People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 November 1894 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

It was currently reported on the streets last week that three men had been employed to lick the Pilot editor. Now, for the benefit and encouragement of the contracting parties we will size the Pilot editor up to these men. He is a man who has long since passed the prime and vigor of his life, he weighs 130 lbs. avordupois, is 5 feet 8 inches, round shouldered, sunken chest, short winded (having inherited weak lungs from birth,) he eats but two meals a day, sits in his chair nights to sleep, for inside medicine, his daily diink is Allen’s Lung Balsom, and, six months in the year, he wears Alcock’s porous plaster on his lame back. This is tfye man the three bullies are hired to lick. Come on gentlemen, do

your work and get your pay. This will perhaps be the last week the present Pilot editor will be found in the editorial sanctum sanctorum, for knowing that his health and habits of life would not admit of constant mental indoor employment, he only contracted to run this paper till after the election. Call on him gentlemen while he is near. Do not lick him when he is gone. If you are going to set trees uhis fall, give me a call.

Sol Norman breaking his wagon Monday left it by the road side till the next morning, and on returning found that somebody had carried off one of the wheels. Sol says he can do nothing with a three wheeled wagon, nor does he think any one in the country has a five wheeled wagon. If the fun is all over, Mr. Norman would like for the wheel to be returned.

Examine C. E. Hershman’s new stoves, and learn prices before purchasing elsewhere. I Joe Nagle’s hand rode his pony up to town Wednesday night and hitched it to the rack at the court house, and some one took it away, and it has not yet been heard of. It is a roan pony ; long tail and main. Anybody furnishing information of this pony that will lead to its dis i covery, will be amply rewarded by Mr. Nagle. For anything in dry goods line go to C. D.
