The First Snake Story.

The first snake story OF the season
has been handed in by our friend, Mr..
Sam Williams. 1t should toe said thai
Mr.. Williams is a strictly sober man,
and believes in Temperance all the way
through. He is not likely to see
snakes unless snakes are there. and
hence his story is entitled TO credibili-
ty.
He was crossing the mountain from
Thompson Valley into Tazewell, when
he met "A snake in the road. Mr.. Viii
liams didn't seem to know what kind
OF snake it was except that it was
spotted and about $50 long" Being
pretty badly frightened, perhaps. he
did not take particular notice How
ever, Mr.. Williams was proud to state,
that, after some trouble he killed the
snake. He Numbered, however, i'm not
bringing the snake to town with him,
which would have cleared away all
doubt, as some people are naturally
skcptical about snake stories.
