We have had several farmers como
among us since the war, and whe II they

they have advised and learned our

LIGHT-HEARTED AND MERRY,
Eight Negroes Who Don't Seem to Mind the
Fact They Are to Be Hanged This Week.

CHEsTERToN, Nd. Jan. Eight negroes
ranging in color from light tan to dead
black, are confined in the county Jail here.
They are to be hanged. next Friday. for the
murder of DR.. J. II. Hill. Nevertheless, q
jollier aggregation of Hams descendants
than they arc would be difficult to find.
The fact that In less than one week. Prov
Idence or the Governor not interfering,
they are to be dropped into eternity does
not seem 10 disturb them. They shout. and
sing. and laugh. and joke about the coming
event as though 10 were 'possum dinner"
Some of them show slight signs of depres-
sion at odd intervals. but the majority
rather seem To feel proud that they are to
take part in notable performance.
Fletcher Williams and Buck Brooks
sulk at times. but the others are always in
good humor. Williams and Brooks are
more directly concerned In the murder
than their companions. for il was the knife
thrust by tho former ana the cruel blow
with a stone by the other. that caused the
physician's death. The others. aided and
abetted. The condemned men make merry
just AS they sang aud danced and ''patted
Juba' on the bridge that dark night in
April when they committed the murder.
