county clerk should not know the
correct spelling of an electors name
living in that district. III this way

method about this to be merely an
accidental error or clerical mistake.
Besides, the same kind cf mistake
was made in Wilson county. Cor.

that they could not go back of the re-

A Snake Caught in a Mouse Trap

Mr.. Isaiah Kibler, one OF our well known
meat dealers, who resides on Narrow
Passage a short distance from town,
furnishes us with a snake story that goes
right up bead, and IS true in every re-
spect.
Mr.. KILLER set small mouse trap in his
smoke house and on examining it on
Tuesday found, to his surprise. that it
was literally loaded with snake. The
trap was a small box about four inches
long by two and a-half inches wide, with
a small hole for entrance not larger than
a mans thumb, with a small fitting lid in
side to cut off the escape of a mouse alter
getting caught. Into this small place a
snake, three feet long and at least three
quarters of an inch thick through the
largest part, had managed to crawl, and
when found was tightly coiled up inside
The snake was of a specious new to Mr.
Kibler, it being curiously spotted with
tail running to very fine, sharp point
that was hard as bone. Several parties
who saw it pronounced it horned snake
We will add that Mr.. KILLER is well known
among his friends as a strictly sober man.
