Mr.. and Mrs. George VI. Fleming,
this place, has a cat that is not onl!
fine mouser, but has developed a pen
chant to kill snakes. This cat is yer
fine one and wears ribbons and bells
through the pettlsh scheme Of Mis-
Ruby. One day last week she hear
the bells ringing vigorously. She wen
to the door and saw a fight in the yaI
shrubbery going on between the {
and a very large moccasin snake. IN
snake would dart its head at the ca
and she would knock the head OF IN
snake to one side with her foot ever
time Finally the cat grabbed q
snake by the back Of the neck an
shook 1t considerably. Mr. Flemlh
then came to the rescue and killed ~
snake with a stick A few days arc
the bells on the cat began TO Fi-

was in another combat with a mug

Editor Republican:-Often would
like to talk with my friends in Taney
but it is not possible for me to ad-
dress them all personally, hence ask
'Jim" to tell you through the Repub-
lican that ever remember the kind
ness Of Taney county people toward
me during my brief six months stay
at Forsyth last year. If in return
failed to reciprocate your kind acts,
can only say it was unintentioual on
my part. 1t plsases me to see with
what strides Taney county is coming
to the front. 1t certainly is a ques-
tion of only a short time when the
people who have SO persisteutly
worked for the advancement of the
country, will be able to accept great
loads of qualification as we'll as pecu-
mary profit from their energy.
Business in my little oIice has been
very good since the first Of the year.
Carload shipments from here during
January was 81, consisting Of hay,
grain and live stock. This month
promised equally as good, but on ac-
count of being unable to get cars we
may be short of last month shipments.
Our big days business this month
was lime cars Of live stock to Chi
cago. So much grain is ready for
movement that the company is utter
ly unable to furnish the required
number Of cars. Corn 10 worth % to
24e., oats &c.,, hogs $4.35 per cwt.
and cattle in q wide range from So to
$3.50 cws. Winter is q little more
severe this month than Dec. and Jan.
was, but it is short Of last Feb. and
we are thankful for it. Wish you
Forsyth people could get some nice
clear Il inch thick ice like we had
shipped in here this month. We had
12O tons shipped in for our two
creameries, it came from Adel about
80 miles south and cost only &c 2-3
cents per ton laid down.
