Marion County Patriot: A few
days ago while Rob Stevens was
out hunting in George Munro's plan
tatlon he stopped tired and thirsty
to drink from spring which came
from the root of an old dead white
oak tree. Laying his gun down by
the side of him he stopped to quench
his thirst when he heard the un-
earthly noise of deadly rattlesnake
very near to him. He raised his
head from the spring, startled by
the noise, and before he had time
for thought the deadly reptile was
swapping his fangs within few
inches of his face. Fearfully fright
ened Rob intuitively fell back in an
opposite direction from the snake
and out of his snakeship's reach.
He picked up his gun and fired, kill
ing the snake the first shot, The
snake was very large one and had
twelve rattles, and Rob had mar
row escape from instant death.
There is a big boom in factory
stocks in augusta. The demand for
mill securities is very strong, and
but little stock being offered. The
high price cotton is bringing had
necessitated an increase in the price

advance in securities. The Augusta
Factory stock has jumped up over
| fifteen points in the last two weeks,
anG is still going higher. A fort
night ago you could have bought
this stock for 755; today it is worth
80. The 6ibley stock is selling al
81, which lisa considerable rise. Sell
ers are asking 1899 for King Mills
stock, which is an increase Of a
point and half. The Enterprise
Factory stock remains about the
same, and there has been but little
fiuctuation in these stocks recently.
The good prices cotton is bringing is
not only increasing the value Of mill
securities, but is giving boom to
all classes OF business.
