As snake stories are very fash¬ ionable we give the following true story: The other, day two large chicken snakes about six feet in length, climbed a long sleek pine pole,in Mr-.Etheredge's yard, at the top of which, was a martin box in which there were seven young martins, one of the reptiles ate five ot the birds and the other two and one of the birds eaten was an old one.

The mineral resomoes of Murray have for a considerable time in the past, attracted some attention, Ma¬ ny glowing, and in lact, quite fab¬ ulous stories have been told con¬ cerning the immense d posits of metalic wealth that lie hidden a rnong theCohutta mountains a long th° eastern portion of the county. But it is of a more recent date that some tests have been mads, showing that there is some¬ thing real in the long told tales of the great worth of ‘‘North Georgia mines.” During the present year a number cf tests have been made by experienced miners from vari¬ ous quarters, who say, that they have taken some specimens of ore, from the Murray mines, of the very finest order. And we think all that is needed to make this, rank with the most popular mineral re gions of the country, is capital and labor to lay open the rock ribbed bills and expose to the searching eye of man their time secreted contents. Our olimate, like the .vhole of “North Georgia,” is as. pleasant and genial as an Italian summer, noted for health, the first great es¬ sential to human happiness. Here the people,are not environed by endless fogs and mists, the greal producers of down cast, melanchol y souls,,hut the flsaky snows of winter andgentle showers ot spring arelquickly passed, and the way for passing hours is almost,constantly guided.ty a flood of light from a silvery moon, or an ocean of flame from the distant bud.

They gave the alarm at once and in a few hours fifty men were on the spot. It being out on the rugged moun tain, the coroner's whereabouts unknown, M W CloerJ. P. and C. L.
