A Hebron Love Letter.

Hebron Leader. The following love letter was picked up on the street Tuesday. It was written to a young lady with whom the writer had become enarmored: Dearest— If you can accompany me to the church on the 30th, please inform me at once. My dear, I am constantly thinking of you: my love is stronger than tlie smell of limberger cheese, store butter or the kick of an old cow. Sensations of exquisite joy go through me like the wind through my lilacs and caper over my heart like William goat on the back yard fence, I feel like I could lift myself by my boot straps to the realms of, time and hold sweet confaberations with the angels: as the mean pup hankers after sweet milk, so do I hanker after your presence, and as the goslin swims in the mud puddle, so do I swim in the sea of delightfulness when you. are near, my heart plays up anck down like a Churn dash, and my eyes stand open like cellar doors in a country town, and if my love is not reciprocated, I will pine away like a poisoned bedbug, and you can come and catch cold on my grave. Lovingless.

That Ship Canal.

_ The object of a ship canal to WaK Lake Michi # an with the Wabash river, and through that with the Ohio and Missfssippf (has received some attention ffi the state legislature, and is now being agitated to some extent™ he Indianapolis papers. Prof.

1 t r JV —papers. Prof of Crawfords I 'die, the well known civil en°i- ! neer, who has made a thorough IS Vey - ° f the Kankakee river re-1 g on, is an earnest advocate of I the project. His plan is to hare ! the canal leave Lake M chi4 ‘ at a point about on the boundan-

link o . T boundary Une between Lake and Porter wuntieS, to strike south bv alitie east tdl it reaches the Kanka follow up tne Kankakee J bridge, and from there to the Monon, Tippecanoe, ' to the!

Dunn a south by eas„ and down that to tu«. ami down the Tippecanoe Wabash. This route would Cu, across the northeast corner of Jasper county. The Kankakee river would supply the water for the canal, both' north and south from it. Prof. Campbell says there are no very formidable engineering difficulties in the way of such a canal, and thinks that its benefits would be very great. —Republican. Oh, what a project, the water of the Kankakee to run both north and south, up hill and dowm. We have known this stream for over thirty years, have seen it as “full as a goose” a hundred times, have seen it foaming, frothing, almost beside itself, but never so badly “off” as to run both north and south at the same time. In all itg ups and downs these thirty years, its course has steadily and constantly been to the southwest. In these thirty years this river and its regions have been surveyed by the government, the slate and the Kankakee Drainage Co., of 1871. Thousands and thousands of dollars have been squandered by “well known civil engineers” and never a shovel full of dirt has been dug. Ten years ago Prof. Campbell swamped several thousand dollars of state appropriation on the Kankakee and never a drop of water was disturbed. That route the Prof, speaks of from Dunn’s bridge to the big Monon he has never seen. He tried to run a line from English Lake (the lowest point on the Kankakee) to the Monon, but when five miles south he found himself 20 feet above the river and the land still rising. The project was then abandoned, and we have never heard anything more of it till the above appeared in last week’s Republican. What this Kankakee country wants is a few Giffords, a few home ditching companies. A ship canal is only *a bid for a few more government and state surveys, only a wild scheme to work up a job for “well known civil engineers.” There can be no nicer snap for “well known engineers” than this Kankakee surveying picnic. Prof. Campbell and his corps when here had a jolly good time, fishing, hunting, frolicking and surveying a little. It was so pleasant and nice that even Gov. Porter came up, camped out with the boys and went “sniping.” One of the “well known” that summer, being asked by. a “sandlapper” how long the surveyors were going to stay,.replied: “Oh as long as the appropriation lasts.” No countenance should be given this silly scheme. We have had thirty years of “well known civil engineering” now. We want a few years of actual digging.

DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. The partnership heretofore existing between Coen & Paxton in the grain, hay and coal business is this day dissolved by mutual consent. Charles W. Coen will continue in the business and all accounts are left with him for settlement. Charles W. Coen, Joseph C. Paxton. April 24th, 1893. Town Cows. Good pastures adjoining town can be secured for the summer. Only a limited number will be taken. H. L. Brown, ts Dentist.

But what amount of dam 1 age was done we are unable to say at this writing. Miss Maud Tedford returned home Saturday from a visit with Prof. Cassel’s folks at Rossville. Mrs. Hildreth, wife of conductor Hildreth, who was killed on the C. &I. C. some time ago, is visiting friends in Goodland. The following mixed ticket was elected here last Monday: H. T. Greggs, Rep., trustee first wgrd; John Carpenter, Dem., clerk; T. J. Gray, Rep., treasurer; J. Apger, Dem., marshal.

Mr. All Patton went to Danville, 111., Tuesday, where he and his brother Bert have another large poultry establishment. Mrs. Cronk, wife of Dr. Cronk,, went to Kingman, Kans., Tuesday to visit relatives. We will say to “Jack the Hugger” in Remington Press, that we have never made one statement through the Pilot about the AV. C. T. U’s. or the principal of this school but what w r e could back with tons of evidence. Our motto is: “Tell the truth all the time and shame the devil most of the time.

Standing room was at a premium on the court house grounds at Fowler last Thursday while the jury in the Paine case was being paneled. One “Fad” Davis has been dropped out of the school work of this county. The school board has secured the services of Prof. Dickerson for next year’s vrork here. He comes with the best recommendations from each locality in which he has taught and particularly from Remington, where he has been at the head of the school for about five years. It looks as though about as much of the travel from this section will go over the Pan Handle to the World’s Fair as there will be over the C. &I. C. and C. &E. I. There will be more ride for the money, if not for less. Jack the Ripper.

EAST WALKER.

Spring has made its appearance again since the snow storm. Farmers are testing their seed corn as to its growing qualities, and find most of it all right. Most all the children are set free from school. Our trustee has secured wood for the schools the coming year. If all the trustees -would do this the teachers would not be chagrined at their disobedient fires. Willie Hershman has bought a new gun and is the champion hunter. He shot thirty times and got seven snipe. He says he always debits expense and credits profit when he hunts.

Mr. Webber is teaching music at West Vernon on the violin, Wednesday evenings. Singing at Hershman the second Saturday evening in this month, Rev. Street leader. Preaching on the following Sunday at 10.30 a. m. and 7 p. m. Everyone invited. Art Flemming has rented Mrs. Geo. Summers’ farm and intends farming this year.

A paper that jis. not afraid to tell the truth is What every farmer needs. Oscar Eldred and Lee Jessup have gone into partnership in the carpenter business. Mr. Eldred is a good carpenter and a hustler. A preacher that does not fulfill his. appointment when he can, is, we think, unworthy of the calling and ought to find some other employment.

WHEATFIELD.

On account of so much bad weather and the scarcity of cars in the winter, the farmers will have to hold lots of their hay over. Roads are in bad condition and the merchants are complaining of dull times. Our winter term of school closed May 4th. It had to close for two weeks on account of the measles, so it should have been out two weeks sooner. We have had a good school taught by Rosa Grube andThos. Maloney, Mr. Fritz Notieson has sold his saloon to some unknown party. It will change hands this w r eek. Our new meat market is nearly completed. The first meat will go on the block this week. Our ladies aid society gave a “taffy pull” last week at the residence of Mrs. Bentley. There is talk of the I. I, &I. railroad putting in about three miles more of side tracks here on account of not having enough side tracks to do their switching. It is no uncommon! thing to see four and five freight trains switching here all at once. Our Jew tailors pulled stakes Saturday and left the town. Some of our citizens attached their goods to get even with them, so they paid the costsand went on their way rejoicing. North Star.

AIX.

Mr. Schuyler Allman is in our vicinity again. Wild Lill.

BLACKFORD.

Mr. William Gazaway is on the sick list. Miss Eva Gazaway has returned from Rensselaer to visit relatives at Blackford. Miss Nora Cooper is visiting her sister in Rensselaer. From another correspondent. Farmers are beginning to grumble on account of bad weather. Water is plenty and tile is scarce.

The Gifford ditch is flowing at high tide and the bridges are quite shaky. Wheat is looking very well considering the wet weather. Some are complaining of their seed potatoes rotting. There was a dauce at W. Smith’s Monday night. A good time was reported. Mr. Robert Shooks’ oldest child has been quite ill, but at present is reported better. There is some talk of another store being built at Blackford. Charles Reed and others took possession of a bee tree on A. Donnelly’s land, one day last week. Fruit is not yet all killed. Mrs. M. Reed is constructing a new summer dwelling. Logan Wood is running a peddling wagon through our vicinity. Mr. S. McCurtain is able to be up half of his time. Old Boy.

FAIR OAKS.

Lemuel Mclntire is moving into the Chris Swaim property. Mrs. Chris Swaim and family have moved to Minnesota. Barney Hays has moved into the John Gilmore property. The foundation for T. Mallatt’s new store room is being laid. The rock for the foundation was shipped from Attica. We have just returned from the country. The town of Aix is no small affair, and is doing a rushing business. A new blacksmith shop adorns the town of Blackford and Mr. Caster, the new blacksmith, was very busy. Theodore Hurley was slinging powder and shot over the counter to hungry hunters. Wm. Daniels has one large field of raw sod plowed up and Edward Griggs was building fence for Chris Arnold. S. R. Nichols was out in the rain fixing a hog lot and cattle pound. Thomas Richardson was busy registering letters and attending to the mail. We called to see Wallace Murray but he was out some where on his farm fixing fence and we moved on to the Pinkamink post office. Stopping for a short time we called at Isaac Walkers and were cordially entertained for a few moments. We then proceeded on our journey until we arrived at Mrs. Nancy Smiths and we received

WEST CARPENTER.

Rain or shine we notice the Pilot is falling in -new homes every week. Mr. Geo. Clark .has sold his farm east of Goodland for SSB per acre. He purchased the farm of Mr. Clowery about a year ago at $45. This gives Mr. Clark a premium of sl3 per acre including the oats* crop. Mr. Lewis Alter is now engaged in surveying in Beilton county. Lewis is a hustler irr that line as he has had several years of experience. Mr. Thomas McMurry is a true People’s Party man and is not ashamed to speak of it. He says the Pilot is the best county paper in the state. That’s right, Tom. The Jasper Co. correspondent in Goodland Herald thinks the road bosses ought to look after the small culverts on the public highways. Yes, we do think so, for the recent heavy rains have left some of them in a bad shape in our district also. Mr. Geo. Nicholson has been a victim of rheumatism this spring and has not been able to do much work.

Mr. Frank Gray is learning the art of tile ditching at present. He is taking lessons under Clint May. The only fault the boys can find is, their spade goes down easy enough but they have to use musle to pull it out.’ We are informed that John Lamborn of Remington will fill the office of assessor in this locality this spring. - Tomorrow night is alliance night at Union school house and we want to attend as we understand that they want a good turn out and a good time. The oats are showing signs of yellow fever and if the rain and cold weather continues a few weeks longer there will be small hopes of their recovery. Where is our Remington correspondent. Boot Jack.
