In Our Opinion

Most of the anonymous letters andnotices which art brine received In

this part of the county are writtenby some individuals who have somegrudge at the party warned and areRidersuSuch as warning the negroes toleave according to our way of think ¬

lag IIs all tommyrot and there iislittle or no danger of such threatsbeing put into execution The con ¬

servative lawAbiding citisens will1

not tolerate it The man who postssuch notices is laying the foundatiof future trouble for himself aJMI

will And to his sorrow that the lawisI vory merciless when once he isI

within its tolls Graves and Callsway counties arc making it very unpleasant for those who participatedin the business in those counties andour advice to the bogus night ride rof Pulls county it to quit while

you can and before it is too llate
