In COUNTY JUDGES COURT.
Nan Charged With Assault and Battery
Acquitted by JurV.

Sunday afternoon CT. N. Sistrunk,
while driving by his field southwest of
town, saw some hogs inside and drove
them out. The hogs kept lowering
around the field and he told Tina Nc
Fashion, a small colored girl living on
the place with her parents. to run the
hogs off. The girl took dog along and
did as directed.
The hogs belonged to Handy Brimer,
a colored man. He came along and, so
the girl said, slapped her and chunked
the dog away. She ran home and told
her father, Abe McFashiou, and he had
Brimer arrested for assault and battery.
Brimer was given a hearing before
Judge Dekle Monday morning and
pleaded not guilty. The judge then
impaneled a jury, composed of the fol-
lowing citizens, to judge on the merits
of the case: w. Lake, L. d. Wall, J.

burn and 4. J. Griffis. There were no
witnesses and a verdict was given in
favor of Brimer. D. f. Knight was

A BUSY STORE.
N. LeVIIOD'S Progressive Methods Gain
Him LARGE PATRONAGE.

For several days this week the SIDE
walk in front of Leviton's tore hi s teen
strewn with boxes of dry goods. Hls
fall and winter stock has been arriving
and it has been problem to find room
inside the store for all the goods he has
bought. For store that has been es-
tstlshed only little more than a year
the volume of business done by Mr. Levi
ton is little short of remarkable. His pro
gres>ive methods seem to have struck a
popular chord and the problem with
him is not how TO sell his goods, but
how to keep enough in stock to supply
rhe constantly increasing demands of
his customers. The invoices Of the drv
goods shipments rece ived this week foot
mp several thousand dollars and en-
brace most complete line, but Mr..
Levitou says it is already apparent that
he will have to order again in the neal
future.

AN ILLUSION OF EORTHERNEVS.
Idea That Florida Is Alive With Snakes
Entirely Erroneous.

Having lately Published some half a
dozen news stories about the killing of
rAttlesnAkes in various parts Of the
county, q friend tells rs that we viii
scare prospective settlers from the
northern states out of the idea Of COM
ing to Bradford county. why tAid
this friend Of ours, don't you know
ouf northern friends are Just getting
away from the idea that Florida is
working alive with all manner Of VEN
omous snakes, and when You publish
one of these snake stories every man
Jack up there who reads it has the old
dread come back over him and he reads
and re-reads the story and turns the de-
tails over and over in his mind until he
imagines that it would be dangerous 10
20 mile in our Florida woods without
q suit of armor."
The snake stories were told in the
Telegraph just as other unusual occur
rences are told. If rattlesnskes were
common here, such little incidents would
not be interesting enough to mention in
the Telegraph.
There have never been many snakes
of any kind in this section, as the land
is generally fat and the woods open.
It is safe to say that there are no more
snakes in the pine woods than Oh Coney
Island. There are few rattlers in the
swamps along the rivers, but they stay
there and are only driven out by the in,
undations caused by unusual rains, such
as we have had this summer. Were il
not for this circumstance we would have
had no snake yarns to tell.
There lives in Starke a veteran land
surveyor, who says that during his
twenty years of tramping though the
"snakiest" looking places in Bradford
county he has not come across a single
rattlesnske, and it is several years since
he Jaw . stump tail moccssin, the only
poisonous water snake here. Many
years ago there were few water rattle.
snakes, but they are all gone. The
razorbacks, the timber cutters, the tur.
pentiners and the woods fires have de-
stroyed the snakes. OF the slligStors,
which never did any worse than catch
an occasional pig, very few are left. A
Starke man took 3 weeks vacation on
the east side Of Kingsley lake. He was
hunting in that wilderness from morn.
ing till night every day and, wishing to
procure some rattlesnake skins for sow.
enirs, he looked for the reptiles along
the spring branches. But the only
snake he saw during the seven days wss
q small, harmless blacksnske.
So much for snakes. This section of.
fers inducements for everybody except
"Osco, who eats 'em alive" He would
starve to death here.
