To Our Correspondents. Again we will have to call the attention of those who have been acting as correspondents to the Pilot, as well as those who occasionally send in letters, that their communications must positively reach this office by Tuesday of each week or we cannot publish them. This is positive and wc cannot deviate from this rule. Probably if the writers were in our place they could more fully understand the situation. At least half a dozen letters for publication, reached us on last Wednesday evening and were intended for this issue, but the result is, our paper is full and they cannot be published. We thank the writers and hope they will come again. Did you get a Valentine? Smoke the Mendoza cigar. Fresh sweet „pickle’s, in. bulk, at Alter’s. Everything new, neat and clean at Malo.y’s.

House Plants.

By previous arrangements, a j meeting was held in the PresbyJ terian church, on last Sunday I afternoon, for the purpose of or- ! ganizing the various churohes of j Rensselaer so that they could establish a relief fund to be used among the poor of this place. This is the first action that has been taken by our churches and it certainly is a move in the right direction* Their are several families in this place who are in actual need of help from our citizens and this is a matter that should not be neglected. The organization effected by the church was as follows; president, R. P. Benjamin; secretary, Mrs. Belle Kerr; treasurer, Mrs. J. M. Wasson. Committees from the various churches i were appointed to solicit among its respective members, and the entire-collection will be thrown into a general fund for the relief of the poor of this place. When the frost is on the win-1 dow and the kitchen pail is frozen; when the little icy needles come with every breath that blows, when chilblains make us sick and faint, and cold feet give us pains, it’s safe to bet wo all wish for summer days again. For while we sweat and fume around, in gauzy summer clothes, it’s easy enough to get cooled off as everybody knows; but it’s different in the winter, when the world is full of ice, and the weather is as hard to beat as a pair of loaded dice. We may talk about our climate, and about our spring and fall, but the balmy days of summer are the days that suit us all. Evers & Cooper’s Peck's Bad Boy Combination which was billed to appear at the Opera House pn Tuesday night met with shell slim receipts that the company was forced to disband. The proprietors divided their property and Mr. Cooper and the Company went to Chicago on Thursday. Mr. Evers and his wife are still in the city with their share of the property and will organize a new company. Mr. and Mrs. Evers are thoroughly show people and are well recommended by leading citizens of Henry county, Ohio. Evers’ father is the editor of the Henry County Democrat and is also ex-auditor of that county.— Delphi Citizen. Dr. S. C. Fenton, auditor of Warren county, who had been indicted and charged jointly with Augustus Cronkhite, defaulting treasurer of that county with a conspiracy to embezzle $20,000 of the county funds, had his trial at Williamsport last week, before Judge Rabb and a jury. After being out but fifteen minutes the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, fully exonerated the auditor of the charge.—Benton Review, Newspaper editors and printers are not such a bad lot after all. Read what a valuable exchange says. “Of the 3,890 convicts in the state penitentiaries of Texas, there is not a printer or newspaper man, while there are bankers, doctors, photographers, ministers, bar keepers, cooks, barbers and members of all other callings and professions. The cogwheel of justice must have slipped an eccentric somewhere. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff cf Tyler Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was . almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He says; “It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invaluable remedy for coughs and colds.” For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. J. E. Miller, of Chicago, has, opened a barber shop in the room formerly occupied by John Alter, and is called “The Snug.” He has a nice, new outfit," is a smooth hand at the business and you cannot find a nicer place in town than his to get a good shave or a fashionable hair cut. Call and see him. It was our intention to publish Sam Sparling’s letter in this issue, but other matter which could not very well be laid aside, has crowded it out. W© promise our readers that it will appear next week without fail, Winter is hanging on in nice style, . j

The oldest inhabitant cannot recount the presence of a similar one since they can remember. It snowed and blowed, and blowed and showed, and finally did both at the same time. It was the worst day of the season. The trains were blockaded on all roads. The milk train, which should arrive here at 0:21 p. in., pulled in about 8 o’clock Tuesday morning. Alvena, wife of Jaines Antrim, ex-recorder of Jasper county, died at their residence in the north part of Rensselaer, on Thursday, Feb. Bth.

Mrs. Ellen Ramey died at the home of her son in the northwest part of town last Wednesday morning. She is the widow of Septemus Ramey, and at the time of her death was past seventy years of age.

Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any medicine for rheumatism that relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and that she has also used it for lame back with great success. For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. The young men of this place have about completed the organization of a gymnasium. They have over fifty names as charter members, and no doubt it will soon be one of the features of the town. It is a good thing if properly conducted, and we hope that such will be the case. Parties desiring farm loans will consult their own interests by calling on or writing to F. J. Sears & Co., at the Citizens’ State Bank, Rensselaer, Ind. Their terms cannot bo beaten and the commissions charged are low. Martin Leobold, of Gillam township, left last Monday morning. He will visit the states of Washington, Oregon and, California, and will also visit the Midwinter Fair, at San Francisco.

Surely a Mistake.

“And now comes the American JTin Plate company at Elwood and decides to double its capaci|ty and run night and day. This . too, in face of the fact that the Wilson bill has passed the House and will puss the Senate. What , will the republican press of tho State say now. poor things?” The above article appeared |as an editorial in the last issue | <>f the Democratic Sentinel. "Wo jdo not know whether Bro. Mej Evven is asleep, or rather has j been asleep or not. But any one | who should happen to read this I paragraph and then remember (the bro:uJ>assertion made by the I Democratic party not more" than j two years ago, that there was I not a single tin plate factory I within the boundary lines of our state, nor had there oven been a ; single sheet of tin made in Indiana. Surely, brother, you don’t mean it. You surely' have forgotten which way “you’re a gwine,” or that article would not have appeared. You should post up on the tin plate question, before publishing comments on its manufacture in Indiana. *
