A tired and hungry enforcement officer who has spent endless hours in the wooded sections hunting illicit stills may be excused perhaps for not knowing the exact geographical location of said moonshine factory, and we feel sure that Major Hutcheson intended no aspersion on the honesty, integrity and law-abiding habits of Greens Creek township when he said the still was located 10 miles East of Columbus in Greens Creek township.” The fact that it did lie across the county line and the product was probably distributed to the south of us is a reassuring fact in any case, and we are pleased to make the requested correction.
Next time we’ll try to have the exact spot definitely defined.
