Braidentown Journal: There Is a story
ing she rounds now which is pretty rough
on j. w. Porter and Lawyer Stewart of
this town. Passing q certain millinery
store on Main street one evening lately a
large white snake began to crawl along the
path in front of them. Mr.. Stewart bolted
across the palmettos as the story goes, aud
MIR. Porter started in another direction for
stuck. Returning, both gentlemen
pounded the snake vigorously without any
apparent result 1t continued on regardless
to the side of the store and then, wonderful
30 relate, went right up the wall and into
s. window. At this point some one in the
window laughed, and it dawned upon
Iessrs. Stewart and Porter that they had
been chasing a white cotton snake for the
pleasure of a select company instead of a
terrible cottOn-noth moccasiu, as they
imagined.
