Caught Dividing Their Whiskey

The revenue officers ran upon a few gentlemen south of Jackson dividing their whiskey.  They caught a Negro and a Mr. Kimbrough, and we learn Mr. Ed. Hoard went down in a day or two to help the boys out.   We have heard it stated several times lately that Uncle Sam would withdraw the revenue department from the state if it were not for Butts county's moonshine proclivities.  We regret so many violations in this respect, and state that the better classes are opposed to the things.
