The County News.

CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. BY DON’T TELL. Mrs. Ella May. wife of George H. May, died Dec. Bth. The funeral services was conducted at the residence by Rev. Street er, of the Goodland circuit. In- j terment in the cemetery at Remington. Ella leaves a husband, * one little girl (Agnes) past four years, of age, uud a little boy but a few days old. In the death ' of Ella we loose a good, kind| friend and neighbor, but we be- i lieve our loss is her gain. To say that the husband and father 1 has the sympathy of the entire! community is poor consolation | for him. The future looks dark! and gloomy for the bereaved family but there is comfort in the thought that they may meet again, and the song that was sung at the funeral “We never say good-bye in Heaven” must be a comfort to the husband and father in this the saddest hour of his life. Plenty of rain at pi-esent which will be a great help to the dry wells, of which this part of the county, has been unprotitbaly blessed with, as most of the dug wells have failed during the dry weather.

We hear that Win. Sayers and son Lee, are anticipating a visit to Missouri after the holidays, to look at the country, with the intention of moving out if suited. We understand thatWm B. Price who has been sick for some time past, is some better but not .able to be out of doors any of the time. Ex-county Surveyor Alter has gone to South Bend. He has been living at home this fall and winter. George Nicholson has again been laid up with the rheumatism, but at this writing is better. Literary exercises and debate ■at No. 3. every Thursday night. A good time generally. News is about as scarce as hens teeth aud rabbits in this part of North America. Albert Gray is the happy father of a seven pound boy. All doing well. Wedding bells will be heard in this vicinity in the near future. When on a visit to lowa, Mr. K. Dalton, »f Luray, Russeli County Kansas, called at the laboratory of Chamberlain’s & Co., Des Moines to show them liis six year old boy, whose life had been saved by Chamberlain'sCough Remedy, it having cured bnn of a very severe attack of croup. Mr. Dalton is certain that it saved his boy’s life and is enthusiastic in his praise of the Remedy. For sale by F. B. Meyers “the druggist.”

Milk Church. To The Members; Greeting: I hope, if you have any poor, destitute neighbors, that you will make them a Christinas present of a turkey or a sack of flour. You need not come to Rensselaer, they will be provided for. Let’s set an example for other churches. A. McCoy, Pres.

Dliwnoiulx. See the tray of diamonds in Huff’s show window. They are out of sight. An attempt was mado to organize an A. P. A. lodge at Valparaiso Sunday night. The organizer was hissed at and afterwards local speakers took the stage and denounced his statements. The meeting broke up in disorder,—Lake Co. News. We have, arranged for a regular correspondent from Remington, who we think will do justice to our handsome list of subsrcibers at that place. There are several other places over the county that we would like to hear from. Last Saturday was the fiftyfourth birthday of J. H. Fishel, and his friends being aware of the fact arranged a surprise dinner in his honor. He received several nice presents smd all seemed to have a general good time.

A subscriber to this paper in a letter to the editor, kindly remarks: “I am very anxious that the Pilot should be the best paper in the county, for I think it is doing more for the farmers than all the others put together.” The sidewalks about town that had failed to receive a clearing of the snow which had accumulated upon them, were almost impassible on Thursday of/last week. A shovel is a mighty handy thing in a case like that. The Junior Endeavor Society, of the Christian church, will give a special program at the church, on Sunday afternoon, Dec, 30. They have had this in preparation for some time,- and a very interesting time is expected. In some manner several errors crept into last week’s issue of ■-he Pilot. They were not very serious ones, but enough so that we thought it proper to make amends for. We hope they may not occur again. Several correspondence articles were crowded out this week on account of local news. Ira and Warren Washburn are at home to spend the holidays.

Ail a Mistake. I am still at the old stand, notwithstanding the report that I had quit business. I have a complete stock of goods, and wi.l be found at my place of business day or night ready to attend calls. T. P. Wright, Undertaker. The White County Democrat has been awarded the county printing for the coming year. It is right and just that this printing be done at home, and tho county could well afford to have it done here though it cost a trifle more than at Indianapolis. Who. is looking out for the best inter l esets of the county, the county newspaper or the Indianapolis job offices? This same doctrine will apply to the people of the state and nation.—Wolcott Enterprise. During the March term of the circuit court, a case was tried, iu which Ralph W. Marshall was the plaintiff, and M. 0. Halloran was the defendant. The trouble involved was that Mr. Marshall claimed certain fees, etc., for legal services, and obtained a judgment, by default, against Mr. Halloran. The latter appealed the case to the supreme court, and the same returns that the original decision be reversed.

C. C. Ross, of Chicago, left there Wednesday to come here to visit G. A. Martindale, the baker. While waiting for a train at the Polk street depot, a sneak thief stole his valise containing a check for $99.00. He had set the valise down in the waiting room and was called to one side to talk to some person, when it was stolen. There will be a box social at Independence school house, Barkley township, Monday evening, Jan. 1. This is given by the Independence and North Lawn schools to purchase The Young People’s Reading Circle bopks. The teachers, Mary McColly and Katie Shields extend a cordial invitation to all. For the occasion of Christmas and New Year holidays, the Monon will sell excursion tickets at the rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Tickets on sale Dec. 23, 24, 25, 30, 31 and Jan. 1. Good going on date of sale, good returning up to and including Jan. 2nd. 1894. W. H. Beaivj, Agt.

Will C. Babcock and Miss Ava Daugherty, both well known young people in this township, were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents southeast of town, last Wednesday, Rev. B. F. Ferguson officiated. The Pilot opens congratulations. Chicago’s election for Mayor occurred last Tuesday. There vvei'e four tickets in the field, and the following is the vote as cast to each candidate: Hopkins, Dem., 113,059; Swift, Rep., 111,918; Britzius, Socialist, 2,066; Wakeley, Populist, 532. We wish it distinctly understood that we are not responsible for the opinions of our correspondents. The columns of this paper are open to ail, and they may discuss anything of interest, so long as they stay within the bounds of reason.

Elder J. L. Brady preached two very interesting sermons at the Christian church last Sunday, The next regular preaching occurs on Sunday Dec. 30, After that there wii be regular preaching services at that church every Sunday.

Hovr H e Waited ft or Santa Claus. This beautiful cantata will be given at the Opera House, this evening, at eight o’clock, by the Christian Sunday school. No pains will be spared to make the evening s entertainment highly enjoyable to all. The first scene opens with a chorus of children marching, and singing in praise of Santa Claus, followed by a rehearsal for Christmas by the Sewing Circle. Little Nettie tired and sleepy waiting for Santa Claus, makes a most pleasing close to the scene. The “Brownies” in their quaintest style of dress and with their laughable antics compose the second scene. The third scene is opened by Flora’s song in pity for the waifs. The song of “Home” by the children and the “Evening Hour,” a quartet, follows. At the sound of bells the children rush on the stage. A false alarm given by the approach of “Jack Frost,” who sings the children a song and charms them to sleep. Faries enter, Santa Claus appears, wakes up the children, twits them for going to sleep and letting him steal in on them unnoticed. “Jack Frost” and Faries enter and all join in the “Good Night” song and occupy positions in final tableau. To defray expense, a small admittance of ten cents will be charged.

Call on Clarence A. Lecklider, at Mrs. Lecklider’s Millinery store.

One of the most abominable nuisances around this town is the crowd of schoolchildren that are allowed to gather at the postoffice, at noons and in the evenings. Some of the children, we mean large and small, whose parents or themselves, never receive mail of any consequence, are the most regular in their visits to the postmaster. Different members of the same family are persistent in their inquiries for mail at least several times daily. In the evening the children crowd into the building, and it is impossible for business men to even gain access to their own boxes on their account. We think the parents of the children, and also the teachers, should investigate this nuisance and see if what we say is not entirely correct. A correspondent from this county to the Goodland Herald, says; “Corn is being hauled from this vicinity to Jordan township and sold on the McCoy farm at 3 cents per bushel above our Goodland and Remington markets. A few years ago 2 or 3 cents was not much inducement to farmers to haul corn 2 or 3 miles farther for a few extra pennies. But of late years with poor crops and a crippled government and iow prices, farmers have concluded that if they can’t get the extra dollars they will look after the extra cents. v

Andrew K. Yeoman, Alfred and Delos 'Thompson vs. L. Nl A. & C. Ry. Co. ; Frank l|. Ketchinaf-k vs. I. I. & I. Ry. Co., and Horace Markle vs. I. I. & I. Ry. Co., are the titles to suits for damages that have been filed with County Clerk Coover, for the January term of circuit court. The plaintiffs are asking damages for hay that was burned up last fall during the heavy fires that visited this seotion of the country. They claim that the fires were originated by sparks from passing locomotives. Some time ago we mentioned the political features that were being introduced into the high school, A convention has been held by the students and complete Republican and Democratic national, state and county tickets have been nominated. The election takes place this afternoon and a very interesting time is expected. The balloting will be done by the Australian system. The whole affair is a good lesson in civil government and a great interest is being taken in it by the students. One of the most unique pieces of mechanism that we have seen lately, is the M Ferris Wheel,” which W, A, Huff, the jeweler, has constructed. It is moved by clock works, and is a pretty good representation of the genuine article.

We think it a good idea if the town marshal would use several more snow plows on the sidewalks the next time it snows, as they would be kept in a more presentable condition and we know it would be easier for pedestrians to walk on them. During the last snow, some walk? failed to receive the help of a Shovel, and when it turned warmer the snow turned to ice and it was almost impossible to walk over them. Property owners and tenants should also look after this as well. On a complaint of Mrs. A. K. Sills to enjoin the construction of the Wakarusa ditch. Judge Reynolds holds that the Timmons law is vitally defective and that proceedings under it, at least in joint ditches involving two counties are void. This is the final knock-out blow to the Wakarusa ditch, and *7,000 to m.OOO costs are left for Jasper and White counties to settle as best they oan.-Montioello Herald.
