Who will join me April 9th. in
a tree planting along the walk to the
cemetery? 1t is a common cause
and should commend itself to all.
Whilst we are seeking to beautify
and improve our city, let US not be
forgetful of this way SO often trod-
den. To the many who have to
walk, it will prove a grateful
shade and form a lovely pathway
to the city of our dead. The plan
is, for each person to plant one or
more trees of good size, and box
them. Respectfully,

THE people of Laddonia and
especially the Herald of that vii

for the time and money expended.
The people of Laddonia are among

hospitable, and we are sure there

Mr.. j. F. LLEwELLYS, of the
Salamander Fire and Clay Com
pany, of this city, is very enthusI-
astic over the idea of using brick
instead of rock on our streets, and
is of the opinion that the brick can
be made and put down as cheap as
the macadam. He thinks the move
made by the Council last night in
sending a committee to other towns
to investigate, a good one, as Mex
leo will then have the benefit OF
others experience and it will be no
experiment. We think this com.
.nittee should act at once and be
able to report at the nsxt meeting
eff the Council, as work on the
streets should be pushed with all
possible speed.

It's appearance here and all good
citizens are justly Indignant. There

Women and children cannot be in

merous warnings have been sent

Mr.. Adam Rodemyre, editor of
the Guard, had a thrilling expert
ence on Friday night with these
providers, and his nerves are still
rather shaky. The Guard Office
stairway is on the outside OF the
building in a narrow alley way, and
on Friday night. while Mr.. Rode
myre was alone in his Office up to a
late hour arranging his mailing
list, he heard some one in the alley
towards the rear of the building,
and supposing it to be boys up to
some mischief, he went down stairs
and started up the alley to inves-
tigate. He had not gone far when
he was brought up suddenly by a
sharp command, followed by the
click of revolvers. 1t was dark in
the alley, and coming from a light
ed room, Mr.. Rodemyre could not
see very distinctly, and after halt
ing he inquired:
WHAT'S up; what are you fell
lows doing here?"
The answers came short and
curt: "It's non of your business;
stand back if you know what is good
for you"
Mr.. Rodemyre took two more
steps forward, when he found him.
self brought up suddenly by the or
der:
"Stop, don't dare to come anoth-
er step, or you will be hurt!
Having now become more aceus-
toned to the darkness, Mr.. Rode
myre saw before him three masked
men, with white caps or white
cloths tied over their hats. That
settled his investigation in that di-
rection, and before he could be
stopped he abruptly took his de-
parture on a run and struck a bee
line down the street. Meeting
City Marshal Bowman, he Inform
ed him of what he had seen, but
upon investigation the men had
disappeared. Several other per-
sons saw the same masked men,
and during the night several shots
were fired, but no violence has
been reported. One of the men
who is reported whipped is pre-.
pairing to leave town.
The citizens have submitted to
this nonsense long enough, and a
vigilance committee of determined
men has been organized and will
patrol the town and wipe out this
White Capism by vigorous meas
ures. Suspicion points to an indi
vidual who under the plea Of sup
pressing crime would in
stitute a system of unlawful perse'
cution and establish a reign O
terror.
