A Snake as is a Snake.

We have forgotten the names of
the principal actors but the follow
ing story is true or we have the
ability to prove that Eli Keller is
a prevaricator of no ordinary abili-
ty.
1t is said that gentleman liv-
ing ON SCOTS creek about four
miles south of town recently kill
ed a blacksnake over ten feet in
length and fifteen inches in cir
conference at the thickest part of
the body. A protuberance at a
part of the body caused the slayer
to open the reptile at that point
when the matter was satisfactorily
explained by the finding of a whole
full-sized squirrel within. Now we
challenge the adjoining counties to
furnish from their worn out snake
pastures a snake of any species,
from the garter-snake to a python
equal in size and activity to this
monster from the fertile wilds of
Hooking.
Mr.. Keller has killed so many
copperheads this season that we
fear to state the number for fear
some one unacquainted with him
might doubt the tale.

Boy Drowned.

A Ave year old son of Thomas
Alexander, Of New Straitsville,
was drowned on Monday last in
the pond near one of the mines.
The water was about four feet
deep and was favorite place for
bathers whose antics had often
been viewed by the little fellow.
After dinner on the fatal day the
little fellow took his little two year
old brother with him and went to
the pond, which is near his home.
Nothing more was seen or heard
uuptil a considerable time had
elapsed when laborer met the
younger child coming from the
pond carrying his brothers clothes
and crying, but when asked what
was the matter he failed to make
himself understood until he reach
ed his father and amid sobs and
tears informed him that "Walter
was in the pond"
The father realizing that some
thing was wrong ran to the pond
and with loud shouts for his son
began search of the bushes on
its skirts.
Failing to fnd the boy it was
suggested that search of the
water be made which search was
after a short time rewarded by
finding the body near the shore in
about four feet of water.
The body had been in the water
it is thought about one and half
hours and no effort at resuscita-
tion was made.
The parents are heartbroken by
| the calamity and have the sympa-
| thy of the whole community.

The Supervisor Question.

The charge made by Corunna, to divert
attention from the true merits Of the
measure, that the removal of the county
seat to Owosso is involved is so manifest
| eddy false that it cuts no figure whatever.
| To show the absurdity of the charge it is
only necessary to consider the compro.
mise which Corunna desires. Corunna
is willing that Owosso should have five
supervisors, provided Corunna is left
| where she is. In the first place, this
compromise would not rectify the pres
ent inequality between Corunna and the
townships-two wrongs never make a
right. In the next place, Owosso has
pledged her honor to the fourteen town.
ships that are asking for the passage of
the bill, that she would not ask the pres
ent Legislature to increase the number
of her supervisors. Owosso qOiU keep that
pledge. But to show the absurdity of the
charge let us notice the effect of the
equalization bill and the would-be effect
Of the Corunna compromise.
At present two-thirds vote necessary
for the agitation of the county seat ques-
tion) on the Board is 15-requiring IL
supervisors outside of the city of Owosso.
If Corunna is reduced to one (Which is all
she is entitled toy a two-thirds vote would
be AL supervisors outside of OUosso.
If the number of Owosso's supervisors
were increased to 5 (the compromise de-
sired by Corunna but not by Owosso), a
two-thirds vote would be 1911 supervis-
Ors outside the city of OwoSSo, EXACTLY
THE NUMBER REQUIRED If CoRUNNA is RE-
DUCED TO ONE AND Owosso REMAINS WHERE
SHE IS.
The absurdity of Corunna's charge is
seen in the fact that her suggested COM
promise would give Owosso the same rel
alive power on the Board as the present
measure.
Owosso desires neither the county seat
nor more Supervisors, but she does de-
sire to stand by the large majority of the
Supervisors of the coonty in their en-
deavor to get justice.-Press.
