Quarts Of Whiskey-All Carried
10 Holly Springs.

LaRue and Walter Thompson, captured
still up near Waterford Sunday.

Ford car stuck in the mud. Of course
the officers are all fine gentlemen and
they stopped to help the poor negro
out. While they were helping him get
his car out of the rut they discovered
bottle of. whiskey. Of course the
negro did not know that these good
men were Uncle Sans agents but he
soon found it out when the officers
made further investigation and found
l16 quarts of real, red liquor, just
from Cairo, stored away nicely in the
car. The negro, whiskey and the car,
were all arrested and carried to Holly
Springs, for safe keeping.

National Highway Progress.

Several weeks ago the Commits
sioners voted TO establish the east
and west highway from the Fisher
county line to Snyder over the lower
Roby road, about the same time a
petition was filed by citizens asking
that the highway be established from
Snyder to the Plainview School house
on the old Camp Springs road and
from Painview due east TO the Fish
er county line. The court voted down
that petition in favor OF the Roby
road.
Since then the State HighwQ
Commission have been over the
ground and because OF the sand and
the necessity for more bridges on
the Roby road they have chosen the
Plainview route and the highway
will go there. This line runs just
mile south Of the Camp Springs
road from Plainview.
Judge Adamson says work has be-
gun on the north end of No. and
in 80 days they expect to be working
on the south stretch and possibly in
l3O days more work will start on the
east and west highway.
