Under Wheeler were Morgan. Wharton

tied down to the work Of digging, the
Confederate cavalry started out on op-

Winter and disturb the quiet of the
Union commanders. The first stroke
was begun Jan. 26 when Bragg or
dered Wheeler to make a dash across

River. to break up that line of COM

50 deceived by the misguided "beer and

states have on their statute books laws
making strong difference between the
sale Of liquors and the sale OF beer and
native wines. In several of the States
the sale OF beer and light wines was
exempted from taxation, while that Of
whisky was either prohibited or heavily
taxed.
The receipts Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau from fermented liquors tell the
story OF how the consumption OF beer
has swept over the country like a prai-

penditures OF the war everything in
