. . . there is a man in that county who boasts that he “had the honor
of drawing a sight on Union men at the battle of Lexington, and fighting
against the Union forces.” If that man
Mr. Herald, is guilty of the act of which he boasts, why, hang him! The loyal soil of
Page county should not be polluted by the living presence of any such a wretch.
– Hang him! Hang him effectually! Hang him until he hauls off into some grave yard
for repairs!
