gia Hancock and Mrs. John Barnes had
an exciting time with large moccasin

service, in crossing muddy place in the
road, Mrs. Hancock stepped on the snake
which entwined itself around her foot.
After kicking it off, the snake Immediately
attacked Miss Georgia and wrapped itself
| around her foot. She said it felt as though
it weighed ton. She freed her foot from
4
its grasp and in throwing it off it fell to-
wards Mrs. John Barnes, when the snake
wrapped itself around her foot She kick
ed it off audit made its escape. Strange to
say none of them were bitten. This is
vouched for as being true in every parties

The reunion OF Tlge Andersons brigade
takes place at Glover's Grove, Marietta.
on the 2lst inst There will be at least
300 old veterans present, to say nothing of
as many persons who will be present as
guests. 1t IS hoped that every family in
town and county will prepare basket of ed
ibles, and send or carry it to the grove that
morning and help make the occasion
success. 1t won't do for single person to
90 away from the reunion on that day hun
cry. Cobb county's reputation as being full
OF hospitable people must be creditably
sustained. Let everybody help that can.
1t will be the last time probably that these
old veterans will honor US with their pres
ence. Let US give them warm welcome.

vices here says that he is satisfied charcoal
water saved his life once during an attac
of typhoid fever.
