Il. OF IA Lodge OF the
Knights OF Honor has been or
gained in this city. The mem
bership, we believe, consists
chiefly Of married men, and is a
Kind Of a mutual insurance Or
ganizafion, by which the fami-
hes or heirs of deceased mem
bers realize two thousand dol
lars. This amount is always
kept in the Treasury and is
known as the widows and Or
plans fund, and is promptly
paid over to the family OF any
deceased member, who is in
good standing in the order.
BALL AND CHAIN.-A negro
named George Rippeto, had one
of his ankles ornamentcd with
Il bali and chain yesterday, and
can be found at work with the
street gang. He Is under sen
tenca for 35 days for indulging
in the pastima Of playing Hail
Columbia with an axe handle
on the wooley pate of Google eye
Brown at his own house.
LAw.-We would advise
young gentlemen who are not
legally qualified officers, that it
would be very imprudent to car
ry deadly weapons when they
are not in the discharge OF their
lawful duties. The Supreme
Court Of the State has already
decided This question, and the
law is very strict an | severe up
on officers violating the laws
they are sworn to enforce.
CLEARED OUT-Two well
known negroes, named Frank
Harper and Bill Price escaped
from the chain gang yesterday
aud have left town. it is hoped
for good. One was serving ont
a sentance OF 30 days, the other
62 days and had already work
ed about Is days OF the time.
Should they venture here AGAR
they will have their ankles orna-
mented with first quality jewell
ry, warranted not to lose off.
