he quantity of whiskey that is being

| the vile stuff. 1t is no wonder we
are poor people, but from what l

make them look like hog afterwards.
Last Friday evening Negro boy
about ten years old, while playing
around the gin house of Mr.. Bobo,
got caught in some way on the shaft

at all the leading restaurln in Scda-
liza now.
