The lynching of the man Wilson
two weeks ago, by Virginians, for steal
ing a mule, has been m~isrepresented
and to the detriment of some of our
good citizens of Stokes. 1t has been
alleged that citizens of Stokes in disguise
followed the Virginia officers who had
charge of the prisoner and seized and
hanged him. The fact is, as we learn
on good authority, the lynchers were
Virginians, and seven of the number
have beer or are now in Patrick county
Jail. We also learn that the civil authori-
ties of that county are determined to
enforce the laws against them. The
good people of Stokes should demand
the most thorough investigation of the
whole matter, in order that they be vim
Dictated against this charge of high
handed lawlessness and hat the guilty
should be punished. If need be, the
power of our State laws, under the au-
thority of our Governor. should be in
vOked.
SHALL WE HAVE A FA1R?-Under the
auspices of a few public-spirited gentle
men of our community, who assumed
the responsibility and who did it at their
W expense, the "Wheat and Cattle
Fair" was i~naugurated, and without eX-
ception they were highly successful and
creditable. They demonstrated how
easily a Fair can be made successful at
this point. And we think it needless to
go into any argument to show that Win-
sion should hare an 4nnudI Fair, represent
ing at least the products of industry en-
braced in the territory which is tributary
to our city. Nor is it necessary, we take
1t, to argue that all the business men, OF
whatever vocation, within the limits OF
our Twin-Cities, should take a lively and
liberal interest in a matter of such inn
portance to them. 1t should not devOlve
on a fear, but all should come to The
work. Forsyth made a splendid exhibit
at the State Fair in 1888, which attracted
marked attention, and covered herself
with the glorious distinction of bearing
off first honor at the State Exposition in
