For some time the officers have spected that liquor was being made in the "Sugar Hill" sec tion of this town. From the cas ual remark of a citizen about so much water being used in a cer tain kitchen in that vicinity, the officers began to figure a little, and on Saturday morning Sheriff Reid swore out a search warran to search the -premises of one William Burnette. AndNvith this instrument of authority to which had been affixed the name of Jus tice Ausbon, deputy sheriff F. E Reid officers W. R. White and A. Swain entered the premises, where thay soon discovered a re gular "corn liker" still. It had been disconected, of course. The tank was up the kitchen loft, the tub and worm were in a corner of the room covered with bags. The sweat cap1 was under the kitchen in a bag. The still was one of those small kind that can be used on an ordinary cook stove, and can be taken down and concealed in short order. The officers also found enough mash to make over a hundred gallons of corn whis key or "monkey rum." The still and a small quantity of whiskey and the compound were taken to the Sheriffs office and William! was taken to jail.

Mrs Gaboon Enlcrlims. v- Mrs. Clyde Gaboon (frightful ly entertained the members of her Litei ary Club, Thursday af ternoon. Feb. 22. Longfellow was the subject for the afternoon. Mrs. R. W. Johnston read an interesting sketch of his life and character. Mrs, R. P. Walker recited "The Day is Done," and Mrs. James Williamson read selection from "Hiawatha." "The Bridge" by Longfellow was sung by Mary Smith. The Club enjoyed having as guests Misoes Sammie Harrison Mary Smith. The following article, Long fellow The Popular Poet, by Mrs F. J. Knight, was read to the meeting: Longfellow, the Fopular Poet. It was as the poet of th people that Longfellow stands preemi nent. He lacked many of the traits that make for greatness in other American writers, but he sang of the sweetness and beauty in commonplace every day life, and to his song and its power the Uuiversal heart responded. Longfellow's poems are many. Among the most popular may be mentioned "Evangeline," pub lished in 1817 is considered his most perfect poem. "The Song of Hiawatha" published in 1851 became very popular from its ap pearance aud with its quaint me ter seeme likely to hold the fa vor of the people. In 1S5S "The Courtship of Miles Standish" was printed and was very popular. It was a bit of family history and jves a re alistic picture of the ea Ply mouth Colonial days.

"The Psalm ot Life" "The Rainy Day" "The DayisDone" "Maidenhood" and "Footsteps of Angels." This last was written in memory of his "youth. His last poem written in Jan. 1882 was "The Bells of San Bias." And the first poem at tributed to his pen was "Mr Fin ney's Turnip" written at school at the age of nine. Longfellow lived a life of pu rity and sweetness and his po ems seem but its minor echoes. On March 24th 1882 in the early sgringtime when the wood land songsters were caroling their first sweet songs, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow vanished from among the earthly singers and went to join the "Choir in visible." He died at seventy five years of age, beloved by all and mourn ed by a nation. DANCE AT ROPER. Roper, Feb. 28 -On Friday night, February 16th, the Roper Cotillion Club gave first pre Lenten dance.
