Description
A Good Job - - Saturday night a committee at Liberty whipped a negro and escorted him out of town. A week before the negro had been whipped and ordered to leave town he went away but returned to receive his second dose.
He is not apt to be seen in Liberty soon. He was a thief and the people of Liberty wanted his absence noted. We are willing to wager a small sum that this same nigger is now in Platte City where he will find more congenial surroundings than at Liberty.
There are 85 lazy ornery negroes in Platte City who need the same treatment.Date(s) of Creation
