Discovery And Is Watching For
Another Unbidden Guest.

Mr.. r. P. Gaddy, Of Marshville
township, killed two very large snakes
in his residence last Friday, one be-
ing found between the weatherboard-
ing and the ceiling and the other in
the middle Of a room. and on last
Sunday he found the third big snake
between the firebOard and chimney
and killed it, says the Monroe En-
Quirer. The snakes were enormous
ones, as large around as a mans leg
just above the ankle, and aCh one
measuring over five feet in length.
Mr.. Gaddy heard a peculiar scraping
sound between the ceiling and wealth
erboarding Of his house and he rip
ped off some Of the planks to see what
was making the noise and found to
his surprise a big snake. He got his
shotgun and killed the snake and
when he went to put up the gun he
saw another reptile in the middle of
the room. Mr.. Gaddy is sure there is
still another snake in his house, for
he has heard hat peculiar sound he
heard before he killed the first snake
over behind the ceiling, and he is
keeping a sharp watch for it. The
| reptiles killed were white and yellow
spotted and had very small and sharp
pointed heads. a great many people
have seen the snakes and all who
have seer them say that they have
never seen snakes like them. We
arise to state we would not try TO
sleep in that house in which the big
snakes were found until the weather
