   Revenue Arrests and Raids--Since our last issue Deputy Marshals Harbison and Robinson captured Lum Healand, of this county.  He was found at work in the still house.  Commissioner Brittain bound him over in $300.
   On last Friday they took a trip into Dawson County, destroying a 40 gallon still and a large amount of beer.  They also arrested three men named Gentry, Blackburn and Flannigan, who were working in and around the still house.  In default of bond they were carried to Atlanta jail on Monday.

   More Arrests and Captures--On last Saturday evening while Marshals Robinson and Harbison were riding along the Ellijay road they saw a wagon before them which aroused their suspicions, and riding up to the wagon they commanded the driver to stop.  Concealed under some fodder, they found two five-gallon jugs of whiskey and three one-gallon jugs of the same article.  The two men in the wagon were arrested and brought to town.  They were released on a bond of $200 each.  The capture was made about four miles from here, and the wagon was coming this way.  Ed Wells and Will Fitz were the men who were arrested.
   Deputy Marshal Harbison on Wednesday night arrested West Walker and Joe Walker for retailing the "Juice."  They were arrested near Wimpy's mill.  They had some whiskey with them.

   Again Shot At--Good luck seems to follow Deputy Marshal Harbison.  On Monday he went a short distance above Jay post office, in this county, and found in the house of William Gaddis, concealed under a bed, thirteen gallons of whiskey, which he seized and brought to town.  Gaddis was not at home.  While returning a short distance from Jay some person shot at him, the balls whizzing by his head.  It seems to have been buckshot fired from a shot gun.  This is the second time he has been shot at, but he seems lucky.  The shot was fired from such a long distance that if the balls had struck anything they would not have penetrated.
