Dark Corner. Oct. 2o.--weil. I
don't know whether this IL a good
week for snakes or not. but there have
been 90 many of them killed here this
week that I thought would write
them up for the watchman and
sovthron.
Mrs r. p. Weeks killed q large
moccasin on Weeks mill dam: Mrs.
Hen Geddings killed another; Mrs. w.
J. Ardis found nve-foot chicken
snake In hens nest eating eggs and
she soon despatched his snakeship.
Mr.. T. ID. Weeks was breaking corn
and gathered q green stripped snake
two or thre feet long up with an ear
of the corn. The snake wrapped
around his arm. but an he had the
snake by tho head II could not bite
him. Last Wednesday Mr.. e. p.
Weeks walked up on a large rattle
snake In the public road. He shot
and killed the snake. 80 We will have
20 hail him az Col. Weeks after this.

Irvington and Custer Pike Will be Built

Being a member of the committee
selected to solicit subscriptions for tie

word The committee is composed of
a dozen citizens who are distributed
along the proposed route; they are to
solicit aid in money and labor to defray
cost of construction. A pike then built
by subscription. No bonding the county.
No increase of taxes. A free pike
when we complete 1t. And we expect
to build it from Irvington to Custer.
But it is that section extending from Ir-
vington to Bewleyvlle "a miles) that l
am directly interested in and author

ing to you about. | say this to you.
The pike from Irvington to Bewleyville
will be built If you along the route and
others who will benefit from its use
will come to our aid and subscribe
money or labor in proportion to your
ability. 1t can be built for very little
money, but it will take lots of work.
For those of my name who live in this
good section l will say: we stand ready
and anxious to furnish engine power to
crush the stone for this four miles of
road free of charge il it is necessary.
Or engine power for grading or hauling
or both. Further, Mr.. II. S. Bandy,
who owns farm along the way and
who also owns two traction engines,

that with this engine power we could,

SAVED BY A DREAM.
The Vision That Came In Slumber
Warned Her From Death.


1 have. never chad much faith in
dreams, but about year ago l had
one which was the means of saving
my life. and since then l scott no
longer.
1 dreamed one night that the figure
of an old man dressed in black ap-
preached me and asked, "Are you
ready?" l, taking him for the ''angel
of DEATH" shuddered and replied, mo"
and the figure vanished.
When awoke and related the dream
to my mother she told me not to worry
over it, as bad dreams usually meant
good news.
A few days later l had occasion to
visit girl friend at her office in
large office building. At the conclusion
of the visit my friend walked with me
to the hall, where we waited for the
elevator to take me down. When the
elevator car came to our floor l was
still talking to my friend, and the ele-
vator runner inquired, "Are you
ready?"
was about to say Eyes" and step in
when the question struck me, and l
glanced at the elevator runner.
Immediately drew back and replied,
mo; never mind; I'll wait for the next
car"

FRET ZlNG WATER.
How tho Gre wsh of Ice Crystals May
Be M.,4e Plainly Visible.

Be M:iSe Piainiy VtSibie.
It is not co lmonly known that fresh
water may sometimes be colder than
Ice and that the growth of ice crys-
tails may be made plainly visible. An
interesting experiment to show this
may easily be made.
Fill Il clean pint bottle with distilled
water. Make a hole in the stopper
large enough to let a thermometer
pass through it. The kind of ther-.
mometer used in physical laboratories
is most convenient. Insert the stopper
in the bottle AID let the thermometer
reach nearly to the bottom. Pack
snow or ice and salt round the bottle
as you would pack an ice cream
freezer. If the bottle is not Jared
the temperature may be seen to drop
several degrees below the freezing
point without freezing the water.
If the stopper and thermometer are
now removed and a small piece of ice
free from any trace of salt is inserted
in the bottle and pushed down into
the water, crystals of ice may be seen
to shoot out in all directions from it.
After this experiment has been made
it will be interesting to observe the
much slower growth of ice crystals in
the quiet pools of clear water that you
sometimes see in spring and fall, and
YOU will have some understanding of
