Mr.. Lon. Davis, a clerk at MI. J. r.
Parker's caught a negro boy stealing q
piece of meat from the store and with
some assistance overpoWered him. The
thief was tied and held for awhile but
instead of prosecuting him, which
would have entailed expense upon the
taxpayers of the county and State Mr..
Parker, with consent and approval of
the boys people, resorted to the good
old plan recommended by Solomon
and took redress out of the boys hide
at once with a stinging buggy whip
we'll laid on by a muscular colored man
who was selected for his ability to
WELD the whip with telling effect.
