Miss Fannie Norment's school open
ed Monday with fattering prospects.
Thirty scholars were present on that
day.
W. I. Gates ls making prepare
tions to build store house on the
lot east of w. g. Needham's store.
A section boss on the Midland
road killed thirty-fve snakes near
the first trestle from this town Mon-
day. When the mother snake saw
that danger was near. she opened
her mouth and the young snakes,
thirty.tour in number, ran one after
the other into the mouth of their
mother. After the section boss had
killed the old one, the young ones
came out from their place of hiding
and coDgregated upon the body of
their mother, and when ats eked,
fought in a desperate manner. At
ter killing them all, the section boss
put them in a basket and brought
them to town.
S. N. Duncan and Menefee Nor
ment have proved themselves to be
the boss fishermen from this neck of
the woods. On last Saturday they
caught at HulTs bend, gar weigh
ing SO pounds, besides 100 pounds
of good fish. They had rather an
exciting time with the gar before
landing him. 1t was caught with a
hook, ard after drawing it into the
skiff. they were afraid that its terri
BILE iashes, made in endeavoring to
free itself, would split the skiff in
twain, but they finally got ashore
and with an axe put an end TO its
existence.
