JORDAN.

Protracted meeting at Union this week. Nate Kerrie and wife are down from Wheatfield spending the holidays with friends and relatives. Come out to the discussion at Union to-night. Able leaders on both sides. Mr. W. W. Swartz, who has been tax collector in this district, has moved away. Marion, Ind., is his new home. Music is furnished at the Union meeting by Bro. Snead and Vice. Banjo and organ are the instruments used. Among the funny things to take place at a protracted meeting the funniest was to see Bro. Snead kiss Bro. Vice. When we see the finest and best young girls of our country marry the lowest down, lazy inebriates that are not worth powder and shot enough to kill them, it makes us think there is something wrong with our school system. Isn’t there a need for something like sociology to be taught in our common schools? Oh yes! “Jack the Ripper,” “Reformer” understands very

clearly “Little” Kitt’s political standing. The readers of the PILOT are well aware that “Little” Kitt turned over the product of his pen to Republicanism and the devil for about 720 Republican subscriptions that were threatened to be withdrawn from his list. Why, "Jack" Kitt took less money for ‘'Fort Herald” than Benedict Arnold did for West Point, yet you are so blinded by the light of your wisdom as to call him “no political crank.” Oh yes! “Reformer” is well acquainted with “Little” Kitt; knew him when he lived at Remington; had the pleasure to call on him for mail Nov. 8,1888. While handing over the same, “Reformer” asked concerning the election. Our “Little” Kitt, with tears in his eyes and faltering voice, replied: “It’s doubtful. You can’t depend on flying report.” If Kitt told you he was perfectly satisfied over the result of the election. I think he told you a lie, pure and unadulterated. If he had foreseen Cleveland’s election he, no doubt, would have told those Republican subscribers to go to the devil, that he was working for the good of his country,” as all political hypocrites do. Tell me some more about “Little” Kitt. Wednesday while Tom Walters was in town McCoy’s cattle, that he is pasturing, broke through the wire fence into Wm. H. Cain’s field where they destroyed some shock-corn for which the squire taxed Tommie five dollars. A good way to sell corn. A white crow has been staying in Charley Hensler’s grove. Parties in Remington have offered a good price for the bird dead or alive.

REFORMER.
