Don't Shoot the Flag.

No matter where it flies, or upon
what occasion it's folds are flung to
the breeze, it ought to have immunity
from outrage and insult. He is but
little better than traitor, and is de-
serving of but little more at the hands
of liberty loving people, who, in
time of peace, because perchance OF
some petty political feeling, should
dare to shoot the flag, which whether
upon land or sea is the emblem of ref
uge to the oppressed in every CLINE,
of protection to the poor and destitute
in all the world, and of liberty of
thought and speech to every man
abiding under its shadow. lie who
should dare to do such dastardly,
coWardly act, ought to be denounced
by public opinion and held up to ever
lasting shame and disgrace. The mis-
creant who shot the flag which Mr..
Putnam has had hung out across the
street ever since the nomination of
Cleveland for president, because he
did not like the news of the election
returns, is worthy, at least of the Sc
verest condemnation of the whole
community. 1t was deed fit for the
darkness in which it was perpetrated.
| The day could not behold such a scene
| voiceless. 1t was at that hour when
all Williams and towards execute the
work, which, in the light of day, in

| There is no excuse for this insult and
injury in the intense feeling of party

ance at the loss of liberty; much less,
at the loss of manhood and true pat
riotism. This is the time to show the
! principles of our free government, let
| ting the honest voice of the people,
be to us as the voice of God. An
| archy, and disorder have no place in
our past history; we need them not as
tranouilizing elements for our future.

litical sentiment, might have place in

Packing a Jury.

In truely rural districts of Arkan
sas an old man was accused of stealing
a pig. 1t was clear case, but to the
establishment of everybody the jury
brought in verdict of not guilty, in
exact opposition to the evidence and
Judges charge. When the court ad.
journed the Judge approached the
counsel for the defense and remarked:
"Look here, my friend, | never heard
of such a verdict. l cannot, as an i'm
partial dissemination of justice, allow
SO fragrant anoutrage to be perpretrat-
ed on this community. That man is
as guilty as Judas, but If you will tell

Petit larceny is getting quite too
common for some of the residents in
the eastern part of the village. Rev.
Mr.. Rogers reports that thieves have
come and taken property at three diff
ferent times from his premises. The
last thing taken was saw-horse. The
loss is not so much in the worth of the
article, as the bile it engenders as
well as the inconvience to which it
puts the owner. In this case, Mr..
Rogers thinks he knows where some
of his property is and it will be well
for the Individual who has the saw
horse to bring it back with no further
notice than this. 1t is disgrace, that
in such quiet village as this, one
must put everything he has under lock
and key TO keep it from the hgnds of
the robber. Some one of these light
fingered ones ought to be made an ex-
ample of for the protection of society,
and the benefit of the gang.
