Three negroes we're hanged to a pole
by mob in Wickhffe, Ky, week be-
fore last under the charge Of having
killed another negro. That sort of pro-

rain Joe decided to come home and up
on arriving at the creek he saw that it
was up. So he waited for it to run
down some. When it got low enough
as Joe thought to cross, in he drove,
and when he reached the current of the
swollen stream it washed one of his
mules under the tongue Of the wagon
and would have drowned it had not
win Barber been present and assisted
Joe in rescuring the animal. BY the
assistance of Mr. Barber Joe came out
all right, but it is reported that his wife
looked very pale when she and Joe
reached the sunny banks of sweet deliv-
erance. If you don't be too careful,
you will get Matt drowned.
