Last Monday we were shown a curiosity
IN the shape Of snake, which was can.
tured by Mr.. John A. Reeves on his
plantation In Centerville township, 1t
had a forked neck with two distinct
heads. 1t was about the size OF a mans
il1tie finger, and about twelve inches
long. Many who saw it say that 1t is
king snake. Mr.. Reeves gave the snake
10 Messrs. Orr & Sloan, who will preserve
1t in alcohol.

Letser's dry goods house which appears
elsewhere in this paper. After spending
several weeks in the Northern markets,
Mr.. Tesser has returned home, and his
immense stock Of goods, which he pr-
chased lower than ever before, is daiI>
arriving. His advertisement tells YOU
Of a few of his goods, and also ut what
prices they can be bought or course,
all Of his old customers will buy their
goods of him this Fall. and we advise
,hnss who have never traded; .yi.h him to
visit his establishment We arc conf
dent the quality and price or goods will
please everybody. BE sure To read his
advertisement carefully.
Next Saturday the election for subscrip-
| ton to the Savannah Valley Railroad
takes place. Every friend or the enter.
prise should be ut the polls, and vote and
work for the subscription. The destiny
of the Road rests upon the shoulders Of
] the citizens in the townships called upon
to subscribe for the completion OF the
Road. 1t would be foolishness to throw
| away the amount already expended upon
the Road, when only small sum is now
asked to complete it. The amount of
taxes each man will have to pay will not
only be good investment for himself,
| but also for his children. Therefore, you
owe It to your children to vete the tax.
Let it not be said that our people arc SO
parsimonious as to be unwilling to aid in
promoting an enterprise that will devel.
| op and increase the wealth Of the County.
