People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 November 1895 — LEE. [ARTICLE]

LEE.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot. Otis Jacks went to Rensselaer last week. A. B. Lewis visited La Fayette a few days since. Hugh Lowe w’as in this vicinity Wednesday. C. C. Robinson of La Fayette visited his farm last week. Chas. Van Arsdal’s little boy is much better. Dr. Loughridge of Rensselaer has the case in hand. Charley Baughman, who is teaching the Johnson school, visited the institute in Hanging Grove Saturday and reports an interesting time.

Harry Chester the boy pedestrian mentioned in the Chicago Telegram last Saturday spent Sunday night in town; he is on his way around the U. S. The distance he expects to cover this trip is about 15,000 miles and he expects to accomplish the feat in 18 months. This sort of an occupation seems almost as useless as the prize fight near Rensselaer last Saturday night. What is the matter? Has the Pilot a new typo, or are we a little too careless about forming our letters? We noticed last week that in two places where we had intended the initial “C,” that “A” was substituted, and in one instance, instead of the abreviation “Mrs. ’’ the name “Mose” was used. We know that correspondents often make mistakes, and we presume editors do too, but in case we are both innocent we kindly request the editor of the Pilot to join us in giving the “devil” his due. B. Y. Guess.

A little extra care, friend, in the clear lettering of names, we can supply the balance of the items, though it is pleasant to have it all legible.—[Ed. F. R. Meyer, druggist, has prepared a large quanity of the hog cholera preventative, recommended by the state lecturer, who spoke at the farmers meeting in the court house last Saturday, the formula of which is given elsewhere in this paper. Call and get a package before your hogs become sick.
