Three Negroes Lynched for the Murder
Of H. c. Patton.

MCGEHEE, Sept. 22.-The parties
who foully murdered H. q. Patton OH
the night of the Goth inst, were
caught and confessed In detail at the
inquest today. The sheriff started to
jail with them when q mob of some.
thing over 300 men, both white and
black, overp0wered the Sheriff and
hung them on the ground where
Patton was murdered. Their bodies
were rlddled with bullets. Their

The murder of Patton was unprovoked
and premeditated. The lynching

G ,nviction Of the three leaders of the
mob. He denounces the lynchings Us

Tho Home Paper.


An exchange says: When You
get married to the brightest and
best girl in the country, where
did you look for that notice that
meant SO much to you and SO little
to nearly everybody elsef" To
your home paper.
When your home WAS invaded
by the blue eyed girl, or the
bouncing baby boy, to whom did
you make it your business to
convey early information as to
the sex, the time and weight To
the editor of that home paper.
In after years when some manly
young fellow takes the blue eyed
girl to home of his own, or your
bouncing boy-now man-is
given a partnership in the store
becaase he has just brought home
some body else's daughter and
set up an establishment of his
own, to whom do you personally
exhibit the wedding presents and
load up with the BRIDES cake, and
to. whom do you look for that
complete description of the
interesting event, down to the
last pickle fork and individual
salt, which once more means SO
much to you and very few
others, and SO little to everybody
elsei To this came editor of that
same home paper.
And when trouble comes In the
home and you add to your
possessions that des0late bit of
reality, the lot in the cemetery,
and somehow the sun doesn't
seem to shine just as it used to,
and there's the tlutter Of Grape at
the door and the odor of the tube
rose in the front parlor, and the
chair that has for years been
beside yours at the fireside and
opposite you at the table is vacant

makes it his business to write in

and whose sympathy rnd good
deeds to others have long been

publicly announcedi The editor
Of the paper; and he's only too
willing to do the little that he can
to help you over the hard spot in
the road.
And all these years you've
advertised in this home paper, and
done what you could to help the
editor fight your battles in
municipal and county matters,

worked to build up the town and

Fruit Points.
ok in rruii Growers Journal.

W. Cook in Fruit Growers Journal.
Let me say a few words to
those who have peach trees and
will have no peaches ON them.
This is the time to cut all peach
trees back. Cut young trees
back one-half, and old trees cut
back to the lowest fork, but leave
the forhe from one to two feet
long. Peach wood, like grape
wood, never bears fruit but once.
So, if you have fruit, you must
have new wood for it to grow on.
This is q good year to cut peach
trees back; and don't be afraid of
cutting too much.
Another thing, let me say:
Look over your pear trees as they
commence to put out buds, and
rut out all limbs that show blight
and mind this, to cut Is to 20
inches in the sound wood below
the dead bark. Be careful about
this. If you only just cut out the
dead wood, before the summer is
half gone you will find your trees
just about in as bad fix as if you
had not cut any. Have a heap of
courage and q sharp saw and You
may save valuable trees to bear
crops of fruit for number of
years. know what am writing
about, for l have been all along
this line for over 20 years. Now,
1 will say this: the Bartlett is a
variety that will blight and still
live and bear fruit, maybe for
some years, bu: it is the only one
that l know OF, and it will help
