People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 February 1896 — Faith, Courage, Success! [ARTICLE]

Faith, Courage, Success!

A word with our folks who are discouraged and almost ready to give up—please do not give up yet, hold on, fight on. Times will be better, we are sure of it, with Jasper county divided, and a new court house at Virgie filled with middle of the road officers, and run in the interest of the people who elected them. Plan now and plant in the spring; do the best farming next season you have ever done. But do a big lot of thinking this winter. Somebody has undertaken to do it for you without you asking them, and a pretty mess they have made of it. They must quit it, we’ll do our own thinking and work for our own welfare, knowing whatever is good for us is good for our neighbors. Be courageous, be patient, be resolute, and hold on! The skies will brighten and the days of prosperity will surely dawn. Muck Itch.
