Revenue Officers Destroy the Beer Revenue olllcerg siwooftcd down on a small wildcat distillery, lo cated on a branch near the old Fa gan place, last week and poured out the stock of I kst, which con sistcd of two sugar barrels and a lard can filled with the fermented article that produces the fire water. The officers were a little premature in their visit and therefore missed the still which had not jet been in. stalled. Two boys were found a deep at the place, presumably watching the beer to keep strangers from drinking it up. A i old gentlemun from that section, who was in town to day, tells us that the still was located at an ideal place, on the head of a branch with laurel bushes all around and a nice little rcservoii had laen built to supply water for C< oil ig purposes.

Neighbor knows anything about it. In fact if lie knows as little about everything else as he does the coming of Christ he should be taught and not trying to teach.
