Clearing Sale
A TALENTED WRITER MOONSHINE ON RIVERA
There are many good reasons for Special
Sales. A merchant may have too many goods,
or more than he requires of one kind, or he may
have numerous small lots in which the assort
ment of sizes is broken and therefore, be willing
to sacrifice profit in order to clean up. We shall
to sacrmcc pium m v»» uci iu ucau up. We shall
now commence a Special Clearance Sale—it will
be bona-fide.
We Will Save
Our Patrons Money
It will not be a sale of “Job Stuff” or marked-
up and then marked-down-again stock. Our
regular High Class Suits, Overcoats, Trousers,
etc., for men, boys and children, will go at cut
prices. Nothing sensational about this sale. It's
simply a money saving proposition.

/
While Amerlpus la “dry” and the
county as well, there may be other
localities hereabout where the prohi
bition 4£pught may not prove as op
pressive and depressing when summer
days shine hotful and the reserve
stock Is all exhausted.
For some people outside of Ken
tucky know how to make It, and these
may live near Amerlcus.
In fact. It Is said that there Is
fine old copper still somewhere in the
river swamp, but whether it manu
factures spirits of wine or spirits of
turpentine one is not supposed to
know.
And this big still, it Is said. Is
anchored on the river bottom.
An interesting story In this con
nection was told some time recently;
a story of two squirrel hunters who
unwittingly stumbled near its safe
hiding place in the dense swamp. They
never for a moment dreamed that a
still was located there.
In fact, their first Intimation of
danger was when one of the hun
ters received two loads of shot, fired
point blank at him from ambush.
The identity of the man behind the
gun was never found out. Even the
man thus shot had no curiosity.
But the affair created something of
a scare, no doubt, and soon theraf-
ter, a big copper still with long chain
attached, sank to the bottom of the
river. Probably ere this It has been
safely landed again and Is turning
out good spirits of "turpentine.”
The story has been told here open
ly, and is given for what It is
worth.

JHE KILLING OF HORN
Charged with the killing of the
negro Horn on the Hodges plantation
last Friday night one of the black
dancers present at the shootfest, Cleve
Walters, was brought In' and Jailed by
Sheriff Bell yesterday. Walters, of
course, denies all complicity In tho
affair, but will he held pending an
Investigation by the grand jury. Ia
Is not generally known what evi
dence has been secured against Wal
ters, hut enough, evidently, to war
rant his arrest upon tho charge of
homicide. Horn’s death was the fifth
homicide at mullet suppers hero dur
ing tho Christmas shooting carnival
just closing.

Ever watchful of the Interests ot

Hon. E. B. Lewis, the Third districts
able representative In Congress has
declared, war on the alleged fertilizer
trust. Ordinarily Mr. I^ewls is class
ed among the conservatives, lie has
not enthused over the popular game-
or railroad halting, and has not par
ticipated in trust-busting. He has not
expended fervid rhetoric In denuncia
tion of the corporations. But this .
does not mean that Mr. Lewis con
dones the offenses of real trusts or
Illegal monopilles. Believing that the
alleged fertilizer trust Is levying a
hoavy toll upon the farmers of Geor
gia and the country for n product
that Is as necessary to the farm as
food Is to the farmer. Mr. Lewis pro
poses that the government shall
make an investigation and punish th<
offenders if any unlawful practice. 1

STARTED BY A SPARK
Sparks from an energetic dinner
stove fell upon-the roof of‘Mr. Henry
B.- Everett's residence on. College

moments threatened its destruction.
But the flro department sprinted there
and in a remarkably short time the
fir# was out, tho firemen working like
veterans and doing splendid service.
Chief McArthur estimated tho total
damage to the roof, consisting ot a
small hole in the shingles, and to fur
niture as well, at probably $23.' The-
house is nearly three-fourths of a
mile from the city, a fact which cm
phaslz'-s tho splendid work ot the
firemen.
