Clearing Sale A TALENTED WRITER MOONSHINE ON RIVERA There are many good reasons for Special Sales.

Druggist NEW PUN OF DRAWING PENSIONS OF STATE / 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. Attention Veterans. Members of Camp Sumter 642, U. C. V. are requested to meet at the courthouse at 10:30 o'clock Sat urday morning next, 18th, for the pur pose of attending the exercises com memorative of the birthday anniver sary of the South’s Illustrious chief tain, General Robert Edward Lee.
