In Cases of This kind We Believe in a Lynching Bee.

Medaryville Advertiser ' - ‘ Miss Blanche Campbell teacher at the Mochel school in case township, Is very much distressed over “doings” at her school which transpired in the time between the of the school on Friday evening and their re-open-ing on Monday morning-probably Saturday or Sunday night. Some whiskey-befuddled or empty-headed mart Aleck* destroyed the pole* and baskets on the playgrounds, wedged empty whlkey bottles in the windows of the schoolhouse, killed and mutilated the schoolhouse cat, broke a spade handle and put the outhouses in a shameful condition. Miss Blanche loves her school work and the children put under her care and is trying to (io her whole duty- towards them and her employers, but such senseless, mean and shameful depredations are enough to discourage any teacher, and if trustee Capouch can get' a clew to the perpetrators, they will geta taste of law, which is very severe in such cases, and what is more they deserve to be handled without gloves.
