Give Us Daylight Dealings.

A lot of men and boys went out
into the negro quarters east OF the
Colfax depot Monday and Tuesday
nights of this week, and did a lot OF
prOmiscuOus shooting, and we under
stand whipped two or three OF the
disreputable negro men and women
freuuenters of the dens out that way.
1t is very probable that they needed
whipping, but we see no need for re-
sponsible persons to take night for
such work. The people ofCOlfax will
stand by all proper methods to cor
rect evils In the town. but we do not
want the Introduction here OF the
cvwardly midnight methods that
have disgraced the eastern portion of
Grant parish. and led to murder and
robbery 80 frequently that 1t has be
come a reprOach and a shame to that
section. These raids in the dark give
vicious and irresponsible boys and
staggering blackguari bullies too
much chance to vent their spleen and
malice, and lead to all sorts OF out
rageOus excuses. II there Is any &c.
CASTOR to enforce the decencies and
prophecies of life. let 1t be done open.
ly and above board, and let us have
no more f-these midnight forrays
Colfax has the record Of twenty-five
years of peace and law-abiding, and
all such acts are to I've frOwned upon
by respectable people. We under
stand that a negro man was shot II
the foot the other night, and the pos
sibility is that some one will have tt
answer for malicious shooting ant
wounding.

Dear sir: Thomas j. BannOn, drug

Westerly painters expect n gallon

Devoe covers 25; there Is no such
