 Posey was an illiterate man and be- lieved with a superstitious fervor that. like Saul, he had seen a light and heard a still small voice" and so dis turbed was he that he abandoned his pillows and forge and tried to quiet his restless conscience on small farm; but scarcely had the first seed sprouted before he was bitten twice by snakes. -
 Without waiting to cultivate ms crop Posey went to Birmingham, Ala bama where he again took up his trade of black -smithing, thinking to put himself beyond the reach of the reptiles, for which he was beginning to have & morbid dread. He had scarcely settled himself in his new home before he was called upon one night to entertain an old friend ana going into the loft for bundle Of fodder for the latter's horse. he was bitten by a snake which had wrapped itself about the fodder.
 Posey's superstition had now brought him to the point where ne felt there was no use to flee the wrath of the Lord, which could search him

 A month before his death Posey drove into Iuka for a marriage license and exhibited to his friends his arms and portions of his body, which were puffed up and black and blue from the poison of the reptiles.
 He was wedding his watermelon patch when he got the eigth and fatal bite; after cutting away most of the weeds he took hold of one too near the vine to cut and was pulling it up, when a snake that was wound around 1t bit him on the arm He was Immediately at work applying remedies that had saved his life In former cases but this time there was no response to the treatment He grew rapidly worse and developed. to all appearances violent case of hydrophobia. biting and tearing at the bed clothes; going into spasms at the sight of water; barking and making violent efforts to bite his nurses.
