WEEK OF-NOTIFICATIONS GEORGIA. THOMASVILLE LADIES AND AND BLACKBERRY WINE. f * " Some of ThomasvIUe’s housewives have been very much troubled of late. It has been the custom of many to put up a lot of blackberry wine^very sum mer for medicinal as well as other purposes, ami now they are told that thtf inhibition law does not allow the manufacture of any sort of wine. Hav ing nothing to do with the making of the law, and not seeing why a woman should be obliged to keep a law, any way, if she doesn’t want to, they fail to see why they can’t mnke wine out of the blackberries they have bought and paid for as well as jam.
