ENORMOUS wHIsKEY TRADE,
Southern States are Making Millions of
Dollars.


Macons jug trade is something Won
derful at this season of the year, but 1t
is especially so this year.
The jugs that have been shipped out
to neighboring towns through the ex-
press office alone amount to over 1000
a day from Wednesday up until Satur-
day, and for Saturday and Monday and
Tuesday it was expected that the num-
Der for each would approximate 5000.
1t is thought that fully $4,000 will repre-
sent the total for the week, beginning
last Wednesday. These jugs contain
from a half gallon to five gallons, but
generally they have about two gallons
in them. Putting the average at two
gallons, it would make $4,000 gallons.
Besides these there are kegs and bar
rels shipped by freight and in private
conVeyances.
1.-The beauty about this is that the
whiskey brings retail prices" said a
citizen the otherday THAT whiskey will
average nearly "a a gallon, making the
whiskey trade of Macon's out-of-town
customers amount to upward of $780,
900 during one week, speaking alone of
the express route and, tits, perhaps,
safe to say that as much more goes out
by other routes. Macon Telegraph.
