The weather was so bad that they could not find many, though enough to bring home a good mess each. They also killed a good many par tridges. They enjoyed to trip very much. People say that there are more rattlesnakes in the county now than there were a few years ago. The reason given for this is that deer are great enemies to these snakes and will kill every one they find. They watch his snakeship until he gets out of a coil so that he cannot strike when they jump upon them with their feet, their sharp hoofs cutting and killing the snakes. The deer have about , all been killed out and this ailows the snakes to increase, j Parties who have not yet paid their Guano Notes due the Far mer’s Supply Co., will please do so at once as this business must be closed up at once.
