FOE OF THE RATTLESNAKE.
Reptiles Of a Dlne rent Specie s in Al
ALBANIA XIII Them on ny
Thousands.

"Every summer I sojourn among the
mountains of Jackson county, not far
from my home," said Ben T.. Hunt, a
prominent newspaper man of Hunts
vile, Ala, reports the Washington
Post. '.When l first went there some
years ago / stood in mortal dread of
the rattlesnakes which were said to in
fest the region. The particular noun
tain on which my log cabin stood had
a reputation as the ha bitat of innumer-
able rattlers and every morning when
went forth to shoot squirrels I feared
encountering some of the dangerous
reptiles.
I'm all the years of my visits to the
mountain I have never yet seen live
rattlesnake, but number of them
after they were slain by some of the
mountaineers. The natives do not
stand in much awe of the snakes, for
they know of sovereign remedy
certain oil that has never yet failed to
cure a person after being bitten.
Every countryman in that mountain
keeps a bottle of this Oil at his home
and one hears many wonderful stories
of the cures it has wrought.
"But a worse enemy to the rattle
snake than his human foes is member
of their own family-the black snake.
I have come across several reputable
men in the mountains who have wit
messed with their own eyes these
snakes in deadly combat. According to
their unanimous testimony it is always
q fight to the death and the blacksnake
ever comes out victorious. In fact, it
is purely match for his willy opponent,
who glides round and round his clumsy
antagonist till he gets either dazcd or
tired out. Then at the opportune time
the black jumps on the RATHER, catches
him by the back Of the neck and enfo1ds
his helpless victim, crushing him, boa
constructor fashion. until life is ex-
tinct.
Numbers Of mountaineers who have
seen these strange encounters say they
never knew RATHER to escape"

WOOL SITUATION.
Wool Dealers Predict Rise From the
Present Prices.


Some of the best informed wool
| dealers say that prices will not go
lower for some time to come. They
go still further and predict that the
manufacturers will have to pay
more than the present prices before
the snow flies. Stocks of both do
mestic and foreign woods in the
hands of the dealers have not been
smaller for a long period than they
are today, and good deal of wool
is being sold, say these dealers.
One large house claims to have sold
more wool during July and August
of this year than for the same two
months last year. The foreign wools
are extremely scarce on this side of
the water, as it is impossible to i'm
port them. owing to better prices
being secured abroad. Only 100000
bales will be offered at the London
sales which open September Is, and
less than 100000 bales can be Of
fered at the November sales. 1t is
said that manufacturers in this
country are holding off. as they ex-
pect a break in present prices very
soon. Dealers are sure they will
be disappointed in this, and when
these manufacturers are forced to
come into the market to buy prices
will move up.

Officers of Salvation Army to
the People of Roswell.

Having recently come to your
city as officer in charge of the
Salvation Army Corps, l am
very desirous of bringing before
the people of Roswell a more
perfect explanation of the work
ings of this organization; the
"why and the wherefore" of it's
existence; the steady growth in
the twenty-four years of it's
existence, and the way it is be-
ing used by God Almighty as a
means of reaching the great
masses of non-church going peo-
people.
The Army is not here in oppo-
sition to any church sect what
ever. God forbid! We need our
churches today as much as we
ever needed them, and there is
as much need of good chris :
ians in our churches as in the
Army. The churches have their
wor6 to do and the Army has
it's work to do, and God speed
the work of both is my prayer,
and may We all work in harmony
for our Lord and Master, Jesus
Christ. As christians there
ought to be but one feeling be-
tween us, and that a feeling of
love. We should have the same
interests at heart; that of see
ing souls saved and the Masters
Kingdom extended not only
among the church going class,
but also among the class that
perhaps never enter a church.
Christ died for all, and every
human eng has soul, and
that soul is very precious to
Him that gave up His life for it.
On Saturday, October 3rd, at
8 p. m, | shall endeavor to give
a talk on the workings
of the Army, its connec-
tion with the churches, a
brief sketch of it's Rescue and
Ex, criminal homes, the world
over, also of its farm colonies,
and it's progress in general for
the past twenty-four years.
Everybody is welcome.

well Corps, my books, or those
ofthe treasurer, are open to the
public for investigation. lam al

THE WOOL MARKET.
Interesting Clipping From Mems
journal of Chicago.

The wool market is quiater this
month in comparison with last,
when manufacturers secured enough
wool for their temporary wants.
Prices, however, are steady and
firm. The trade, as a rule. have
been unable to secure their usual
quantities of wool in places of pro-
duction, and regard their present
holdings of wool as a good asset.
The situation is very strong today,
as the domestic clip, it has now been
demonstrated beyond doubt, is from
100000 to 35,0OO,OO0 pounds short
of the amount clipped last year, and
the surplus of wool carritd over last
year has gone into consumption,
making the deficit upwards of 4O,-
100000 pounds, so that if the mills
run the balance of the season and
consume the average quantity. re-
course will be necessary to foreign
markets, which are higher than do
nestle, and are still showing an up
ward tendency.
The opening of the London sales
on the 18th. with merinos unchanged
and cross-breds per cent up, is
rather more favorable for continued
increasing prices thar had been ex-
pected.
In view of the fact that some of
the cross-breds now selling at Lon
don are SO per cent higher than they
were at this time last year, the feel
ing was growing that prices could
not forever keep climbing upward,
and that the top must nearly have
been reached.

Missouri Philosopher on Babies.

about babies, moved thereto appar-

of babies in Missouri, which, he
has concluded. from the extensive
displays at the county fairs he has
visited, is uncommonly large. "A
baby" he says, after having COM

rary output, serves a manifold pur-
pose in the world. He makes men
and women more unselfish and fur
nishes the amount of trouble neces-
sary to keep them comfortably busy.

doctor an excuse to look wise. A

generous son and brother.
Resolved, That this Local tender
its sincere and heartfelt sympathy
