The Preachers snake story.

BREMEN, Ga, May 22.-The Rev.
DR. G. w. Parker, respected preach
er of this place, is authority for the
following tale:
.Dr. l. N. CLANCY used to practise
medicine in Carrollton. He now keeps
a hotel in Bremen. He went to Car
rolltor the other day in his buggy,
and where traded an old debt for a
good horse. and started out for Bre-
men in his buggy, leading his new
horse.
"When he was nearing the Little
Tallapoosa River Bridge at Kings
berry's mill, be Suddenly beard a
roaring among the trees, that he in
stantly supposed to be a storm. Look
ing up the hill he saw the forest in
commotion, and the trees falling and
bending toward him, and ia the midst
huge Dody, which proved to be a
snake. The doctor put whip to his
horse and was quickly on the bridge.
Feeling tne buggy jerk, he looked
and saw the snake swallow the horse
he was leading, and plunge into the
river just above the bridge. and just
as the snake poked his head out on
the other bank of the stream, his tail
still up on the side Of the hill, his
body reached clear across the river
'The horse having on new shoes,
kicked through the stomach of the
snake, and the snake stopped, and
the stream was damned, and the
water rose and foated the snake to 9
level with the bridge The doctor
jumped out of his buggy, took out
a big knife, and cutting the hole
larger where the horses feet were
sticking out of the snakes body, th'
horse hounced out and mounted this
bridge. The doctor secured him Il
his buggy and drove on, but by thi'
time the water had backed till the
horse had to swim the lower ground
but they made their escape.

Cold and Dry Climates.
ST.. LOUIS, July 4.-Richard John
son, of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, said today to an Associated
Press reporter: q have for the past
hree months been travelling through
The cattle districts with the object Of
asecrtaining what the condition OF
range and farm cattle now 10 and
what improvements have been made
in the grade of stock on the ranges
On the whole the result OF my exam
ination has been decidedly satisfacto-
~, and the reports of the other two
agents OF the bureau will be Of the
same character. In some sections 1t
is not TO be denied that the grade OF
cattle has deterioated in a marked
degree. This is especially true Of the
extreme Northwest and farms east OF
the Missouri rivers. -Four or five years
ago, what are known as Oregon cattle,
though by no means confined TO the
State Of Oregon, we're by all odds the
best 10 be found on the range. To
day half-breeds are in the majority
and the beef produced is not nearly
50 fine, and the average weight OF
cattle has fallen of nearly ten pounds
One fact has been proved beyond a
doubt, and that is that neither in the
cold or dry sections OF the country
should the Durham be introduced on
farms. In the agricultural belts Of
Minnesota, Dakota and Western
Missouri farmers are still aiming to
reduce rather than to increase Their
holdings. The low price OF Cattle
has made the industry unrelnunerative
and breeder are selling off their cows
and steers and replacing them witt
horses. An encouraging change, ant
one which more than compensate
for any loss in any other direction
has taken place in the Southwest
The Texas long, horn, lean and sinew,
arrivals are being rapidly replaces
by cross between the Durham sn,
Deyon. The average weight Of tn
cattle is greater by more than l0'
pounds than it ever was before.

With feelings of profound regret

particular the almost entire destruc-
ton Of our city by fire on the morn
ing Of July ., 1889, all Of the BUSH
ness portion having been destroyed,
entailing loss Of over half,a-million
dollars.
While proportionate TO the magni-
tude OF the disaster the number of
cases Of destitution is small, still each
day reveals the painful fact that
many OF our citizens must shortly
receive aid or suffering will follow.
So many have been utterly ruined
that without some assistance in the
way OF builing material or the means
TO procure it they will be absolutely
shelterless, and compelled TO seek
homes elsewhere. This is a result the
whole Territory must deplore.
Since the conaagration we have
been in receipt of numerous protfers
OF assistance from the generous. heart

where, but believing we could within
ourselves relieve all distress, hav,
heretofore declined it; but after hav
