Our SNAKE SToRY.-Eyery county
in the State has had its snake story
and now We give ours. During the
Fair we met Col. John Cajoles, Of
Little Guyan, and after passing the
usual salutations, we asked him the
news, when he related to us the fol.
lowing as having actually occurred
on his farm last week. Tho Colonel
said: 81 was out in my garden patch
digging for that staple which passes
as legal tender in my community,
and feeling tired from my exerlions,
! took a nipfrom my pocket flask and
seated myself on what | supposed to
be log forest my weary limbs and to
summarize on the prospective price
sang" ! had been seated but a few
moments when the log began to
move, and | with it, aud before
could recover from my surprise,
was rolling down the mountain side
at fearful speed, and the log with
me. When reached the foot OF tile
mountain, | picked myself up and
saw my former resting place moving
off. pursued it for some distance,
when the thought occurred to me
that had better secure assistance,
so | started post-haste to my house,
and enlisted my son, nephew and a
negro man, and all being armed, we
started in quest of the monster, and
soon overlook it, when it showed
battle. We fired eighteen rifle balls
into its body, and sixteen charges Of
buck and ball, before it succumbed.
As soon as we deemed it safe, we APP
preached it, and found it to be a
huge black snake sixteen feet long
in the clear, two feet three inches at
the head and eighteen inches at the
tail. Ihave lived in the mountains
for seventy years, and never saw the
like before. After the battle was
over, all repaired to my house and
drank all the Mountain Dew" am
bunting to two and half gallons"
We can vouch for the Colonel's We
racity, and "begad sah," he will not
let it be questioned.

GRAHAM BoTToM IrEMs.-Tt was
our good pleasure to meet some Of
Graham's fuirest daughters, at an
entertainment given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Roush, on Saturday
evening Of last week. We was rath-
er u late guest, but enjoyed some fine
music by Miss Lollie Evans, who
knows how, and by the way is Il
pretty girl.
On Monday morning of last week,
a man was found in the river near
Mr.. Jackson Roush's landing. A
jury was summoned who upon ex
animation, found that he came to
his death by accidental drowning
He was unknown and contained
nothing about his person by which
he might have been identified. His
height was about 5 feet s inches, and
supposed to be about 81 years of age.
Messrs. John and Thornt. Baker
are still convalescing, and will soon
be able for duty. They were steam
boating in the South and stayed too
long, the cause Of their late illness.
We learn that there has been
trouble in the home circle of one of
our most respected families, and man
and wife have divided their worldly
goods and took their leave of one
another.

Died August 18th, 1881, at 7 o.
clock p. M, Miss Jessie Ennis, second
daughter Of Hon, Jabez Beard, of Ar
buckle District, aged II years 6
months and 6 days. Here was one
of those gentle retiring natures,
which to appreciate one must know
we'll and which to know well, is to
love. truly and deeply. Her last i'll
ness was long and painful, yet her
gentleness and patience endured to
the end, when the sleep He giveth
to His beloved came to her as gently
and peacefully as to the babe in its
mothers arms. Though SO young
she had proved herself a successful
teacher, firm and trusting friend,
an affectionate sister, a dutiful and
loving daughter, and above all, such
an one as our Lord Himself blessed
and declared, "of such is the King.
dom of Heaven"
"Jcssie is sleeping" the mother said,
$50 sweetly, her fever gone"
We went to her softly and raised her head;
We kissed her white forehead-O mol not
dead!
But Jessie slept calmly on.
Folding. her hands, on her gentle breast
How desolate seemed the years,
That heightened away; though she was at
rest;
A grave was between us-thc spirit blest
Was dim, through our binding tears.
Jessie is sleeping; God keeps the key;
She sleeps, where He slept before
Our way may be dark, but hers cannot be;
He lighted the gloom, that our loved might
sec,
And enter Heavens opened door,
A FRIEND.

TERRIBLE AocIpENT.-The Jack
son Herald of Friday, contains the
following particulars of an unfortu-
nate accident, resul'ing in the death
of James Taylor and William Par
sons, on the day before: "Workmen
were engaged in sinking a well for
Joel Casio, on Tug Fork, about IL
miles from Ripley, and found it ne.
cessary to remove rock by blasting.
After one blast, and before the smoke
had cleared away, Taylor descended
into the well, but soon asked to be
drawn out, and when part way up
fell from the bucket. Parsons then
descended and taking Taylor in his
arms gave the signal to the workmen
at the windlass to haul away. But
they had not preceded far when the
rope broke precipitating the two un-
fortunales to the bottom of the we'll,
instantly killing them both. The
remains Of Parsons were taken from
the well the same evening, but the
body of Taylor was not recovered
until next morning, Taylor was II
single man, but Parsons leavesa wife
and four children"
