William GOLIGHTLY, an industrious colored man, living on the western side of town had a fine squirrel skin nailed up on the end of his house. Meeting a strange colored brother in the road with a squirrel skin in his hand, William did not feel easy, but hastened home and found that his future supply of shoe strings had been stolen. He followed the stranger in hot haste and overtaking him the fellow owned up and seemed quite penitent. William made his mind up to go into the tanning business at once and cut two old-fashioned withes* and gave the thief a sound thrashing. They parted friends, the thief glad that he had escaped jail, and GOLIGHTLY rejoicing in the possession of his hide. *{ n. pl. with·ies -A rope or band made of withes.
