Prohibition debates and murder cited in chaotic Georgia notes
A jumbled 1880s clipping notes Sheriff W. D. Kellett’s murder by moonshiners, Lowndes County prohibition talk, Georgia newspaper jabs at temperance, a boy killed his brother with a baseball bat, and editorials on President Cleveland’s message. It mentions cyclones, a horse thief, and local court actions, with scattered commentary about public figures and local crimes.
