Man cutting wood fi nds moonshine; fi ned for possession of liquor
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
Sept. 29, 1921
George Anderson was fi ned
$250 by Justice Conaway after
he entered of plea of guilty on the
charge of having liquor in his pos-
session. He had been working with
others on upper Alder Slope, cut-
ting wood, and somebody had
been making moonshine there.
Large yields of wheat have been
gathered by so many farmers that
every part of the county has won
honor. Poague Brothers, on the
Creighton farm, had a splendid
crop, on a fi eld of 85 acres, mea-
suring out to 58 bushels to the acre.
As Floyd Cole was driving
toward Enterprise on the highway
near W.F. Craig’s home, the steer-
ing gear of his car went wrong
and the machine went off the road
and turned two somersaults. With
the driver were two passengers.
Dr. S.D. Taylor came up and he
gathered the three into his car and
took them to his hospital. There
were no serious injuries.

forgotten grave in a fi eld of the farm of Americus McAlexander in the mid-
valley. Those in the group are J. H. Horner, Harold DuBois, David Reavis,
Ben Weathers and H. M. DuBois (the photographer).
at Enterprise High School are
studying home management,
especially of money. As nearly
one-half of all the families in the
United States have an income of
$1160 annually, it is important to
know.
Dave Murrill, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hilbert Murrill of Flora, was
diagnosed last week with scar-
let fever. He is at the home of his
aunt and uncle, thus keeping him
away from the other children.
Mrs. Wm. Ferguson, Mrs. E.
