There are times when criminals
'oemingly deserve sympathy, but
there are from tifno to time certain
nnpsincipled acts committed here by
aeartless wretches who should be sat
down on" by the proper authorities.
Only few nights since, a telephone
wire, the property OF v. G. Ramsey,
was torn from tho insulator and rem
Tered useless for the time; few nights
after, q Windmill belonging to Sam
Shockley. was taken from the Signal
Service Station. 1t was both rseful
and ornamental, and many OF our citi-
zens. as well as Mr.. Shockley desired
that 1t should remain where it was
placed by Mr.. Shocklev. 1t will be re-
membered by some, that the glass front
OF the bank and other places, were APP
parentiy thought to be public targets
by some of the 'wonld-b be- holy-terrors,a
and the glass was accordingly broken
soon after being placed in the build
ings. Still further back, our Council
supplied lamps for every corner of the
Square, at considerable expense. and
before the first barrel OF oil had been
consumed, not enough OF the lamps
were left to tell the tale. While thes q
and other things are small, it shows
the presence Of an element that is
disgraceful and rather expensive. and
must be rid of before there will be
much desire on the part of the law
abiding citizens for any public or pri-
vate enterprise. These deeds ar all
committed when honest men are at
home, enjoying that well deserved re-
pose which honest work and a clear
conscience can bring, and which never
comes to the miscreant5 who do such
deeds of'bravery(P) as the above.

The luka Normal is adding to its

deserves the patronage. Prof. Dean and
his able corps of assistants are add ng

many dollars TO Iuka, that would go
