The Blue Ridge PostSm
On last Monday £ £*fs the
m
darkness of the new-b day was
breaking a way Deputy Marshal
W. F. Stanley found himself an un¬
welcome visitor in the blockade dis¬
tillery of James Kell, who was mak¬
ing the “mountain dew” in the cor¬
porate limits of the “Mountain Cre¬
scent City.” The Marshal found
three quarts of whisky and a wash
pot which was used as a still. After
demolishing the wash pot and pour¬
ing out the whisky the marshal told
Kell to take up his cross and follow
him and in less than an hour the mar¬
shal wrapped on the office door of U.
S. Commissioner Crawford, and in
less than forty minutes the marshall
and Kell were on their way to the
energetic and progressive little city
of Blue Ridge, \4here at 1 o’clock,
(i. m. they boarded the South bound
train for the Gate City, where Kell
how looks through the irou bars and
longs to be in the “Mountain Cre¬

still.

built in a town where wild cat siills

Baalzebub.
The above is about as near the
truth as a one gallus lawyer who
wears a derby witii crown out could
get. The truth is the distillery seiz¬
ed was three and a half miles from
Morganton and in two miles of Blue
Ridge—It is very ungenerous to say
the least. “Baalzebub” would say
that it is in one mile of Morganton
and within the corporate limits, of
course it is done with a purpose to
injure Morganton in the Court House

has ceased to be a virtue. He

The farmer who owns a large crop

at the upward tendency of the wheat
market. Ilis affairs have been going
down hill so long that no one should
object to the turn they have now ta¬

It will take something a great deal
stronger and harder than a rumor to
kill Gen. Benjamin F. Butler.
