black snake lay stretched at full length.
quietly taking its rest, and looked like
a most unwelcome visitor. The young
ady's first thought was that some very
practical joker had placed an imitation
serpent there to have some fun. Bend |
ing over to more closely examine the
imitation, she was surprised |
and Mortified to see the reptile was
alive and very mnch satisfied with its
visit. The cutlery resulting quickly |
drew the rest of the women folks to
the scene. Discussion on the proper
method of eviction failed to discover
any suitable expedient. Mrs. R. G.
Pettus proved herself a heroine and
ended the dilemma. The plucky lady
grabbed the snake and carried it out
sids where it was killed.
