Thomas, of that place, had become insane, and for him to come up and hold a commitment trial. Owing to Judge Webb’s ill ness he could not go, but inasmuch as the asylum authorities refuse to receive patients from a county in flicted with smallpox, Mr. Thom as cculd not bo received at the sanitarium until the disease is stamped outat Buford.

Frank Monroe, who claimed to be a discharged soldier from the regular army, and also a de tective from the secret service, has taken his flight from Lawrence ville, without his new made aud trusting friends good bye. By his sauve and oily tongue he had succeeded in ingratiating him self into the confidence of quite a number of our citizens, including some of the municipal officers, and it is said he was engaged as a “de tective” to ferret out the recent burglaries that have occurred here. Mouroe unfolded a graphic tale to the authorities to the effect that he could “bag the game.” Ac cording to his story, the burglars had planned auother raid for last Friday night. In order that he might turn them over into the clutches of the law, he (Monroe) had joined the band and was to decov them into the hands of the officers. According to Monroe’s program, the store of J. H. McGee was to be burglarized during the “wee small hours” of Friday night. In the meantime Monroe was getting his board at one of our hotels at the expense of one of the city fathers, A posse of citizens, well armed, together with the city marshal, guarded Mr. McGee’s store Friday night, but no attempt to burglar ize it was made. On Saturday morning Monroe, the “Detective,” was missing, and his whereabouts is as yet unknown. Some think he was a genuine de tective, and still have faith iu him. It is said that he done some good detective work at Gaines ville in the way of catching up with a lot of blind tigers. It is even thought here by a few that the suspected burglars got wind of Monroe’s treachery and murdered him Friday night. They say two pistol shots were heard in the direction of the place where Monroe was to join the burglars. However, this might have been Monroe firing a parting salute as he took his leave from the city limits. Monroe was-a slick duck —no doubt.* He was either a “detec tive” or a “deceiver.” His ex ploits here will have the effect of making some of our citizens a little bit incredulous wheu the ..ext tramp comes aloug playing the role of “detective.” Burns d to Boath. The little 18-year-old daughter of a Mr. Brown, living 2 miles north of Buford, met with a hor rible death Monday afternoon. She, in company with her father aud other members of the family, were in a new ground burning brush and logs, when her clothing became ignited. She was som fi distance ’ from the ethers, and when she discovered her dress to b-. on fire, the little girl screamed for help and rail toward her fath er. This added fury to the flames, and the pain drove the girl almost frantic. * Even when she was caught by her father she tore loose from him aud continued to run till her clothing was all burn ed from her body and sh e dropped dead, a charred and blackened mass of burned flesh.

We have moved to Loganville to stay, and solicit your patron age. Yours truly, J>. Y. HODGES & CO. The Smallpox. New* from Buford Tuesday was not of a reassuring natnre. One new case of smallpox is reported, but we failed to learn the name of the patient. Owens, the barber, is getting along very well, and Mr. O. M. Bennett, the first victim, is convalescent, and is hack at Bu ford acting in the capacity of nurse at the detention hospital. Sever al parties are detained there under quarantine, and it is thought of the number four or five may de velop oases of smallpox. The dis ease is of a very mild type, and no fatal cases are looked for. How ever, no one is “hankering” after the malady on account of its mild form. Buford has suffered a great loss of trade on account of the scare. There is some talk of quaran tining against Buford, but as yet our city fathers have taken no ac tion in the matter. Should the disease be brought here from Bu ford, even in a mild form, the trade of Lawrenceville would suf fer greatly. It might be the part of wisdom to quarantine against Buford on the idea that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ” First-Class Dress Making, I am prepared to do all kinds of Dress Cutting and Making for Ladies, Misses and Children.
