An Odd Variety of Water Snake.

An odd snake was discovered by 0.
+. Williams, of Partillo, Ga, who sent
it to DR.. Ellis brewery, of Griffin.
The body of this snake is no larger
than a very small knitting needle, yet
it is fifteen inches long. 1t seems to
be a very lively snake and is coiled
around some plants in a jar of water.
The movements of the little fellow,
and the fact that it remains most OF
time under water, would indicate that
it is variety of water serpent. Pitts
