during n long ride on horseback, we

up and saw, by the light of the moon, a
big rattler crawling across my chest.

movement on my part that should pre-

Am Ant For a Pet,


One or tho queerest little pets ever
seen 10 the tame ant belonging to well
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
or ants In nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through tube that connects
with tho nests. One day he saw that
one Of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb Mt the end. When ho took out the
cork that closed the bulb, tho insect
came to look for the food, and he offer
ed 1T Home honey on the point Of n
needle, says the New York Tribune
The ant shrank back Mt first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with Its an
tenne. until 1t reached the needle
Soon II learned to take the honey Off
lts keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid Of living things,
and new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant Is now 80 tame that 1t quits
the bulb as soon as the cork Is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entist's finger. When It's meal is over,
1t does not try to hurry away, but
waits till its master lifts It OH q brsb!le
and carries 1t back to its nest.

Things Around Cedar Rock.

While ain waiting for the grass
to come up again l will tell the
good people what timely rain we
had last week and how much it hat
helped our little stunted crop. We
were getting somewhat disheartened
and had not tho good book told us
that rained on the just and the un
just alike,we would have thought it
a punishment for our shortcomings,
Grain harvesting is pact and the
farmers are discouraged with their

Fruit of all kinds promises a
fairly good yield this summer. Our
canning establishment at Easley
should be at work now while the
canning season is on.
We noted with pleasure the ad-
vertisement Of bridgeletting at
Rlces ford in the near future. That
is n step in the right direction, and
one that will be appreciated by tho
people in and near the Keowee sec>
tion. The building of this bridge is
crowning act Of the present county
board s administration. I believe
the bridge would have been built
during MIR. Looper's term had Oco.
nee helped us.
The organization of a Baptist
church at the Williams cemetery
may be counted an established
