An Alligator Story.

A gentleman who recently mov~
ed from Florida to this county we
are told says that alligators were
so numerous in the section where
he lived that on one occasion he
killed 700 in two hours with a
grubbing hoe. He also claims he
lost right snug little sum of mon
ey by not knowing the market
value of their teeth as a man who
afterwards passed by the spot
where he had s ain the alligatorS
gait cred up the teeth and sold
them for $500 Irwin (Ga.) News.
Gee whiz! That's little fellow
When we were down On the Anna
ION River three years ago we were
lucky in killing alligators, We
had for our destroyer a small bug
similar to the hornet which when
thrown into the alligator's mouth
would sting him at the base Of his
tongue and the sting was so pois
OnOus that the swelling would
soon choke him to death. We
killed this way on our trip 656 692
$50 076 large alligators and sold
their carcase5 to a soap factory for
just ever five million dollars
