COPPERHEAD SNAKE IN KITCHEN.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. VIII
Turner of this city while calling at
the home of Mike Hanlon at
Millers run had quite an experience
Mrs. Hanlon and herself were In
the kitchen, the screen door was
fastened and had been for some
time, when suddenly the ladies
noticed that very large snake was
coiled on the floor near their feet
Hastily looking around for some
thing with which to kill 1t, Mrs.
Turner caught up heavy ironing
board with which she hit the rep
tile and then letting the board drop
down on the snake she stood on 1t
and together the ladies managed to
crush the life out of a huge copper
head snake. The poisonous oder
filled the room to such an extent
that 1t was nauseating and sufocat-
ing, and they had to 60 out In the
air leaving the dead snake plnio ned
to the floor until DR.. McAdoo and
some more of the neighoors came
and removed 1t.
1t was found to be very large
and ugly copper head snake and
the family were thoroughly fright
ened that II should have succeeded
In getting in their house.

Paine'scelery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused BY
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid Of this poisonous acid which produces the
iniiations, pains, agonies, i~niammations, and
swelings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. II IS the only
medicine that prevents a return Of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared Of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptomsj the early use Of Paine
Celery Compound viii save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. d. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured BY
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physiciansi he
says:-
al am "a years Of age, and have lived IN
St. Louis ~ years, and all this time with the
exception Of three years, / have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter / contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. I tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until l struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made a permanent cure IN my case
I have recommended il to many, and they
have used il with the same result"

Somebody wants to know why
there are 50 many weddings In
June. That Is easy.
June is the best month In the
twelve. Who wouldn't mate IN
Junef
It is the month Of fragrance, Of
romance, Of music, Of flowers.
Dame Nature puts on her wedding
fDery and looks her best. Her
gown is of deepest green; her gar
lands are roses in a hundred
shades; her voice is as liquid as
the purling OF a brook or the car
oil of a bird. June is happiness.
II has an atmosphere Of weddings.
The soft breezes are ireighted with
the signs Of lovers.
Yes, June is the best month Of
the year.
The best thing a young man
does is when he takes a wife and
enlarges the scope OF his life.
He is a better citizen after that.
He has decided to 'be unselfsh.
he has made a brave resolution to
be a home builder, a protector of
wemanly innocence, and a lover
always. He has taken a girl from
her home and has promised her
and himself that he will I'll the
place Of father, mother and hus-
band. He will try to be so big
and strong, sympathetic and kind,
that one woman will find complete
happiness.as bis life companion
her career in his home.
Perhaps he will fail. Too many
Of these er-laden barks
launched in June will 60 on the
rocks and find woe where blue
skies, smiles and music we're
sought.
But it is the way Of the world,
and it is worth while to try.
There are divorces and broken
homes. Men have not been pa
tent, and women have been fault
finders and frivolous.
All these things are not ills OF a
system, but faults OF individuals
that often could have been cured,
had love been made welcome and
pressed to stay.
The mismated are few, when
compared to the happy ones.
Most Of those June couples will
walk hand in hand the full Jour
ney, counting their best day the
one that united them-the time
that halved their sorrows and
doubled their joys.
There they go. She is ell in
white and sweeter than the roses
she carries. There are happy
tears in her eyes, and her voice
trembles when she speaks. He
looks severe, but manly. The
driver cracks bis whip and the
carriage Whirls away to the par
sOnage.
Good ~lucki-ViCksbnrg Ameri-
can.

The steady upward tendency il
the price Of cotton cannot be truly
registered as q freak of the mar.
ket. Everything points toward
shortage in the supply Of the great
staple, and the chances are that Il
will be many q day before oOttOI
can be bought again at such prices
as have ruled for the past few
years. The fact is, the world
needs more and more cotton every
year, while the increase IN it's pro
ductiOn is very slight, and the
present outlook does not indicate
an increase this season over last
year. Cotton really ought to sell
for 10 cents q pound, and it is not
10 proportion to the prices which
rule other products Of the farm
when it does not. The gamblers
have been able to hold it down for
a long time, but the tables are be-
ing turned upon them, and the
indications are healthful that the
raiser Of the product will for some
time to come receive Just returns
for bis toll.
