Snvder County Tribune, Last week's Post give- "Pilgrim" S. Hitler an 1 Eye-opener," showing him up in his true light. A few more such doses well applied and thoroughly rub bed in, may cure "Pilgrim" Hitter of squinting. ''Pilgrim" Hitter admits that he wrote the letter to Judge Dean we ac cused him of writing, but lies about the contents. The transportation was pro vided and hotel bill paid by a gentle man in this place, other than the edi tor Of the Tribune. We have frequently wondered what the "P" in P. Scott Hitter's name stood for, he has now given us the desired information, as in his last week's News he states substantially that he was a delegate to the State Convention the "year that Lombard's Pilgrim Hand organized, in which Lumhard was pro nounced unqualified to join." Thank you Rltter, this is just what we have always asserted, that we were not a member of the band. No doubt many persons wonder what has given Ritter such a "hang-dog" look, as It is an ut ter impossibility for him to look vou squarely in the eyes for live seconas try him and see him drop his peepers they will have ao difficulty now in knowing when they learn that he is a full fledged member of the band, and in the future we will never forget that the "P" stands for "Pilgrim."
