Joe Roach’s Snake Bite.
Editors Enterprise : Joe is better
around Lavonia than !
known any-
where else. Joe has often showed! pro-1
rne the scar on his leg that was
duced from the bite of a monster rat
tier. He told me that he heard
something coming through the brush
the side of the road, making 1
from a
hissing and roaring sound, and before
he could get the snake plunged !
aw ay
his fangs into the calf his leg. After
emptying his pistol into the snake’s j
body and using his knife he released
himself from the snake. He did not:
tell me the size of the snake, but it]
had 42 rattles and a button. He!
told me he drank 24 gallons of corn ]
whisky and swallowed 1- plugs , or ,
tobacco without making him drunk.
Joe carries the scar as an evidence
of the fact. W. O. T.
Some Good Farming.
Seventeen years ago Mr. Elisha
Snath and his three sons bought a
tract of land containing about
hundred and fifty acres, the most of
which was in woods, and bo light s the
land on a credit. Mr. Smith and his
sons went to work, clearing and
fencing, and soon had a splendid
farm opened. They have since
bought fifty acres more laud joining
the first lot. They have the entire
tract of three hundred acres paid for,
and in a splendid state of cultivation,
and are now ready and able to buy
more. During this seventeen years
Mr. Smith has not bought a pound of
flour or bushel of wheat, neither has
his family been without it, but he has
made it at home each and every
year. During the seven years prior
to the time spoken of Mr. Smith only
bought twenty-five pounds of flour.
This is a period of twenty-four years
and only one quarter sack of flour
boU f ht dttrin S the eiltir « tilne - This
family lias paid for a splendid tract
of land, and did it by farming, all the
time improving their land and mak¬
ing a good living, always making
their supplies at home. Their suc¬
cess is worth reflecting on by those
who arc always complaining that a
man can’t make a good living on the
farm.
Mr. J. W. Roach furnishes another
example of what energy and judg¬
ment will do if applied to farming.
Jim’s own words about the way he
started are interesting. Here they
are: “Twelve years ago I hired to
split rails to get one dollar and a
half to buy my marriage license with.
I went to town to get my license, but
got on a ‘high’ and spent my money
for whisky. When I got sober I saw
my mistake, and went back and split
rails for another dollar and a half
and bought my license and got mar¬
ried. Then I had nothing to go to
housekeeping with, and my father
had to stand at the store for me to
the amount of fifteen dollars before
I could begin housekeeping. I had
twenty-five cents of my own money
at the time I bought this fifteen dol¬
lars worth my father stood for, and
it was a great worry to me to decide
what to buy with it. I was about to
leave Athens for home with mv 20
• *
cents, when my wife said if her fath-
er gave her that cow she would need
a milk bucket.. This settled it, for I
bought the milk bucket and spent my
last cent. I rented land for three

A NIGHX IN THE MOUNTAINS.
A Partj of School Boys Viewing the
Grandeurs of Naturs.
On a Friday afternoon in May an
observer in the village of Hiawassee
could have seen a number of bovs
w ith staff in hand and knapsacks on
their shoulders moving quietly up the
slope southwest of the institute, with
a full determination to spend the
night on Georgia's king of moun-
tains—Mt. Enotab. After an hour’s
travel, which was a continual ascend,
wo reached Hockey, where we halted
a few minutes to slake our thirst by
a draught from an inviting spring.
after which we started towards our
destination with elastic step. Get¬
ting a view of the surrounding coun¬
try wo located the town of Hayes-
ville, and looking in the direction
from which we came we could see
the coxy little village of Hiawassee,
and the small stream called Hiawas¬
see creek, which winds its way like a
silver thread through the entire
length of the valley until it empties
into the Tennessee, and thence on¬
ward to join the mighty Mississippi.
By continuous efforts we reached the
top of the mountains at A o'clock,
where we met with rain and wind,
but getting under a rock cliff we suc¬
ceeded in keeping dry. We descend¬
ed the east slope for half a mile
when we reached a bubbling spring,
the water of which is as fine as any
that ever flowed from Georgia soil,
we halted and began to prepare for
the night. Our guide, who had pre¬
ceded us a few minutes, hud selected
a cliff near the spring, where an over¬
hanging rock afforded us shelter
from the weather. A few minutes
later we bad a rousing fire, and were
enjoying the rich viands that had
been prepared previous to our jour¬
ney by the delicate hands of the fair
sex. The night, was spent without
much sleeping, but with sufficient
recreation as to be enjoyed by all.
The next morning we again as¬
cended to the summit in order to get
a commanding view’ of the grandest
mountain scenery in Georgia. As
far as the eye can see is mountain
upon mountain, extending faither
and farther, until they seemingly kiss
the sky, and when ga/.ing upon this
enrapturing scene we could not but
contemplate what great things mi
All-wise God has in the beginning
prepared for the pleasures, the edifi¬
cation, and upbuilding of u.o.tal
man.
