TO THE VOTERS OF HABERSHAM COUNTY: A 11 election lias been ordered in the county for the removal of tho county site from Clarkesville to Toccoa City oii Aug. ihth, 1 H’.*7, upon a petition .signed" by two-iifths of tln> poll lax payers of the county in accord- anc o with Mm statuto made and provided for such eases. I.et us see what brought about this state of affairs in our county: Our county com- missioners thought a new courthouse was a necessity, not withstanding tho hard times, and so declared clearly against the wishes (>f (he people. Next a bond issue was to be submitted to the people, that they might say whether they would pay a direct tax or on interest-bearing bonds, either way you voted the court house must tie built. You could bavo as:,, as to how it shall bo paid, but nothing more. Now, 111 the face of these fuels, Toccoa City comes Indore the people of the eountv with a clear ami clean cut proposition in this election. That proposi- tion is: That Toccoa will furnish a court house and jail for Habersham county in Toccoa City, free from any expense to the tax payers of Habersham county without the limits of Toccoa City, should the result of the election be in favor of Toccoa City— Towns County C ou A V * 2 .

This makes the issue for removal or against removal. Each man can settle this question for himself. When you analyze this question you will find that it is a question of dollars and cents with you, besides convenience and less taxes to the voters of tho county. You can pay your tax for tho court house or let Toccoa City furnish it just as you like, Vote for Toccoa, and you pay no house taxes.

HAS CLEAR EVIDENCE AS TO THREE Five Hundred Dollars Each for the First Two Convicted; SlOO for Each Addi¬ tional Conviction Secured. The governor of Georgia has offered a reward for the Ryder lynchers and j the names of the most of them are in his possession. He has clear evidence as to three, and it is likely that evi- ! <leuce a, to the others .ill develop on the trial. The governor offers rewards as follows: Five hundred dollars for the first two lynchers of Dr. Ryder arrested and convicted. One hundred dollars for each sub¬ sequent lyncher of Dr. Ryder arrested and convicted. Two hundred and fifty dollars for each person arrested and convicted of < ! felonious conduct in preventing the arrest or detection of parties guilty of I this crime This action was taken without hesi- tation, after an hour’s hearing with Dr. C.

Ihe 12 men who for six days had patiently struggled with all the facts of this remarkable case, filed into the room. “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?” asked his honor. “We have,” said the foreman. Solicitor Ivimsey took the paper on which was written the prisoner’s fate and read in clear tones: “We, the jury find the defendant guilty.” “I ask that the jury be polled,” said Colonel Glenn. The judge called the name of each juror and asked: * ‘Is that your verdict? Do you agree to it?” Every man re¬ sponded promptly, “yes.” During this time Flanagan sat with downcast eyes as if meditating the fate that was in store for him. Mr. Flanagan, stand up!” said Judge Candler. The man slowly rose, and sentence was pronounced as follows: “It is ordered by the court that the defendant, Edward C. Flanagan, be taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of DeKalb county and be there safely and securely kept until 1897, Wednesday, the 25th day of August, when, between the hours of 11 o’clock a. m. and 1 o’clock p. m., he shall be taken from there by the sheriff of DeKalb county and in private in tbe jail yard of DeKalb county, be hung by the neck until he is dead,and may God have mercy on his soul. ” “It is further ordered that in the execution of the sentence said sheriff have such guard as in his discretion is necessary, and that he procure the at¬ tendance of two physicians to ascer¬ tain when life is extinct. “It is further ordered that the de¬ fendant be allowed at the time of the execution of this sentence to have as many as two ^ministers of the gospel present, and such of his immediate family as he may desire, to be limited by the discretion of the sheriff.” After sentence had been passed the judge discharged the jury, after thank¬ ing them for their attendance and good deportment. INSURGENTS CAPTURE A TOWN. They Got 940,000 In Gold, Besides a lilg Eot of Supplies. The story telegraphed from Havana last about an attack by insurgents on Mariano, a suburban town, is fully confirmed by passengers who left Ha¬ vana on the Plant line steamer Mas- cotte Saturday noon and arrived at Tampa, Fla., Saturday night. The engagement was short and des¬ perate. Forty-nine Spaniards were killed and 120 wounded; two Cubans were killed and twenty wounded. The inhabitants of the town fled for their lives, leaving the insurgents in complete possession. They sacked the place and secured $40,000 in gold besides a lot of supplies that they could carry away. Twelve mill »•"»™».. workers while crossing a bridge at Thiemendorf, near Chem- nitz, Germany were swept off the bridge by a sudden rise of the river. All were drowed.
