COMPLAINTS still pour in that the
| PILOT does not reach many offices in the
county until one week, and sometimes
more, after the date of publication.
Since March 1st the PILOT has been
mailed every Thursday evening to every
person who gets it through the postoffi-
| ces. Some of our Cooperstown sub
scribers inform US that the Pilot is
sometimes delayed 10 days and very fire.
quently it never reaches them. A sub
scriber in Stockbridge Calumet county
| tells us that the Pilot is feeble with age
before it reaches him, sometimes taking
two weeks to make that comparatively
short trip. We assure our correspon-
| dents that the neglect which causes those
Irregularities is not ours. A correspon-
| dent of the Pilot from Two Rivers, mails
communication on Thursday morning.
| Generally it has a round trip ticket to
Milwaukee and arrives in Manitowoc by
the evening express. Letters and papers
from Appleton are made to contradict the
axiom that straight line is the shortest
distance between two points and fire.
quently "take in" Milwaukee while on
their way to this city.
PICNiC AT MAPLE GRovE.-The Catho.
lie Church of Maple Grove are making
arrangements for picnic to be held in
the Grove of Thomas Doody, Esq, on
the 4th of July next The committee of
arrangements are Thomas Doody, B. S.
Lorrigan, James Kirby and Michael
Doolan. They purpose having an inter-
esting and varied programme for the oc-
casion, and will spare no pains to make
the picnic an enjoyable affair. The
Grove is centrally located and the COM
mittee are working industriously to make
| the entertainment a success. The pro-
ceeds will be for the benefit of the church.
We shall publish the entire programme
| when it is prepared.
If there is anything which soothes
your temper and puts you in christian
| frame of mind, it is to sit near man who
emphasizes all the good points in con-
versation or in play by poking you in
the ribs with his elbow. Well, it is a
bore in two senses, and you almost feel
at times that it does let light in. We
always like to get near such people at
| theater, that is behind them, and study
the face of the person adjacent to the
active elbow. 1t is amusing-for the
one who looks on. We were one of the
| principals in this little elbow familiarity
last Monday night and have felt ever
since as if we were run through a thresh-
ing machine.
