UNIQUE WAY TO
EVADE THE LAW
How A Merchant In Prohibit
tion Georgia Does
Sells Whisky Bv Bottle, But Makes
Purchaser Sell Him Back One
Drink.
An attache of a local bank is
authority for a story depicting
the unique way in which a mer¬
chant in a small town of Georgia
sells whisky.
The merchant makes no es¬
pecial effort to conceal the fact
that he is engaged in the traffic,
but is rather cautious to whom
he sells. When a prospective
customer comes in the merchant
agrees to sell him a quart for
$1.50, provided the purchaser
agrees in turn to sell the mer¬
chant a drink of the quart for 15
cents, this making the purchaser
a seller and eqaally liable under
the law' and therefore not likely
to “peach,” It is said the en¬
terprising merchant is raking in
quite a good many dollars.—

Ball Game at Crandall Saturday.
Last Saturday Crandall and
Eton crossed bats at Crandall
and oh, such a game. The score
finally wound up being about 9
or 10 to 14 in favor of the Eton
sluggers, as best the official score
keepers could estimate. The
errors and misunderstandings in
the game were too numerous for
the score-keeper and umpire to
handle, however, only three men
were struck out on either side,
which shows that both teams had
on their “Batting Clothes.”
This was the first game the
“Green Mountains Boys” have
lost, and they are determined
not to lose another. They will
visit the Eton diamoud soon and
the game promises to be a warm
game. The line up was as
follows:

people than any other disease.
This is due to the disease being

hope you will be elected and I
know if some of them were out
