Immediately after its destruction they
began the erection OF the present plant
The distillery proper is built entirely
of brick and is model of convenience
and perfection, only tn, latest i'm

used. AS rule, distillery is a very
dirty place but here everything is as
neat and clean as new pin. The
tubs, floors, and machinery are scour-
ed and rubbed daily and a stylishly
dressed lady could go all over the
premises without soiling thread
The distiller, Mr.. Calvin Nevieus,
is said, by those who know, to be one
of tn, best in the state. and Judging
from the excellent article produced,
this reputation is we'll earned. The
plant is now in operation and 1903 BUSH
eles are mashed per day, from which
Mr.. Nevieus produces from to l-2
blrrels of whisky.
The bottling department is a new
feature with distn.ers, the government
only recently granting them that
privilege. This department at the
Pilgrimage is nuder the direction
of Mr.. Jake Kortz. of Paducah. The
arrangem .nt are perfect and, as Mr..
Kortz is an expert hand at the bus
iEess, the gools of the Pilgrimage will
go to customers looking second to none.
The company is bottling some of its
six-year-old goods, which is considered
as fine whisky as can be found in the
state. The liquor is placed in large
copper tank and passes through a per-
feet fllering m lchine before reaching
the bottles. Mr.. Kortz has a force of
han Is who cork, seal and liable, the
bottles.~They are then put in cases
and are ready for shipment.
We were surprised to learn of the
enormous quantity of whisky in the
Pilgrimage warehous Sc. There are two
tremendous houses, both built on the
most moiern plan. In these are stor-
ed 1890 to 4,4oO barrels of whiskey.

FALSE REPORTS.
Being Circulated to the Effect that a
Case of Small POx Exists in
Lancaster.

We regret very much that a report
is being circulated over the county
that case of small pox is in Lancas-
ter. Some one started report that a
man named Clark had come from NJ d.
dlesboro and was now down with a
genuine case. We can state positively
that such is not the case. Nobody has
come here from Middlesboro for sever
al weeks, nor could a person come
from there without everybody know
ing it. a sharp lookout being kept for
that purpose.
! There is no more danger in coming
to Lancaster than there-is in going to
any other town, and it is to BE- very
much regretted that the idle and false
rumor gained circulation.
