Mr.. Tyler PARROT. of Campbellsville,
was badly bitten by a copperhead snake
Sunday of last week. He and young
lady were out buggy riding and they
noticed snake crossing the road.
Tyler alighted to kill the reptile, and
he concluded he would do it the old
time way, catch it by the tail and jerk
the head off. The snakes tail was
protruding from under fence rails, and
Tyler slipped up and took hold. and as
he did so the fangs of the reptile were
fastened on his hand, the snake having
drew his head to where his tail was.

A Good Piece of Road.

Mr.. 10. N. Conover, the road SUPER
visor, has just completed the road be-
tween the corporate limits of Columbia
and the bridge over Russell creek on
the Somerset road. A splendid grade
was made and coat of crushed stone
ten feet wide and six inches deep was
placed thereon. A large part of it is
well packed already by the heavy traffic
and within a short while it will be as
smooth as the best street in town.
There is not doubt as to the worth
of this road and will prove the import
ance of spending the road tax in a
manner that is lasting. This road
stands a monument to the supervisor
of public roads, Squire Eubank. Judge
Hancock and county attorney Paul
Smythe. 1t is blessing to the people
who use it and should inspire greater
efforts along the same line another
year. The beginning is good so let us all
keep the work going.

Mr.. j. F. Reynolds brought to this
Office two leaves from plant found in
his woods that measured 1913 inches long
and "a wide. The plant was first no
ticed in the summer of 1907 and last
winter it died to the surface. In the
Spring it came again with renewed yig-
or and has attained height of 10 to IL
feet and stem to 8 inches in diam
eter at the ground. The stem is well
loaded with size leaves above mention
ed. Evidently it is a member of the
palm family, but by what means it
reached its present location is as much
a mystery as its growth is peculiar.

A Bird Charmer.

While sitting on the poarch at the
warehoure at Athertonville last Satur-
day my attention was drawn to small
boy, creeping or crawling, catlike on
the ground, toward n English Spar
row little distance away. When in
about eight feet of the bird he stopped,
lay fiat down with open mouth and
hands, with eyes fastened on the bird.
The bird at once began hopping quietly
to the boy, and right up into his hand.
The boy then rose up with the futter-
ing little Sparrow, seeming as much
scared as if it had not been hypnotized-

Mr.. Jesse Sapp was here last Mon
day, and stated that our articles in the

women Comeouters, who preached in
the eastern portion of this county, were
partly incorrect He says the preach
ers did not require the women in the
congregation to remove the ribbon and
feathers from their hats and that the
sect do not practice the holy dance.
They hold to the doctrine of Christian
simplicity in wearing apparel. W e
give this statement in justice to all
parties. With the exceptions named,

We publish elsewhere in this issue
an address read before the Teachers
Association at Glenville, recently, by
Mr.. Matthew Taylor, a former teacher,
and many years ago Superintendent of
the county. He does not like the new
school law, and intimates that its adop-
ton is a step toward mixed schools
The law is Objectionable, that is some
features of it. but there is nothing in
it to lead a person to believe that we
will have mixed schools. 1t is fact
that the present law does not provide
for colored children though the colored
people are taxed for school purposes.
For that reason we believe the law will
be declared unconstitutional.

The Lindsey Wilson opening last
Wednesday, was very satisfactory to
the management. New pupils entered
each day after the opening, and on last
Monday quite number matriculaled.
At this time every thing indicates that
the attendance this year will be fully
up to last year. All the teachers are
in their respective departments, and
will use their utmost endeavors to make
this the best year Of the institution. In
the meantime, we advise pupils who
have not already matriculated to do so
as quickly as possible. The sooner they
enter and are classified, the better it
will be for them.
