not that we know anything about it
— but we never before knew of their
publicly requesting anything of the
kind, ft hi not leap year, either !
And one of the young men is mar¬
ried ! We do hot blame the young
ladies, for we.are confident that the
young men of Lavonia have not been
availing themselves of a heaven-boni
privilege, and therefore deserve se¬
vere censure. Toccoa has a number
of young meVi who do not neglect a
duty of this kind. A ward to the

^osTfire”
Another house i . uccoa was co:i-
.'limed l»y fin on Sunday night. It
was a small building owned by Mr.
Tom Ruinsey and occupied by Onie
Thornton, a colored woman.
Tim fire was Jiscoverd shortly after
12 o’clock by Mar shal Brice. The
house was on the western edge of
town, and by the* time the •ViaLha!
reached it, it was impossible to
cheek the fire, which consumed the
building-, with all its contents. Ouie
was spending the night with a neigh¬
bor' and so saved nothing.
The house of Mr. Bart Gilbert,
which , by, ti h r
was near was in great
danger, but after waking t lie oc-
entrants, who were sleeping soundly
despite the nearness of the fire, Mar-
shal Price, with the assistance of
several others who had come up,
succeeded in savi..g it. It took
hard, hot work to do this.
It looks as if the burning of this
house were the work ot ati incendiary

Mr. William Tittle went to
v ille yesterday. Now, tftcre to nothing
worthy^of note in the bare state-
cne-^t tWt the above mentioned
gentleman of euphonious ntyno vis*
tied Habersham’s county seat, but
there is something unusual in the
manner of his journey. He wore
upon one wrist a rna^styo bracelet of
steel, in the other end of wlnnh was
snugly fitted the left wrist of Gordon
Gray, and Deputy Sheriff Kellar
went along with the two men, to
hear them company, and for other
purposes. Wo learn that Tittle and
t
Gray have decide! to •''main in
Clarkesville awhile, having quartered
themselves at the Hotel de Fuller.
It was suspected that someone had
aided Gray and the Smith hoy tc
escape from the calaboose, as the
staple that held the lock had been
furred. Marshal Gribble, with the
assistance of Deputy Sheriff Kellar,
worked up the case and arrested Mr .
William Tittle, who lives a mile or
two from town.
lie was given a preliminary trial
Tue-day before E. L. Goode, N. 1*.
The“lwo prisoners who hal been lib¬
erated & l .id two or three other wit
nesses swore thatjTittle had broken
open die jail. Tittle's bind $ as
fixed at $ 100 , but he was unable to
make it.
“Twillam.”
Some tim’e ago, at a sale of un-
claimed freight, Mr. R, Green, of
this place, purchased a satchel.
Among other ih.ngs it contraned
two peculiar looking contrivances
made of leather; They were , just
alike in appearance, and each c in¬
sisted of a flat piece of thick leather
three inches long and two inches vide,
upon the middle of winch was fasten¬
ed what appeared to be a little
leathern . ... box about an mob • , ami i
half square. To this were attached
straps, which looked as if they had
been worn.
After some trouble Mr. Green suc-
eroded in tearing open the box
sufficiently to see that it had com-
put tments. Each of these contained
a piece of parchment tied with long,
gray hairs, an 1 upon which were in*
cribcd Hebrew characters, Not one
of our citizens who saw these pecu¬
liar looking things could imagine tor
wliut purpose they were intended.
Through curiosity Rev. E. A Keese
took i.hc»e thing3 with him to At-
rceen ly. He showed them to
somc Jews, who recogniz'd them at
once and explain? 1 their use. 'lhey
are called “twiV.am,*’ they said and
the words on the parchment are the
ten commandments. In Russia and

Lodged In Jail*
Gordon Gray, the young man who
was arrested two or three weeks ago
and made his escape at the same time
the Smith girlsdid, has been figuring
con spicuously in police circles several
days this tteek.
After making his escape Gray
did not go far, and several times was
seen skulking about the outskirts of
the town. Deputy Sheriff Y Kellar
suspec ted that Gray was selling whis-
key, and set a trap to catch him.
On Sunday SrtCrnoon he saw Graj-
in the act of selling whiskey to a ne-
gro, near the cemetery, and
him. He also brought along Bud
a b(> ^ of 12 or 13, who was
with Gray. The “blind tiger” outfit
WiiS C:l ptured, too. 11 consisted of a
jug, in a bag, containing about three
quarts of mountain dew, and an oil
