Dear Editor:--Our place for the last
week has appeared more business like
than for some time past; and of course
our business men wear pleasant oounte-
nances. Hope it will continue so. Our
community was greatly shocked by the
enormous crime perpetratrated a few
days ago in Plymouth, and all hope that
Wheeler and his tool" Vinall, will be
speedily brought to justice We are glad
we have one paper in Marshall county
that comes out fearlessly and deuounces
crime, regardless or wealth, position and
power. All the better class of our ciii-
zens applaud the course of the REpuDLI-
CAN, although we have heard several re,
marks TO the effect that you are agitating
the matter for the purpose of creating
mob. All we have to say is, that if the
law does not take the case in hand, let IL
DC mob! We have just heard that
Wheeler has been admitted TO ball in the
sum OF $4,000. 1t looks like bringing
the money into the court instead of the
man; and il man of wheeler's wealth
does not want to come iuto court, the
above sum will not bring him.

teller and his reporter. because her for
tune was not revealed to exactly suit her.
