Says the Newport Reporter of the
10Th inst:
"The citizens Of the 18th civil dis
trict Of this (COcke) county dispatched
to Knoxville for Deputy Marshal j. L.
Barnett, to come, if possible. and
abolish the making of whisky in
their midst. He arrived, aud on the
night of the 19,h inst. captured two
stills, cutting one up and the other
was carried out safe. Five violators
were captured and tried before U. S.
Commissioners G. L. Ogden yesterday ::
VIM. Henderson and VIM. Price,
held TO court; Solomon Messer and
John Rollins, discharged j. S. Green,
continued until the 26ih inst. Man
ming Vest has been in jail several
days awaiting hearing. which he
will have to-day"
In another place the Reporter also
says:
We have been Informed that, in
the 18th distrist of this county, where
Illicit whisky is abundant, the women
have united against it, and last week
found and cut up two stills"

about four inches long and nearly an

Briggs.
We were well entertained by the
citizens, and had the pleasure of a
visit to the Bell Mead Farm, where We
saw several varieties of excellent stock,
a deer chase in beautiful park con-
tanning $50 of these animals, and were
treated to some excellent Scuppernong
wine. I believe DR.. Lenoir does not
remember whether it was wine or
whisky.
DR.. LENoIR-I have very little
to add. The proceedings the last day
were mostly speeches. Mr.. James, of
Chattanooga, made the speech of the
occasion. AS TO the wine, [ did not
take the trouble to inquire what kind
it was, but can remember very well
the effect it had on me, but I doubt if
DR.. Tadlock can remember the effect
it had on him.
