Drunkenness in Blackshear.

I Blackshear Times. * We never saw as much drunkenness in Blackshear before as we did on last Saturday. It was hogs. Early in the morning Ide Harper emptied several large barrels ol grape hulls, from which he had made ' wine, out in the rear of his store. It wasn’t long till the swine began te gather to it like bees to a bait, and the consequences were that late in the afternoon almost ever hog in town was drunk. They stood about the streets with their snouts down on the ground, their legs standing out on either side like bench legs, and sound asleep.
