CAPTURES BIG STILL
Sheriff R. H. Smith, Jr., and
Deputy J. L. Bronte spent
Sunday watching for the
operator of a big still on Cache
River a few miles north of
McCrory. They failed to get
the criminal because he did
not visit his place of business
as anticipated, but the still
was “captured” and de
molished according to law.
Although there are no
mountains in Woodruff, the
“mountain dew” was quite
plentiful as seven barrels of
the juicy joy was destroyed,
jt was the largest catch in the
history of the county.
The still which was of 300
gallons capacity, was located,
JJJ the west bank of Cache!
Rjver about 200 yards north
m the Aminate Ford. In the
seven barrels were found
Prunes, peaches, corn meal
*nd shorts. More than 100
tm molasses buckets were also
destroyed. The main tank
Used in making the moonshine
Was a 50 gallon gasoline metal
lank of oval shape and coal
Was used for fuel. Twelve
?ases, containing six one gal
Ton buckets each of Mary
Jane molasses, sold by W. S.
forgan & Sons, of Tupelo,
Were found with the outfit.
SAFE AND STRONG
This week we give an in
teresting and satisfactory
statement of the financial con

It is most gratifying to the
bank officials to be able at
this time when money seems |
so tight, to state that they
are living up to their motto of
“safe and strong” by showing
in their sworn statement as re
quired by law that they have
on hand a cash reserve double
the amount which the law re
quires for the protection of
the depositors. We congrat
ulate President H. W. Jerni
gan upon the able manner in
which he and the other mem
bers of the Board of Direc
tors have financed the Bank
of McCrory which is one of, if
not the strongest, in Woodruff
county.
