COLVuLE SKETOH1S,

I'VE have received from Lieutenant
Foltz, of the 1st Z. S. cavalry stationed
at Fort Colville. known to our readers
as Fred" from the extracts We have
published from his private correspondence
with his family here, the subjoined felici-
tous sketches Of Indian and Chinese char
acter as observed by him there. The
Chinaman, of whose illness and death he
writes, was his cook and servant, while
the Indian referred to came very near
being lynched for his crime, being saved
only by the apprehension of the people Of
the country that the military forces would
aid the civil authorities in protecting him.
It appears that such application was made
to the Fort Colville commandant by the
civil authorities, who alleged their in
ability to preserve their prisoner from tho
citizens determined to lynch him. But as
the law requires the order of the president
to be obtained before military aid is rem
dered, and as that would have taken q
week to obtain by telegraph and messen-
ger, it would have come too late in this
instance. Still the people did not know
of this hitch and therefore they feared 10
act. The prisoner was, however, taken to
the guard-house at Colville, the military
being at liberty to take charge of him,
without presidential authority, after he
was delivered over to them by the officers
of the law.]

End of Volume Three.

This number closes another sue
resslul volume OF the South Hea-
tuckidn, aud we wish to say word
or two to our patrons.
We have worked hard in our efforts
TO make the South Il eRturkidn a
model county paper, and we want to
return our sincere thanks 10 those
who have given us their patronage.
Spite of increased competition. the
South Keatuckidn has enjoyed a
prosperous year, and we stand ready,
at the beginning Of new year, to
promise still better paper in the flu
turc. A few months since we adop,-
cd the cash system. We have found
il to DO the best for both publishers
and subscribers. In the future we
will send the paper TO none but paid
up subscribers. AZ fat MS unpaid
subscriptions expire tie paper will be
stopped and steps taken for the col.
lection If TIE amounts due. Our
81 80 rate apphes to only those who
pay cash in advance. Subscriptions
beginning prior to Oct. Is. 1881, and
which arc sill unpaid, do not come
under this head and must be pnid Al
old rates-$2,00a year.
Aud now word about the future.
We iball continue TO keep up 10 their
present standard all Of the
departments of lhe South Kentnck-
in, editorial, local, State news, Gen.
eral ncws, correspondence, exchange
sciniilla,ions, council proceedings,
police reports, marriage reports,
market reports, tobacco news and
miscellaneous selections in prose and
poetry.
Tie S1aM Eentuckian will be
Democratic u tie backbone. aud in
the county campaign of the coming
year will do what il can 10 uphold
the principles Of Democracy.
In matters where party principles
are involved the South RenMckian
will always he found defending its
honest convictions, but in matters OF
local or dictionary interest il will
consider that It is its prerogativc TO
refrain from cspousing the cause OF a
faction. II shall be the organ of u
party and not of corporations or mo-
nopilies, .y
In conclusion sO RcsHits to return
our thanks to tue public for its gen
crous patronage The SoaM Hen-
tackidH is here TO stay, and We ask
the continued patronage OF all who
are willing to pay for the paper. All
subscriptions expiring with lhia year

We trust all may renew aud that
