Lthonia NetU Era: THE Sticks" as the
big ledge woods have been famiiary called
by people round about were raided by
Deputy Sheriff Jasper Jenkins, with large
p)sss on last Sunday. THE Sticks" have
long been a terror 70 the good citizens Of
our county, as the home of debauchers and
violators OF law and order. Our fearless
and determined deputy sheriff decided that
everything 10 his power should be done to
break up the resort. The features Of Sun
days raid are interesting. just before the
sheritf's posse arrived at THE Sticks" it
sounded as If a general fusillade were going
on. but when the posse appeared the scene
became one Of wild disorder Men scat
tered in all directions, running over each
other in their wild efforts to escape arrest
There must have been several hundred OF
these Sunday roughs assembled. Situated
in the midst of the woods we're two blind
tiger saloons. The sheriff's posse made for
these and surrounded them out the pro-
prietors had escaped. The sherih then
raided the places and captured quite large
tiger outfits. books of accounts, etc, Win
plenty of evidence against the fleeing pro-
Drietors. which he will hold for the deleota-
ton OF DeKAlb's next grand jury Althougn
the propristors escaped, 1t IS altogether
likely they will soon be boarding at Decatur.
In the afternoon the sheriff strengthened
his posse for another raid and visited the
mountain place kept by well-known young
man about town. but he had heard
the news from THE Sticks" and fed.
having first posted on his door the following
notice: ''Please don't brake in, there amt
nothing 10 here" Then another raid on
''the Sticks" was the order and 10 was made.
| The crowd there were small compared with
the morning, but still enough TO give the
posse some fun, but they were wide awake
| aud fed in hot haste at the appearance OF
the posse. Two crowds Of negro gamblers
were all that were flushed, they escaped,
leaving three pistols captured by the sheriff.
One Of the crowds showed fight at the
posse as he ran, quite number OF shots
were exchanged. but no one was hurt and
none were caught. Constant raids will be
kept up and 1.-THE Sticks" will be civilized IL
the strong arm Of the law can do IL.

Maad Atkinson In Ingornar

AT the Grand last night a fair-sized
audience witnessed the fine rendition
of the romantic and cvcr-popular
play. Ingomar, by the Maud Atkinson
company. The star, Miss Atkinson,
has had perfect training for this deli
cate and exacting character, Par
thenia, aud presented it very en-
gagingly and with beautiful elaborate
ness of detail. In action she is almost
faultless, showing the modern physical
culture, Delsartism, i'm its finish-her
movement Is grace itself. With
adquate conception of her various
characters, good voice trained to dsi-
tinct articulation, 4 fine presence,
excellent taste in costuming, Miss
Maud Atkinson is truly n dramatic
star. The support is also good, the
various characters In the play last
night being taken. The ingomar OF
Mr.. John V. Melton, as well rs the
Parthenia of Miss Atkinson, elected
much applause. There Yves no Lack
in the entire cast. The Richmond
orchestra rendered enjoyable music.
Tonight The French Spy will be
given and ought TO have a good house.
The play is popular and the company
suited to its requirements.-Rich-

Acurious legal controversy isreported
as likely TO arise In New York through
the bringing Of an action to recover the
rent for a dress suit A certain tailor
who lets out dress suits at TIE rate of
two dollars per night furnished one to
b member of IN Arctic expedition en-
campcd just now ut or supposed to be
within gunshot of the north pole The
explorer was rendered n reception by
some friends previous TO his departure,
and In order 10 be clothed properly for
the occasion he had to hire the suit in
question Next morning the explorers
mother packed the suit in his Saratoga
trunk, not knowing TINT it wasn't his,
and he took It up to the north pole with
him. 1t has been used doubtless ut The
principal blubbcr foods and walrus
hunts to impress the natives. But low
the owner Of the suit comes in with a
claim Of two dollars per day for the
rent of the suit, which probably in the
first instance cost about twenty dollars.
BY the time the explorer comes baek-
if he gets back on tilc>thc claim will
amount TO SI92
