TYRE
With the harvest from another year’s
labor 1 almost gathered; with our people
comfortably sheltered from the icy hand
of winter and our homes unclouded by
want and misery, we come again to the
season of 'Thanksgiving.
The lapse of twelve months since last
we were called upon to pour out our
thanks to a providence who has guided
us aright have found us blessed with the
same good neighbors who have long stood
shoulder to shoulder with us in life's bat
tle, and happy in the knowledge that our
homes and our institutions are safe and
secure from harm. We have labored as
a home-loving people, out in the fields
made bright by the sunlight of liberty.

Sheriff Baggett and his able corps of
deputies have an unbroken record for
running down “moonshiners’’ and “blind
tigers.” having a never-failing smell for
these kinds of violation) of the law, but
the biggest catch and best outfit they
nabbed was hauled in today, (Friday)
and no government distillery ever pos
sessed a better or more complete outfit
than this.
Have gotten a whiff of a brand of
booze far superior to that handled by the
average bootlegger in his rounds over
the county, the sheriff decided to investi
gate.
So, this morning, accompanied by Joe
Harding, Floyd Sharpe and Ben Hill
Bomar, the sheriff made a detour down
on the river, and after a short search,
located a well equipped steam distillery.
The still was located near the home of
Frank Collins, and was owned and op
erated by Joe Miller, colored, who was
“at home” and running his machine in
full blast, whose product has wrecked
more homes, broken more hearts and
sent more unprepared souls to the grave
than all the evils of Christendom.
The operator and outfit of 6o-gallon
capacity, were both captured by the sher
iff and his posse, along with twelve gal
Ions of booze, which the maker declared
be the best that ever touched man’s
lips.
The sheriff informs us that he has cap
tured various and sundry outfits during
his term of office, but the catch of today
was the best and most complete be had
ever run across, being complete in every
detail.

A man went into a hardware store—

brass which he wished to use as a drawer
handle. The dealer asked sixty-five cents
for it. The customer demurred, because
he had paid but fifty cents for the article
in the same store before the war and he
thought the price was excessive. The

legitimate, and that, anyhow, the price
