The new factory will he ready for ope
ration aboul September I, and will be
equipped with the latest Improved ma
chinery and appliances throughout,
( 'ontracts have been made for much of
the work. It will be erected and man
aged by a well known ax manufacturer
of this county with year- of experience
in the business mid it will beau indi

Pilgrim s. Kiiui.
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."
