PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.

The fact that a Negro was brutally
tortured, burned, and the lifeleSS body
hacked and dismembered by the ruth
less hands of an infuriated mob out
in Illinois teaches us no new lesson.
1t is simply an additional instance of
the fact that whether in the North or
in the South, mans british instincts
need but an indication of an incentive
and they are given full play. 1t mat
tered not that the Negro had simply
shot without killing a white man. The
mob had not the excuse of "a life for
life, nor did they require it. The
red gorge of murderouS and inhuman
barbarity is not bounded by the Mason
and Dixon line.

A well-todo and well-matured widow OF

her from relating it, except to a most in

That friend told several others IN very

She had answered a matrimonial adver-
tisement, however, unbeknoWn to her

out in Minnesota, who had an almost ba.
ronial estate, few attractive children,

influences of the South His photograph

equally enticing. The Greensboro widow

whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-

off at the root; and cleans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the

tirely bald. In less than month Herpi-
