It Was a "Big ’Un."
The “biggest snake story” of the
season comes from Carnesville and
says that John Manley killed a coach
whip over there a few days ago that
measured 17 feet and 104 inches in
length mid 14j/ inches in circumfer¬
ence. (Ansar, what a big ’un.—
Crawford Herald.
You are right, Bro. Moore, it was
a “big ’un,” in fact it was the largest
snake that was ever killed in this
county.
Notice.
Is hereby given that application
will be made at the adjourned session
of the General Assembly of Georgia,
which meets in July next, for the
passage of a bill, the title of which

“A bill to be entitled an act to in-
corporrte the town of Martin, in the
county of Franklin, to grant certain
powers and privileges to the same,

Death of Miss Nannie Morgan.

fact that he has quite a number of

ious to he in the closing exercises,
and for other satisfactory reasons he
has decided to have the closing
