A man’s brain beclouded by whiskey is in condition for most anything a drunken man’s fancy might dictate. Tom Dawkins was crazy drunk Sunday night at the home of Tebe Shepherd, and as a result he was cut with a knife by young Jim Shepherd. Squire Mullis Tuesday tried Tom and fined him $5 and costs for being drunk and disorderly, and bound him to Court under $100 bond for selling while drunk a Coca Cola bottle half full of whiskey to a negro.
