"We understand that on last Friday, a murder was committed not far from Crutchfield's mill, by one O-lah [in Cherokee] who in a fit of intoxication thrust a butcher knife into the temple of another, Ah-ne-yvng-le, [in Cherokee].

Is it not time, high time to bestir ourselves, and make a vigorous exertion to put a stop to the progress of intemperance?- We are happy to state that the repeated instances of murder occasioned by ardent spirits, have had a good effect on individuals. We hope the effect will become general, and that Whiskey will be considered as the most deadly poison, and be entirely discarded. " Ref: Cherokee Phoenix, published on Wednesday September 17, 1828
