creek. The other day while walking across
the Held unconscious of danger Mr. Price
caught glimpse Of a swift moving object. In
an instant he realized that his leg was en-
c1rcled by a powerful snake. The reptile was
a coach whip about seven feet long and was
wrapped so tightly about his leg as to render
that limb useless. The frightful head OF his
was raised toward his face, and
Mr.. Price grasped the serpent by the neck
with one hand while with the other one he got
his knife out Of his pocket. He opened the
knife with his teeth and then attempted to be-
head his asSailant. But the wary serpent
kept lodging its head about so rapidly that
he turned his attention to the snake S body.

hide the snake quickly lOOsened its folds

bloody trail behind. But while Mr.. Prices
was entirely occupied with one
snake another one OF similar size had APP
pcared on the scene, and there it lay near by
with head raised. That gentleman began TO
call loudly for help. and his wife. who was not
far off. came TO the assistance Of her husband
and. with q hoe. dispatched snake No. > After
returning to the house Mr.. Price complained
Of smarting sensation on his back, and an
examination showed several whelpS there

must have been made by the keen tail of the
coach whip. The snake bit him on the hand
but that caused him no serious inconvenience.
Bank Examiner Campbell has lost his job
which was very pleasant one. Mr.. Camp
bell was the examiner who had charge of the
Gate City Bank Just after the failure. and he
wishes now that he had never heard of the in
Lewis Redwine was the indirect
cause OF Mr.. Campbell being let out. Mr.
Campbell went to the Gate City Bank on Fri
day, Feb. Is. and examined the accounts. The
first thing he did was to count the cash
Lewis Redwine, the assistant cashier, was in
IA tight hole. he had to exercise his wits, and
quickly, too. He did not have as much cash
in the bank as the books called for He
had borrowed, or did borrow, largely
from other banks to help out his accounts,
but he was still short few thousand dollars
He knew that there was danger of this being
discovered at any moment. So he called Mr..
to the vault and got him engaged
there examining some papers or cash. When
the examiner finished there Redwine handed
him the paying teller's drawer and he pro
ceeded to count it the second time, not sus-
pecting that he was being fooled, That was
clever him-fiam game as the circus grafters
call it. and it saved Redwine from detection
for the time being. Mr.. Campbell went
on his way feeling that the Gate
City was all right He never suspected
RedWine, and made report on the
bank which showed it up in proper shape.
That deception came out later Redwine told
1t when he was fugitive and il was repeated
after he was captured. Indeed, he told it
after he was under arrest. 1t reached the de-
partment at Washington and, after consider
ing the case for some time, IL was decided by
the controller of the currency Mr. ECkelS
that he would let Mr.. Campbell go and put
Mr. Campbell should have been more fly and
not allowed Redwine to fool him so easily.
Mr.. Campbell IS from Montgomery, and has
been an examiner for good while.
Athens Banner: II there was brave and
valiant band in the ARMY of Northern Vir-
ginia il was the Troup Artillery made up of
the brave sons of Clarke county and the ad-
joining section. 1t passed through many bat
ties and on one occasion especially rendered
invaluable service to the confederacy. At the
battle of Sharpsburg il did the most i'm
portant work of that eventful conflict and
preserved Lees army from rout. Gen. Heth
has determined to erect a monument to the
TrOup Artillery on the spot where its brave
members did such heroic fighting. He has
written the following letter to Capt. Ii. H
Carlton: Dear Captain-Wtll you be so kind
as to inform me, first, where your battery was
on the morning Of Sept. Il, 1862; second when
the battle OF Sharpsburg opened where YOU
did your hardest lighting during the day:
third, where you bivouacked the night OF the
18th after the battle closed The second
inquiry Is the most importantas we propose
TO place there monument commemorative
the part taken by your battery on that day
Respectfully, II. Heth." Capt Carlton has

at daylight at Williamsport. and reported to
Gen. kershaw, and he turned us over to Gen.
