Big Rattler Killed.

J. D. Brock. colored farmer, who lives on the St. Francis river, three mile north of Madison, was in town Saturday and tells story of having killed monster rattlesnake on his farm last week. He says he was going through his cotton field and had stopped to pull a watermelon that was growing in one of the rows, when he heard the snake rattle, and discov- cred him coiled in the center of the vine ready to strike. He secured a stick and put an end to his snakeship. The reptile measured five feet, eight inches in length and had fifteen rattles and a button.

 Upon the return of John c. Olmsted landscape architect of the Panama-Cali fornia exposition to San Diego, selection | of the space Brazil will occupy durinl | the exposition will be made, and othe
 foreign nations will also be notified tha | the exposition officials are ready to ap | propriate space for them.
 | The official invitation from Presiden

 that the Republic of Mexico. and the Re publics of Central and South Americs
