In coming up Mulat bayou in a
launch last Tuesday Bill Bombay said
he saw an object ahead of him floating
which at first he thought was a stick
but seeing that it was going against
the tide he knew it was a living OBJ
ject. He quickened his speed and
coming alongside the object he saw
that it was a huge rattlesnake. TAX
ing a spike pole, or pike pole, he struck
the snake across the back with all his
force, laying him out" He then pushed
the body TO the beach, threw it ashore
and killed it for keeps. He measured
the snake and found later that it was
within two inches of six feet. The
snake bore twelve rattles and was of
huge girth. The snake was trying to
swim from the marsh to the Mulat
side of the bayou. He was making
this move, evidently, to be in dry quar-
tiers when the fall rains should sub
merge the marsh, which he intuitive1y
knew would happen.

MULAT.

Mulat, Sept. 13.-The cool rains here
for nearly the entire week would indi-
cate that the equinoctial tempest has
come a week or more before its usual
visitation.
The fall planting has been much
benefited by these rains, and vegetables
that have been on the market and gone
will in q few weeks be again ready for
market from fall crops.
Oranges and Japanese persimmons
will be ready for market in a very few
weeks and although there does not
promise to be. at the greatest, more
than two thirds the yield of last sea-
son, yet it is believed that the fruit
will be larger and better.
Thos. Callahan, superintendent Mrs.
Mary Smiths farm, has already
shipped several crates Of japanese per-
simmons. He knows when to pluck
them that they may not be too mature
upon their arrival at their northern
market. OF course he has to pluck
them in an apparently green state, but
how green he has ascertained by ex-
pertinent.
Mr.. Otis's rice field of two acres is
now heading out and good judges of
such crops say that this field will be

zens will have exhibits Of farm prod
ucts at Pensacola's fai-that is, if
they do not reconsider the matter later

and Genie Beck Of Cantonment, brought
down to Mulat on their launch a party
consisting of Mr.. Traxler, wife and
daughter, Mr.. B. NJ. Bombay, Jr., of
Roberts, and Mrs. Lou Cary and Mr..
Clarence Cary of Gonzalez. They came
to fish and anchored at the trestle
across Mulat bayou, and proceeded to
angle, but the wind blew so fercely
that fish lines could not be kept in the
water. The party waited patiently
until / o'clock, hoping that the wind
would abate, but as it seemed to in
crease in violence, Genie Beck pulled
up anchor and waved adieu, saying
that they would go up to the mouth
of the river and dredge up enough
oysters to make a t'jumblier'' (pro-
juble-a-ah). Genie says that
the word representing the dish may
be spelled in different ways, but that
there is only one way to make il right,
and that he knows that way, and al
ways makes it that way.
Mr.. Pat Robinson, Santa Rosa coun-
tvs popular tax assessor, was here on
