TheIArabia Dipping Co. that
has been recently organized with
, C. McNare and A. W. Peterson
it the head , has been doing a rush
ing business during the last fort
night. Cattle are being dipped on
; he wholesale plan , nearly 1100
3eing dipped in one day. The clip
ping vat has proved quite an at-
; raction and at the noon hour the
cene is one of festivity with the
workers , their friends and fami
lies ; eating picnic dinners under
the shade of a canvas tent tent.
The company expects to suspend
operations this week.
The charivari hoodlum crowds
also infect other towns and make
the night hideous upon the occur
rence of a wedding in the town or
whether it occurs elsewhere and
the couple come to town.
Last .week. there were two wed
dings one evening and during the
progress of Quincy LeeMorrow's
lecture at the M. E. church the
sounds of the hoodlums came to
the church , diverting the attention
from the lecture. There are a lot
of fellows who go to each charivari
as though they were a licensed
mob to hold up newly1 married
couples. At Ham McCrea's place
last week , three weather boards of
his house were split by the batter
ing or kicking. Tin cans are used
as missiles , fire crackers , shot guns ,
pistols and anything else that will
make a hideous or grating noise
are used in great glee by the hood
lums , and , the city marshall tries
to keep as far from the scene as
possible so as to give the boys
free passport to go to extremes , if
a mild storm and general fusilade
fails to bring the victims out to
pay for a keg of beer and a box of
cigars. Often severe means are re
sorted to and a promise of the boys
to keep it up all night if their vic
tim refuses to "dig up. " And
this is civilized America ! Is there
no redress for these piratical par
ties and will our married men who
have passed that part of life that
endangers them to like sufferings' ,
lift no voice or hand to put a stop
to such barbarous customs ? JWill
our preachers continue to civilize
India , Turkey and China and turn
deaf ear to their HOME AXD NA
TIVE LAND ? Eiotous mobs who
congregate for the prevention of
legal ( and honest labor are not
worse than these younger bands of
pirates who demand tribute from
those who from an ancient custom
were made to "dig up" or treat
as a new clerk , a new school teach
er , a newly married couple or as
new member of some society or
secret order. The courts have de-
dided that these riotous mobs are
law-breakers. The officers of our
country are keeping and encourag
ing a new force of young rioters
by permitting these charivaris and
and the Hollow E'en depredations.
Why not law and order , instead
wild recklessness , disorder and
I
destruction of property ?
