young man in this civilized country to
stick an old pistol in his pocket and
start out over the country, terrorizing
the civil. law-abiding and reace-lov-
ing citizens; said be had not been at
taching the Jail part to the guilty
ones, but from now on he was going
to deal out the full measure of the
law. We say hurrah for Judge Lynch.
If the youth Of our country will not
listen to and take the righteous ad
monitiOns OF their fathers and moth
ers, and cease to do evil and try to do
right, let the law have its full force
and effect. These violations must be
stopped.
