A subscriber calls our attention to
the fact that "moonshine" liquor

to the fact that we have had very lit

carcass. Many Of the fellows who no

won't to engage in antics that remind
one of the juicy days of long ago.

plaint OF our friend, which may be
charged to the fear of the boys lest
they get n jar of wood alcohol, or Il
jug, of old hen-they go little slow
with it now. The price, said to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 per gallon,
is another deterrent from protract-

The Dog Tax.

A recent report from headquarters
in Richmond, states that the amount
collected from dog licenses, for the
yeaar 1919, was $256,77O, according
to Mr.. Britain, treasurer, Tazewell
County collected last year $2,484.25
from the dog license.
If every dog in the state had been
licensed and the tax collected, the
amount would not have been much
short of half million dollars, perhaps.
Some one suggests that it might come
to pass that dogs prove move valu-
able asset to the state than sheep.
This paper would like to publish n
report of each "dog killer" in the
county-and will if the boys will fur
nish the information.
Let the paper have these reports,
and the county know what you have
done to enforce the law.
