enough for this time. K. K. K. (Which does net mean Ku Klux Klan.) We would be very much pleased to hear from“K. K. K.” again.
