The soul is safe in heaven.

A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine OF thy face.

Snake Story.

S. d. Licklider informs the Herald
that while he and Roswell Gregory
were engaged last Friday removing a
brush fence OH the farm of Webster
Buhrman about two miles from town,
they discovered a blacksnake and at
once made war on it. Gregory struck his
snakeship with a club, stunning it,
when it made a dive for Licklider who
proceeded to get out OF the way, avoid
ing a collision by about Is inches. He
declares that at the time he had the
shivers and it is possible his hair
stood on end. Grabbing a fence rail
he brought it down with all his might
utterly demolishing the enemy which
measured fully seven feet. The battle
was of brief duration but quite inter
esting. The snake was the largest
killed in this section for many years.

wanting but a song from Mr.. Lamkin
and that was there, too. Indeed, the
crowd, which was in a thoroughly
good humor was inclined to impose
upon the good looking vocalist. Mr..

fine and that the rendering was per
