Anniston Hot Blast September 6, 1884
Last Saturday a goolly crowd of people were in the city, drawn here for the 
purpose of listening to a political discussion between some prominent citizens. 
Among the crowd assembled from a distance, were two wayward sons from Randolph 
County named Bonds and Thrash. They came over the mountains in a two-mule wagon 
and stopped over somewhere behind the cemetery. It didn't take long for thirsty 
ones to catch on to the fact that the said Randolph County citizens had some 
"mighty good Apple Jack" that could be gotten by a knowing wink out of your off 
eye, at the same time tendering enough filthy lucre to pay for the cost and 
trouble of hauling. Sometime during the day, the officers noted that the red, 
red, rosy was being circulated around quite freely, while one or two movements 
by the Randolph County men excited their suspicious. Armed with the proper 
papers the officers began an investigation which developed the facts above and 
caused them to take the parties and their wildcat goods in tow. They were 
carried before Judge Jeffers, who bound them over to appear at the next term of 
his court which convenes on the 9th.
