killed a few miles from town, on the

covered the earth a large rattlesnake.

Owing to the. ’'nclemency of the
weather Judge Buchanan did not
not reach here until late on Alonday
morning, hence Court did not convene
until late on that day. His charge to
the Grand Jury was strong and
forcible. That portion that refered to
carrying concealed weapons met the
views of old and sober citizens, and
they will be diligent 4 in bringing all to
justice gnflty of this offence. Several
cases were disposed of, both civil and
criminal.

Conductor James B. Johnson, of the
Georgia Road, bitterly denies the ru*.
oror that the Oconnee .bridge is in a
dangerous condition. This, of course,
is reliable, but the question is, is the
bridge upheld by ?any free passes? If
not, we would advise editors not to
trust themselves on it. It would be
better for them if they would walk to
Augusta and borrow Bill Moore/s polo
pony.'
When an Augusta man gets drunk
he generally falls into the Auguata
canal, It is good remedy. He is
