India, Te,, Sept. 9.--Qur people
are all getting down to business
in earnest picking cotton and
pulling corn.
Had a very light shower of rain
on Wednesday eve, just barely
enough to stop cotton picking, but
ooks like it might rain again soon.
Some of our colored people have
been dealing infnob law it seems.
Constable Busby and a deputy
ame down the other day and got
5 of them and took them to Ferris
o stand trial. One of the mob
,ot away. Have not learned yet
whether they got him or not.
'hey took Monroe Williams out
sunday night and hung him up
ay the neck 6 times and let him
.own. Then hung him up again
nd give him a whipping with
ickorys. Could not learn the
ull .particulars.
Harry McKay went to Dallas on
monday for a load of freight forsome of our merchants.
T. W. Meadows was in Dallas
Tuesday on business.
Ruesell Hurley went to Dallas
yesterday.
