on Frye's Creek.

Arthur Wilcher brought in a large
rattlesnake killed as he came to town.
The rattles were charred by the late
forest fire 70 almost powder. Ger
ltainly a strain Of saiamander must
have ayerted cremation of that SER
pent.
A large viper was killed just out of
the town limits.
Mrs. Edd Reid alarmed by prolong-
ed stay of her little fellows, who had
gone to the spring went in quest of
them TO find them engaged in capture
of large rattlesnake. The seven
Iyear-old boy had the monster pinned
TO the ground with a stick and told
his mother he intenced TO take II TO
the house to her. He said he heard it
"buzzing" as he went to the spring
land stopped and found it as he re-
turned. That the beg escaped seems
lprovidential, for he must have passed
dangerously near the reptile TO have
leNcited its rattle Of warning, and his
later experiences were truly miracu-
Ilous The woman crushed the ser
penis head but her heel was not the
weapon. Thought of the incident pro-
duces shudders. Truly there seems a
special Providence protecting chill
dren and the drunken.

wheel Of a buggy ran off edge of the
bridge precipitating driver across dash
without other damage than a shake

stopping on edge Of embankment. A
lgentle horse and the benignant Prov
lidence Just now environing us attest
THAT we are yet in the hollow of His
lhand. The hum and honk of auto and
lautO truck are frequent and familiar
as the one-time clstter of the scores
lof daily lumber wagons. 1t is notable
THAT a greater number of autoes than
of horse sprirg-vehicles passes daily.
Two of a small bunch of fat hogs
started from here to market last Sat
urday, were left dead on the roadside
and a third near Moreland added to
the loss.
Tropical hats and artic wraps are
