afternoon, huge boa constructor
huge python made their escape from
their cage, aud, not having been
fed for two or three days, seized a
young camel and crushed it to death
in an instant. One Of them went
for beautiful Indian antelope and
would have killed it in moment,
but a number Of circus men came to
the rescue with pitchforks and goads
and. drove the serpent into corner.
Jennie Hickey, the young girl who
acts as snake charmer and has
charge of the monsters, was sum-
moned and struck the largest snake
twice with her whip. He darted
furiousIy at her, twirled himself
around her and in a second or two
would have crushed her in his coils
as be had the baby camel, bat, with
great presence of mind, she Dire"
the long, keen knife she always
carries for such emergencies and
cut the huge reptile in two. 1T was
a narrow escape, and the girl was
loudly applauded when che came in'
to the ring at night.

WHY WILL YOU PINE AWAY AND DEF

Send at once for bottle of Bradfed's Fe
male Regulator. Thu preparation is the re-
suit OF the life long study and experience OF one
of the most successful practitioners who ever
lived in the South. 1t is simply skillful com
bination of medicines known to act specifically
on the aconlJ and uterine organs. and its won
derful powers in the relief and regulation OF
menstrual disorders are due to such combina-
ton. Its benevolent author has long since
passed away, leaving this prescription as leg
acy to suffering woman and she will ever bless
him for this priceless boon.
Rradfield's Female Regulator has been a
success in my hands, have sold it for sew
eral wears, and az ait becomes known it in
creases in popularity, regard it as standard
remedy 1 have also used it in my practice
and always with the most gratifying success.

The Storm.

THE equinoctial gale struck this town
Saturday night and wind and rain ragged
furiously. A good deal of damage was done
in this vicinity. Several trees in the city
wer. uprooted and limbs ofother trees were
severed and hurled to the ground We
hear of one house blown over-that occu-
pied by Mr.. Finn, above town. He went
out after bucket of water, and in few
minutes, he heard q noise and saw his
house going over. His wife barely escap-
ed from the ruins not having time to get
her baby. With trembling hearts father
and mother entered the upturned building
to see what fate had betell their darling one
but to their joy they found the little one
unframed, on the bed, where they had left it,
smiling sweetly, as if the floods and winds
had not conspired to destroy the home nest.
Mr.. Joe McIntoshs house on Roswell
road was also blown down. 1t was occu-
pied at the time by three persons, but all
escaped unhurt.

ITO COUNTY OFFlCERs.-The new law
regulating legal advertising, has cut prices
down so low, that while we propose to com
ply with the law, others must do the same
and we must insist that in every case the
printers fee must be collected and paid in
advance. This gives less trouble. The
law fixes the rates as follows: "For each
one hundred words, the sum of seventy five
cents for each insertion for the first four in
sertions and for each subsequent insertion
thirty-five cents for each one hundred
words"
