From Carpenter Township.
Stone Farm, Jasper Co., Ind., Sept. 10th, 1870. Editobs Union: Sirs: It may be the impression upon the minds of some that the small delegation which brought up the rear of the procession the best Carpenter township could do, or that that was the entire del. egation from our township, but sncli is not the fact. Carpenter township was not represented in the procession at all. The aforesaid delegation was hut a small part of school district No. 3. This district turned out a procession of some ten teams. There were five or six other teams that went independent of the procession. Had Carpenter township turned out as she-should flag No. 1 would have been hers. Why the Remington delegation “played out” we have not yet learned. We hope they will never “play out” so again.— They may have their own fun about Us, blit we felt sorry for them.— Suffice to say we were well repaid for our trouble, and are ready for another rally at any time, and especially on the 11th of October, when we expect to do our duty more completely than on last Saturday. Very respectfully, Ac., . T. PARKER, President, Simon- L. Ai.tek, Sec’y., , B. R. Moffit, Marshal of Delegation. There is the grit that brings every man to the polls. School district No. 3, of Carpenter township, did well on the 17th, and received many compliments for their enterprise. “Act well your partj-’tlierc all the honor lies.” We know they will do their duty on the 11th of October.
