Willie Sims was bitten by copperhead
snake few days since. Uncle John Sharp
treated the case with quart of his Ehneld
Whisky" which effected an immediate cure
The snake has not been heard of since the rem
edy was used. 1t is supposed that the whisky
killed the snake, as it was the long ranged
sort. 80 ..-,s.L
3 +. A. Plummer and R. l.. Hensley returned
home from West Tennessee few days ago,
whittier they had been for the past nYe
months. On reaching Trenton, and ascertain,
ing the "prevailing" was there, the boy s acted
like sages, adopting strict sanitary regulations
as a preventive against the attack OF the
enemy They procured one pound of assa-
foetida, and one peck of red onions. and by
using the diet freely, reached home In perfect
safety.
It is a true saving, chickens will come
home to roost." Hampshire has a man whose
experience verifes the adage. Last winter,
while the bill was before the Legislature to de-
tach the Hampshire neighbrhood from Maury
and attach it to Lewis, he opposed the meas
ure with all his might, declaring that IL
would injufe the valuation OF his farm hIty
per cent to be attached to Lewis county" By
the by he was a widower then, and is wild
over now. Recently he formed strong attach
ments for Lewis, and made an attempt to ac-
quire real estate on Big Buffalo by marltal
rights. She Tilted him, declaring "that IL
would injure the valuation OF her real estate
lily per C6HJ ny dbbdOhiuS ouSh
GUS old widoWer to Lewis" Served MN right
The sanitary regulations adopted by the
Mayor of Columbia as preventive against
cholera must have proven an emetlc to the cltl-
zens of Helms Branch. Several OF the females
of that vicinity visited Lewis to breathe tne
pure mountain air, and to exult owe! their
narrow escape from the malignant designs OF
the "Cny Fathers" and to recuperate gem
orally. Three went to Newburg and demand
| ed quarantine until the "prevaiilng should
| abate which being denied, the trio left the IN
hospitable place, enroute for Beaver Dam
| Springs. EBut before reaching the lattef
| place, the treacherous vehicle in which they
| rode, turned complete summersault, and up
| set them and their designs. In their whIrlIgl2
commotion, several very graceful eYOlutlons
were made, but at last down they came
| playing smash with their bustles, etc: Ihls
| unexpected catastrophe left the ladies' mat In
deed But they arose from their humble po-
| sition with as much 'Esang frold" as bruln
when he falls from the top of tall tree. In q
moment they surveyed the situation, and re-
solved to return to Helms Branch in defiance
of the"prevailing" and the Mayors "sanitary
emetic." The same evening they returned
through Newburg, en- route for Columbia, re-
sembling Bruin with his slight depression
wiser if not better women.
| Several BOYS, living in Maury, crossed the
"dead line" few days ago with guns anc
hounds, and engaged in the chase contrary tC
the new game law. 1ney were dFreoteu anC
brought before j. p. Holmes, Esq, who fined
the boys ten dollars each. They appealed
from his Judgment with view of testing the
constitutionality of the "game law" The cit
zens of Lewis asked for the passage OF thu
law for the protection of deer, and not for th'
purpose of excluding the citizens OF any othel
county from hunting in Lewis. The citizens
of Lewis never had any objection to such mer
as the Noles, Pogues, Websters, and STRAY
horns, hunting in their county. Such mer
are gentlemen, and have regard for the feel
ings and interests of the people of Lewis, ant
| such men are more than welcome to hunt IL
Lewis whenever they can do so without VIC
lating the game law. The law is only in force
from the 1st of March to the LIST of September
Let such men as we have mentioned have re
gard to the law, and come when the law is no
| in force and continue to act as they have
done, and their intercourse with the cltlzen
of Lewis at their homes or around the "camp
fires" will be agreeable and mutually pleas
ant. If any citizen of Maury, or any othe
county, were to kill deer while passing
through the county, there is not a citizen o
Lewis who would prosecute him for the oil
fense But whenever citizens come from an
other county expressly for the purpose o
hunting, while the game law is in force, tn
citizens of Lewis will consider the act In deh
f ance of the law, and will enforce it, Let III
have peace on this subject. =
