Some ONE is stringing roofing nails on the road to Thayer, Ind., and Roselawn, Ind. This practice has been prevalent every year about this time, and the guilty party should be apprehended and punished severely.

This does not look well for a good live place like we have here, and no pleasure derived from this—we lack words to express our contempt for such low down rascals.
