People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 January 1894 — CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. [ARTICLE]

CARPENTER TOWNSHIP.

BY DON’T TELL.

The Holiness people have been holding protracted meeting at Remington for the three weeks. If they can convert a few of those fellows that can be seen reeling along the streets almost any Saturday, under the influence of intoxicating liquor, the meeting will be a God’s blessing to that town.

We notice several loads of corn being hauled from this part of the county to Rensselaer. That is as it should be; when one company gets control of all the ware houses along a road, it is high time the farmers were taking their grain somewhere else. The decision given by judges on the tariff question, “Resolved, That a protective tariff is beneficial to the American people,” at No. 3 literary, 11th inst., was in favor of the negative. A very wise decision. Farmer? w§re making use of the good roads last week by hauling tile from the factory. As the old saying is, “Make hay while the sun shines,” for next spring it will surely rain. Mrs. David Hahn has been dangerously sick for some time, also one of their little girls is very low with pneumonia. James L. Babcock, of Parr, shipped five car loads of cattle to Chicago from Goodland last week.

A great many cases of grip in this vicinity, but none very serious. Public sales are almost an every day occurrence.

Speaking for ourselves, we are always glad to pick up the Chicago Express, now edited by Henry Vincent, for the pointers it furnishes bearing directly upon our movement. We have secured a clubbing rate that will save our friends money by taking tjie Express with the Pilot.
