leading lights of that county, and were
conveyed to the Smith Hotel where we
met the proprietor and manager. To
our surprise it was the clever George
Smith, formerly of old Marion. We
bad the pleasure of meeting his clever
family. We were treated with the
best of courtesy, served with the best
/ of grub, as fine a table prepared as
we had seen for years. and we will be
sure to call again when in Dunlap.

Relative to last weeks article, per
haps it may be necessary to make some
few corrections. Mr., Thomas says the
report Taylor is circulating about him
bootlegging in this town is untrue, and
without foundation and we make the
necessary correction for Mr.. Thomas,
and are glad the report is not true,
ami believe this courtesy is due to Mr..
Thomas. We don't want to give out
any reports against anyone if not true,
but Mr. Taylor himself is sole author
ity for the statement in which he says
he is going to tell the grand jury, so
leave the Taylor aud Thomas contro,
versy to be settled and fought out iE
the courts
Below is full report from the jus
tice of peace docket of cases under the
small offense law submitted to and
fined within the last two days: Wash
Mosier, public drunkenness; Joe Grif
fifth, public drunkenness; Elijah Muir
phey, public Srunkenness; A. D
Thomas, two cases, gambling; Sam
Clinton, gambling; France Powell,
public Drunkenness. There is a gener-
al wipe out of all bootlegging there
only ing one left, aud the officers are
hot ON his trail so the bootlegger here
is on slippery ground. There will be
many cases come before the justice of
the peace court within the next few
days on various charges, as the Grim
inal court meets next Monday. They
seemed to take the big eye and are
now easy to find.
Let me relate strange freak of ma
ture which occurred at Tatesville
during the rain and hail storm which
occurred there. A chunk of ice fell
in Rev, j. L. Whites yard, shaped
like human body, with legs, feet,
body, arms, all complete. 1t was pick
cd up by Mr.. Whit9 and placed on ex
hibition and was examined by num-
Der of people. Any reader of the News
doubling this statement. can write
Rev. J. L. White, postmaster at
Tatesville, and they will find the state
ment to be correct
There have been twelve wildcat
stills located and found IN Grundy
county within short space of time.
They have been completely destroyed
bv the revenue officers of the Middle
Division of Tennessee. This record
under the prohibition law of Tennessee
is somewhat discouraging to the wild
eating and bootlegging business.
That number of wildcat stills located
in one county is quite a record and
leads all others in the business In the
state. Representative.
