Hon. J. M. Smith of Oglethorpe
county believes strongly in the
possibilities of silk culture in Geor-
gia. He has recently ordered l00,-
600 mulberry trees, and will have
them set out on his plantation.
During the war the women Of Geor-
gia cultivated the silk worm, spun
and wove beautiful silk. There is
no reason why they should not en-
gage in this business under the
more favorable conditions of peace.
The demand for cocoons is steady
and the prices offer liberal compen-
sation for the labor which their pro-
duction in Georgia would require.
Mitchell county can show Won
der in a horse show. Mr.. Nj. f.
Davis, who lives out in the land of
Goshen, has eight head OF horses
and colts, all the colts and grand
colts of old Mollie who died three
years ago. Besides these, he has
sold horses to the amount of $3.50,
all her progeny. Mack says the
colts are about as cheaply raised as
a common calf.
Mr.. j. D. Bellany of Athens tells
Of knife that bss been in use 125
years. 1t is barlow knife and is
in the possession of Miss Mary Car
son, who lives in Sandy Creek dis
trict, in this county. This knife
belonged to Miss Carson's great
grandfather, and has certainly been
in use 125 years.
A cal owned and raised by Mrs.
DR.. Cumming Of Irwinton, Ca, is
one halt rabbit. Its head, front
feet and one section OF its body is
like an ordinary house cat, while
its hind part resembles that of a
rabbit, its tail being short and per-
feet, and when not in motion will
sit in the same position as would
a full blooded rabbit.

A few days since as he was vending
his way homeward presumably from
the cotton field, his attention was
drawn to the carcass Of a COW that
had given up the ghost and which to
all appearances was in tolerable
state OF preservation. A scratch

seemed to and did proceed from the
bowels of the defunct bovine, and
investigation revealed the tact that

There were two women on the
board OF school commissioners of
New York, and their terms expired
few days ago. A strong effort was
made to induce Mayor Grant to
appoint men to the vacancies, but
the mayor was true to the gentler
sex. One Of the women was reap
pointed and another woman was put
in the place Of the one who failed to
get a second term. The unanimous
testimony is that lie women have
made excellent members of the
board. Mayor Grant has followed
the dictates Of good judgment as
we'll as the suggestions OF courtesy.

came forward and acknowledging their
guilt promised better behavior il the
trustees would be lenient. AS peace
was all they wanted the trustees redily
consented. One Of the boys. however.

pleasant day either. The minister was
busy and had hard work TO get away;
and as the person buried was total
stranger TO him and had never been in
his church he asked for fee Of ten
dollars. IL was refused blandly, but
with considerable surprise shown that
such request should be made. The
minister promptly put The case in the
hands of a lawyer and now the fec has
been paid"

Dodgeville Sun: A large pilot adder
was killed on the farm of VIM. Pengilly
north of town on Saturday last. The

rubbish in the water, while the other
made snare with wire and slipped
il along It's body until they were able
TO get its head and forward parts loose
from a limb around which il had cOiled
in the water. The serpent had very
large fangs and we should have pre-
ferred different mode of warefare.

rattle snakes, the largest Of which was
the pOssessor of n string of rattles num-
boring To- These snakes were killed
upon the bluff about miles north of
the city aud in the Picardy eouley.
These boys have killed great many
of the yellow beauties every season,
killing AS high as 4S at one time The
ages OF those killed on Saturday last
ranges from 10 10 years as shown by
the number Of raitles. Last season
while making their annual tour OF ex-
termination one of the brothers was
bitten upon the hand, but fortunately
no serious results followed. These boys
have lived in that neighbOrhood for l6
years and think that on an average
they have killed % rattle snakes each
pear. This would make total of 400
snakes killed by this family alone. and
that isn't much Of country for snakes
either. We have in our office some OF
the finest specimens of the ornaments
taken by these BOYS which can be seen
