Constable J. C. Winchester reports
that there hasn't been a single arrest
this reason in Union county as tt re
sult of cider drinking. As he remem
bers there t was none such last sum
mer when there were plenty of ap
ples and lots of cider. He accounts
for it by explaining that the law is
so strict in regard to the manafac-
ture and sale ot intoxicants that men
who make cider are very careful not
to sell it to minors nor to men who
don't know when they get enough.
