LYNCHuyG IN EXTRA
Ia Negro Hanging To A. Telephone
Pole Met The Gaze Of Many,
Thursday morning

Wednesday night will long be re-
membered in Extra; for the rays of
the rising sun Thursday morning
eclipsed some of the business houses
by the form of negro hanging to a
telephone wire until he was dead.
Surely they did it we'll and the ma
jesty of the law-lynch law-was car
ried out to perfection for beside the
pole, where the body swung twenty
feet from the ground, one of its legs,
which had evidently been torn from
the body in the death struggle, was
thrown to the ground, at the base OF
the post, the shoe being still attached
and the sock rolled down. The alb
sence of blood caused some to think it
was bloodless affair, while others
not having heard any unusual COM
motion, although lynching was GO
ing on, thought it done by profession
ale, still others thought the color OF
the negro's blood had been turned by
fright. A piece of Grape nailed to a
business house near by expressed the
only sympathy discernible.
Later-It was found to be cigar
sign mutilated beyond recognition
but swung in the air to show the
smouldering temper of the operators.

Florist Tells Of Few Things He Has
Learned in His Business of
Handling Flowers.

The florist frowned as he took up
an order for a table decoration. "That
will never do" he muttered. After
calling up the customer and suggest
ing change, he told his new clerk a
few things
"You must never take an order that
calls for mixture of mignonette and
roses" he said "a centerpiece of
those two flowers wouldn't last half
through the luncheon. They simply
wilt one another. / don't know why,
but they can't get along together.
"It is true of many flowers. Pansies,
for instance, last twice as long as if
they are not combined with any other
flower, and the same may be said of
other hand, seem to get a new lease
of life if you combine considerable
green with them. Carnations will go
all to pieces if you combine them
with roses, although the roses do not
seem to be affected.
'It is more striking in combinations
of green with flowers. If you try
| to use an entirely different type OF
foliage from what the flower is used
to, it won't last so long. So never
put feathery foliage with lilies of the
valley, for you know its natural foil
age is thick leaf I never use thick
leaves with carnations, for their foil
age is of the feathery type. 1t isn't as
though the flowers fought, but they
seem to grieye at being misunder
