| "A correspondent of the Rising Sun Recorder, writing from Walton, says that their town is the only one on the Lexington Pike where a man can get whiskey. We wonder how Florence will feel over that assertion. He describes Walton as a place of one hundred inhabitants, and three doggeries, where the barkeepers will sell you whiskey till you can't drink any longer, and then whip you for not drinking more." from the newspaper The Ticket, August 7, 1875. |
