 Congressman Oliver also writes a letter in which he states that he is so interested in his home town obtaining g the benefit of these reasonably prices that he is willing to personally defray the expense of a purchaser to visit the St. Louis depot and personally inspect the goods. It is probable that Mayor c. B. Robertson will make the trip.
 Congressman Oliver says in his letter. in part: T am hopeful thatGa lower price will be quoted on the vegetables, since I question whe ther. on the prices quoted, much saving will result. The war department may prob ably quote a different price early next week, and even though purchase is made on the basis of prices quoted in the letter, cities buying will be given the benefit of any lower prices hereafter made. I sincerely hope that the supplies can be purchased and distributed to our people at a great saving
 Local interest in the proposition is keen and while the prices on vegetables are not as low as were expected, and the impression got abroad that the whole list would be sold at a flat re- duction of 20 per cent less than cost to the government, even at that the goods represent a substantial saving on pre- vailing retail prices.

Tuscumbia, July 1S-(SpectalD After enduring intense suffering for two days from the bites of a rattlesnake, received while he was demonstrating his faith in the religion he had accepted and tn the power of the Almighty to save those who put their trust in Him, Cleveland Harrison, g years old, a young farmer of this county, is dead. Harrison was demonstrate ing his faith at a meeting of the so-calIed Church of God. or |'Hely RoIlers,s near this city when he was fatally struck.
 During the progress of the evening services, which the young farmer was attending. the pastor fin charge of the meeting an- nounced that there was in the con- gregation one of the followers of his sect who had such great faith that he would allow n rattler to bite him, feeling sure that he was immune from the poison, as St. Paul at one time was fmmu from the strike of a serpent. Har- rison at once came forward, ac- cepting the invitation to demon strate his faith; and box con

tafning a large rattlesnake, the reptile measuring three or four inches around. was opened in view of the congregation.
 The minister stated that Hsr- rison had allowed himself to be bitten before, and surely there would be no harm result from the snakes bites. Harrison thereupon caught the snake just below the neck and allowed 1t to strike him five times in rapid succession on the arm between the elbow and wrist. Immediately he was seized with sickness, and after lingering for two days in great agony died, despite the attention and treat ment of physicians. Thc deadly poison had permeated his entire body.
 Harrison's death resulted in bringing the meeting the @HoIy Rollers" band to hurried close and 1t is likely that there will be no other member of the cult who will be willing to repeat the dem- onstration to illustrate the great faith that Harrison sought to ex- empiify.
 Harrison leaves a wife and two young children and was a hard working farmer and quite we'll known and liked in the district where he lived.
