It would be refined cruelty for the weather authorities to predict rain or snow for that eventful day under such circumstances. With the opening of spring comes the perplexing question to many a feminine mind that turns lightly to the bicycle, whether to wear bloomers or not to wear them.

But however she may decide, rest assured that she will be the same rosy cheeked, happy minded maiden that you knew before she adopted her cycle garmept.

Mr. Leek lived on a farm in Illinois for 47 years, and when he and his excellent family sold out and bought the large farm on which he now resides, his neighbors and old associates tendered him an ovation in the way of a surprise party.

The Pilot is glad to welcome such sterling citizens to Jasper county, hopes Mr. Leek may live many years to enjoy his new home.
