An Early Snake Story.

A big snake story comes from Mount Holly, in Berkley county, s. C. A party of negroes were cutting upon @ lightwood log of large circumference and great length, when 1t suddenly began to move slowly off toward . creek about ten feet distant. The negroes were stricken with terror, and they at once dropped their axes and stampeded. Dr. Byrd, in charge of the hands, tried to recall them, but they continued their flight, with out even once booking back. In tho mean time the log was travelling steadily toward the creek AS it fell into the water, the source of it's power of locomotion was re- vealed ih most astounding manner. Hun dreds of hissing sespents leaped forth from their hiding places in the log and darted forth in different directions in the water. The snakes were of the genuine water mocca- sin species, varying in length from that of . buggy spoke to a hoe handle. Dr. Byrd and others stood by, watching the snakes depart, and their going consumed fully thirty min utes. Three of the negroes who fed when the log began to move have not since been heard from--Atlanta Constitution.

pearance to the junction this winter.

wood, mostly from the eastern part of
the town, this winter, as the swamps
were nearly covered with water and not
frozen before the snow came. Some.
however, by treading the snow and thus
making roads, are getting out their wood.
