few moments after which Mr., Futch snot the
snake. 1t had twenty rattles, and was nearly
eight feet long
brunswick Call: Since strict police sur

Telfair Enterprise: The money panic is

ing the people lessons OF economy. Inc coun-
try for the past few years has been Wlld as

that a check Of some kind Is sent upon IL:

Houston Home Journal: Incredible as 1t
may seem, ii is a fact that we saw young
lady of Perry XIII a snake one day last week.
She at first uttered an indeScribable little
scream, and then with piece Of timber she
attacked the reptile vigorously, and with
deadly eject That the snake was quite
small does not render the incident less
strange, any more than does the fact that the
young LADY is decidedly pretty This reporter
came upon the scene just as the head OF the
snake was bruised beyond recognition
CordeIe Cordelean: Down here in the wire
grass the golden ears Of corn hang heavy in
the shuck, and the cotton fields are swapping
their green coats for one of snowy Wilderness,
The crops are made and the work Of harvest
ing may be said TO have fairly begun. A
plenteous reward assured. the question which
perplexes the farmer the most is the price OF
cotton-what will his produce bring In the
markets of the world? The present outlook
bespeaks a very low price and certainly
BODIES no prosperity to the farmer who has
made cotton his chief reliance.
Albany News and Advertiser: Cotton is
coming in pretty freely now, and unless the
rust and caterpillars get in their deadly work,
the crop promises well. These deadly foes
however, are playing havoc il some sections,
but II the weather clears up we have no APP
prehension as to the result. Albany, justly
by her position and numerous railway lines
has long been conceded the cotton centre for
Southwest Georgia, and the fact that her
prices this year are ahead Of any that is
offered in this section will be the cause Of her
receipts being greatly increased the present
season.
A gentleman writes to the Louisville News
and Farmer to describe what appeared to him
to be, and doubtless was, the very curious
antics of fragment OF paper dominated by
wind currents. He says: sunday afternoon,
the 18th of August, my attention was called to
what appeared to be piece OF paper about
the size OF small plate floating in the air
short distance above my garden. II remained
suspended in about the same position for sew
eral minutes, when it gracefully drifted away
toward the sky shining all the while. And
the last seen Of il was through vapOrY cloud,
where il shone and twinkled like a tiny star
in the far-off heavens. IL drifted behind and
beyond dark cloud that hay lowering by,
and was seen no more.
Montgomery Monitor: One day last week
MeSSrs. John Miller and John Wilcox were
out fishing and found a large, rusty water
moccaSln, which they dispatched AS the
snake was very large for its length, they cut
it open ana were astonished to find inside the
old snake twenty-eight young snakes foot
long. They were enclosed, each separately,
In membraneOus sacks which we're attached
TO the old snake on each side the backbone
for distance of Is or 20 inches. They were
alive, and when the sack enclosing one would
be ruptured the little fellow would run out
fighting end first and try to bite. They were
all killed, making some 80 odd lineal feet Of
snake at one thrashlng. And 1t was not much
OF day for snakes, either.
