Ex-Constable Henry Johnston of
our county has found distilllns
much more lucrative than that of
hunting the blind tiger in his lair or
of capturing contraband. After leav-
ing the constabulary force he estab-
lished distillery at Hamburga and is
now selling his corn liquor to the
State. The Dispensary bought 7OO
gallons from him.
The barbecue and picnic at Lam
hams on last Thursday was dismal
failure on account of the steady down.
pour of rain nearly all day. The Hus-
sars had made abundant preparation
for a rare feast and fete and the heavy
expense incident thereto has left them
in the soup to the amount of eighty
five dollars. The many friends OF this
gallant troup will remember this and
come to their aid when occasion Of

of the county board. Gentlemen, pre-
serve your equaminity. You haven't
done anything presentable, so far as
we know-so far as the public knows
but if you get ratified you may do
something foolish. During the war
we have known of regiment stam-
peded by hearing loose horse gallop-
ing down the road. Don't let that
loose horse stampede you.
Mr.. J. H. Reel living near old Dun
louisville, this county, made this year
on half an acre of land 80 bushels of
Irish potatoes which he sold at $l.00 a
bushel. We know this to be so for we
have seen the potatoes. This yield
was made on land of the old Harry
Reel place, that literally and truly
wouldn't sprout cow peas few years
ago. 1t was claimed at one time, be-
fore the war, that it would sprout la
dy peas, bCt it never was proven. Mix
brains with your joanne:c if you wish

Sam Taylor says he has engaged
Mr.. Jim Paul to make the survey OF
his new county, the Ben Thompson,
and that he is "whetting of his IN
struments now for the work." Sam

the "Anti's," but Jim wants to crook it
so as to leave out all the ramrackers,
and that he specs him aid Jim will

veying is done, the pint OF where TO
leave out "antis" and where to take
