ROSWELL.

I'VE have had plenty of rain for the
past two or three weeks and crops are
growing very fast Corn and cotton both
look we'll and if the seasons continue
through the summer as the they have up to
the present, there will be an abundant crop
garnered this fall and our time dealers in
provision as well as the farmers will have
reason to rejoice and be glad.
1.-The wheat crop in this section is very
good although several farmers failed to
measure up to their calculations as is gener-
ally the case with sOme.s
The Methodist Sunday School have
received their new organ. 1t is very
sweet toned instrument and the singing
conducted by our worthy and efficient
choirister, MIR c. NJ. Webb, on last Sunday
morning, was just splendid.
The work on the new factory is pro.
crossing rapidly but for the want OF lum-
Der very few hands are employed at pres
ent. The rock work is almost completed
and the brick work is about halt done.

monial Association it seems that some o

A Large enake.

On last Sunday. Mrs James Hardeman,
of this place, was Mortified and frightened
at seeing large snake coled across the en-,
trance of the front door of her home, its
head erect and darting forth its tongue
defantly Mrs. Hardeman's distressing
screams brought her husband to the scene.
He took in the situation at once, and with a
stout stick he went for this serpent that so
dariAgly ntruded upon his happy Eden
home The first lick he made struck the
snake on the back of the head. 1t was a
fatal blow, and the snakes head dropped in
the agony of death, but to the astonish
ment of Mr.. ii. and wife, there scampered
out of the snakes mouth two live mice
Truth is stranger than fiction, and this is
vouched for as the truth. The snake was a
large black one and measured three feet in
length.

i'll health, arising from a throat and bron-
chial affection, which l have had for several
months, renders it necessary for me to dis
solve my connection with Marietta High
School. Prof. w. E. Myers will assume
the presidency of the school, and will, if
necessary, employ an assistant. The school
will be continued in the same place (the
Bozeman house) and as nearly as possible
on the same principles, which we have
reason to believe have rendered it so popu-
lar with its patrons. Thanking those who
have heretofore favored us with their pat
ronage, and trusting that it will be their

interest to continue the same to the school
under the presidency of Mr. Myers, am,
