An exchange says; "What a mos
quitoe uses when he bites is made up
OF his attenor, his clypens, his hypo-
pherynx, his lablum epipharynx,
his labium, his madibles and his max
illor." We can believe that, and
more too, since there has been an
army Of them roosting on our pro-
boscis and other exposed portions of
our anatomy every night for the
past month.
Bill DAVIS and a young man, from
Knox county were hunting near
Ellejoy and had lain down to rest
when the Knox man says: "Let me
shoot your foot" The gun was not
cooked so Davis put up his foot and
told him to fire away. The gun fell
from the hands of the stranger and
the cock striking his knee caused it
to 60 off. The bullet went through
two toes and broke the bone in the
third one.
