j, A copperhead snake about
three feet long was found on the
dining table coiled around a
plate al the home of Messrs. J.
T. and D. F. Little one day last
week, and then there was con.
sternation in that home, for no
one knew where the snake came
from or how it got into the
house and on the table. The
house is well screened, and the
only solution was that a negro
who sleeps in the dining room
on some quilts brought the
snake in on the quilts from the
porch and dropped it off on the
table. But the thought of bring
ing the snake into the house in
his. arms struck terror to the
negro's soul, and he declared he
"sho would shake dem quilts

that he had bought the entire
crop for II cents. Then the

Mr.. ]. w. Laney underwent a
second operation in a Charlotte

ed on. Now it has failed again
and the doctors say it can't be
cured. The operation Saturday

Rev. r. w. Cato has been the
pastor of five churches this year
and he has just closed the last
protracted meeting. He tells the
following interesting facts he
has observed: In one church all
the members and nearly every
body in the community attend
Sunday school, and at this
church there have been ninety
additions during the year. At
another church where about
half the members attend Sun
day school there were thirty adj
ditions. At the third one only
about one third of the members
attend. and there were nine ad-
ditions. AT another about a
fourth Of the members 20 to
Sunday school, and there were
six additions. At the fifth place
there has been no Sunday school
and there were just four addi-
tions during the year. What
better argument can be given IN |
favor Of Sunday schools. |

A COUNTY SEED LIST

The publishing of a county seed list
is one of the recent progressive ven
lures Of the Sphinx County Farm I'm
provement association. This list con-
tains the names of farmers in the
county, the kind and amount of seed
they have for sale. and the price. The
motto is Home grown seeds are best"
The list was arranged by John E. Lar.
SON. county agent, and contains forty
three names. This feature of cooper
alton shows the value of organization
for farm improvement. The Sphinx
county association is working hand in
hand with the State College.
