Now, all who did not guess who the
bootlegger is, come and get your pea
nuts for l shall have plenty to supply
all. By the way, l shall have to
change the name to pantslegger, as his
boots don't hold enough for wholesale
and retail both, and you will find him
located near the water, although he
don't use any of it in his hellish mix
ture. If you can't get him any other
way, put some poison in his drink, or
victuals, and pay him back in his own
coin, for his business is poisoning the
whole community, and there is no law
against outlaws. You will find that his
pants stick out like an old-fashioned
hustle of ancient times. More anon.
