Threatned Lynch-law in Pulaski County.

For some yeers a notorious fellow by the name of Joy, has made it a point every time iie comes co town to get drunk and raise a fjw in our streets by fighting. On VVednesnay last be was here again and put in the whole afternoon in trying to engage some one in a fisticuff, he finally succeeded, and got what he richly deserved, a sound thrashing. The matter should not end here, this fellow should be arres’ed and made t feel the punishment provided by the law. If Joy was arrested and sent to jail a few times it would be doing a good service to him as well as this community. The time has come, when, if the officers of the law stand by and see this overgrown ruffian run over peaceable citizens, they need not be surprised to see the case before Judge Lynch. The citizens are resolved to stop him, if the officers will not.— Pulaski Democrat.
