Hugh Henry, a iiegro, of Larned, Kansas, who a week ago entered the room of Miss Mabel Welch, of the same city, and assaulted her, was taken from the jail by a mob and hanged to a telegraph pole. The negroes of the place are swearing vengeance against Henry's captors and also others supposed have been leaders of the mob. While we do not uphold lynch law, and believe it is best to let the law handle criminals, this wretch got even less than he deserved, and it is getting very tiresome to hear of a lot of niggers organizing vigilance committees to avenge what they may term murders of fiends belonging to their race.

It is to be hoped that every colored Individ ual who attempts harm in this case will be treated to a liberal supply of cold lead, and if the white citizens need any help, it will not be found wanting, The following item from the Leban on Criterion should have appeared last week but was over looked: "Take care of your dogs! Dan Henson informed us that travelers killed a horse, at the old Lebanon crossing of Oak creek, while in a spasm, it having been bitten July, 14, by a dog supposed to have been mad. The dead animal was allowed to remain unburied and has been partially eaten by dogs, which some claim, will cause the spread of hydro phobia. To make everything sure, kill or tie up your dogs until all danger is passed."

He recently returned from a Nebraska visit, where he attended the state fair, and says, that while the show of fine stock was grand, the production of the ground would nowhere compare with that of our own fair land. Lebanon Criterion.

One of the most pleasant past times imaginable is a social game of croquet all of which can be enjoyed at the new ground3 just back of bank as soon as the boys get time to use elbow grease and fiuish up the yard. J. D. Coyner has furnished everything, the croquet set and ground, and says his part is finished, and we think it is. Reeves was offered $2,500 cash for his farm several miles north of town.
