MoNTEZUMA, GA, June S.-The Record
prints the following in its issue of to-day:
''Robert Jones, colored man who lives
near Henderson. in Houston county, told
the Record about a big rattlesnake he
killed few days ago. He relates that he
was In the field near his house at work.
His dog, near by, was barking at some OBJ
Ject, and as he turned to look he saw his
dog jump at least three feet in the air and
then yelled as if painfully hurt. The dog
started to him, and when in few feet
began to reel and fall, and in five minutes
he was dead. The face of the dog was
skinned from above the eyes down TO his
nose by the fangs of the maddened SER
pent. He told his boy to go the house and
get bis shotgun and pistol. When the boy
returned they started to look for the snake,
but could not locate him for some time, as
the peculiar rattle sounds as though it was
In every direction at the same time.
SHOT AT SHORT RANGE.
"The snake was found and the contents of
the gun fired into him at short range, while
still in his coil ready to strike again. The
load did not stop him from rafting and the
pistol then put two balls through his BODY.
but 1t did not diminish the singing the least
bit. They finally got two poles and had to
strike him at least dozen hard blows before
life was extinct His body was as large as
the crown Of derby hat. 81 feet long, and
bad forty-two rattles aud button, making
him 43 years old. His den was under a
large rock, and Jones thinks there are more
OF them in the den. 1t Is the largest snake
ever killed in this part of Georgia.

he might have Been Car Driver.
When Fist Comes Handy.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The great fig liter who is honoring Pitts
burg with his presence this week is not
travelling on his muscle so much as usual.
Everybody who has met him this time has
been impressed with the mildness and good
humor of the man. He is drinking little or
nothing, and there lies the secret of John L.
Sullivan's graciousness.
1t would not be extraordinary il success
had swelled the champions head, but it has
not, apparently. Somebody was talking
about Joe Goss, one of Sullivan's first antag-
onists. on Sunday evening, and the COM
ment of the great fighter was characteristic.
SAID he: ''If hadn't knocked the old man
out guess I'd ha' been driving street car
| now.n
Fancy Boston's pride behind pair of
| mules, with one hand on the brake and the
| other gripping the linesl
Mr.. Sullivan is a very handy man to have
around in a dramatic company that is
bothered by sheriffs and other legal tor
| ments.
Five or six years ago, when Sullivan was
playing with Lester and Aliens Ministries,
in Now London, Conn, the company had
trouble with a man from whom bale of
hay used In the performance as property
had been borrowed The hay had not been
injured at all-it was employed to lend
realism to plantation scene-and the owner
/ could have taken it back at the close of the
engagement had he been SO inclined. He
had been paid for his trouble in tickets for
the show, but i / addition he demanded the
value of the bale in cash. This was refused
him, aud he threatened to attach the COM
pany's effects
He made good his threat by appearing at
the depot just as the company was getting
aboard the train, breathing all kinds of
fearful things. With him was a deputy
sheriff, who was noted in New London as
its biggest and ugliest man. The deputy
had the name of being bruiser as well.
Sullivan was on the platform when the
pair came up, and the hay merchant told
the deputy to arrest the big pugilist. rightly
deeming him to be the most valuable piece
of property belonging to the company. The
deputy walked up to Sullivan and got out
the monosyllabie 81. /" before remarkably
calious left hand smote him near the jugu-
lar and he fell stunned to the ground. In
the subsequent excitement the train moved
out and the hay man was baked of his prey.

A TENNESSEE ROMANCE.

A Pretty Girl Runs Away and Marries
Tramp Whom She Nursed.
An interesting story comes from Green
Ridge in Robertson county, Tennessee, in
which handsome young man and a
pretty girl figure as its leading spirits.
Last fall stalwart youth of about twenty
two years made his appearance at the home
of a farmer in the surburbs of Green Ridge
and applied for work He was a tramp
with his worldly possessions in a bundle
slung across his shoulder and was hungry
and footsore and eager for job. The
farmer gave him trial, and being much
pleased with his labor, employed him reg
ularly.
In March the young man fell sick with
fever and for two weeks or more was very
Ill.
In the same village resided Essie Sullivan,
who was pretty and attractive, and the
daughter of a merchant in good circum--
stances She had seen the young fellow a
great many times, but had 10 acquaintance
with him as he was not attentive to the
ladies, but remained at home and attended
to his duties closely. The young girl had
doubtless been attracted by his persona
appearance, for when she learned of his sick
ness, she began sending him flowers and
then nice things to eat. At first, she went
no farther than the door, but was finally
induced to enter the sick room to receive
the invalids thanks.
As time wore on she grew holder and pro-
longed her visits, and in the kindness OF her
heart read to the afflicted youth. Life
was pleasant dream to them for several
weeks, and the rumor soon spread that they
would wed.
The report was confirmed last Tuesday
when the young people went to Nashville
| and were married. TIE girl left note be-
| hind saying that she had eloped as she knew
her parents would never consent to her we'd
dug a common laborer without a home and
unknown, but that she loved him, and had
rather share poverty with him than live in
ease and comfort without his protecting
love and care.
