IN ToWN.-We had the pleasure Of
meeting Col X. X. Jones this week,
who is on a visit to his old home here
from his present residence at Quincy,
III. The Colonel, at one time, was
one of the most prominent business
men of Manitowoc, and yet holds very
valuable property in our village. AL
though owning the ''model farm" of
the whole state of Illinois, he is yet
considered by our citizens, Manitowoc
man, and is heartily greeted by all of
our people on his annual visits to our
town. Colonel Jones possesses the
same jovial, social, good hearted quail
ties that distinguished him in former
years

One of the most provoking things
arising in the experience of publish
er of local paper is the removal of a
subscriber without giving notice, being
in arrears at that time. Ordinary
courtesy would dictate that notice be
given even though payment was not
offered. A case of this kind occurred
this week among the Pilot subscribers,
one who played similar game on one
other occasion. The disposition is

 JORDAN ENTERTAIN

MT. and Mrs. c. H Jordan en- tertained a few of their friends at dinner Sunday evening. Gov CTS were laid for eight and the guests were ushered into the tastefully decorated dining room at six-thirty o'clock.
 So attractive was the arrange ment of the festal board, that it seemed more the handiwork of fairy hands of the Land of En- chantment than of prosiac mor- tals of the twentieth century.
 Under the soft glow of wax candles supported by silver can- delabra cut flowers nestled beside each plate in cunningly devised containers. while from above the center of the table tiny violet hued fancy baskets were filled with dainty sweets and each also contained hidden within a nut shell a pointed epigram or a gem of poetry. these. however, were not investigated until after the disposal of course after course, until seven were counted-of the choicest edibles prepared in the most approved style known to the art culinary. A full hour and many other things were consumed dur ing the delightful repast, until finally at signal from the host ess the ladies retired to the re- ception room to nibble after-din- her hints and to discuss the lat est fashions and other topics dear to the feminine heart, while the men were regaled with the fine aroma from weeds which were grown and ripened under Cuban skies, after which they joined the ladies whom they found deep ly engrossed in listening to a wierd tale of Indian lore which was at that moment being dra- matically related by our charm ing hostess, then each and all took a hand at storytelling until it was finally decided that Baron Munchaunsen was only an anna tuer as narrator. It is the writ CTS opinion that the unanimous verdict that all had had al delightful evening was probably the most sincere statement made during the evening.
 Those present were: MT. and Mrs. Jas. Scorse, MT. and Mrs. Lloyd c. Henning, and MT. and Mrs. w. B. Woods.

GOVERNOR HUNT
 MAY BE RECALLED

Jerome, April 28. Action look ing to the recall of Governor George w. P. Hunt will be taken tomorrow evening, when a mass meeting called by the leading democrats of northern Arizona, will be held here. The purpose of the meeting is to pass resolu- tions condemning the course pur- sued by Hunt relative to the con- doning of crime in the state dur ing his administration, and to take formal action looking to the circulation of petitions for a recall election at once.
 While leading democrats have taken the iniative in calling the meeting tomorrow night, the meeting will be nonpartisan in it's nature. Bitter feeling is gen eral in Yavapai over Hunts ac- ton in saving the lives of four murderers from this county, who were to have been hanged ten days ago.
