MOTORIST TURNS HIS HEAD
AND FINDS 6-FOOT SNAKE
CRAWLING ON SHOULDER
Midville, Ga.—Peter McNeeley had
an experience Wednesday which,
though it ended as comedy, possess
ed possibilities of real tragedy.
Mr. McNeeley was driving from
Wadley to Midville when, happening
to turn his head, he looked straight
into the eyes of a large snake that
was crawling onto his shoulder. The
reptile’s tongue was out, and had
Mr. McNeeley been a minute later,
he would have been bitten, probably
fatally. He made such a sudden stop
he narrowly missed running his car
off the ste&p embankment at the
Ogeechee River. He leaped to the
ground, and was so completely un
nerved he could make no move.
Frank Kennedy and Runie Brack, of
Midville, drove up at the moment
and killed the snake, which was six
feet long.
Mr. McNeeley had loaded some hay
in the back of his car, little suspect
ing he was taking in such an unwel
come passenger, which lay concealed
in the hay.
POCKETBOOKS ARE NOT
BILLFOLDS IN FORSYTH
Up in the hills of Forsyth county
the people are srtictly honest, but a
little old fashioned in financial termi
nology. A pocketbook is still a
pocketbook, and the word billfold
doesn’t mean a thing. On this pe
culiarity hinges a story.
B. R. Taylor, Jr., of Dawsonville,
recent graduate of the North Geor
gia Agriculture College at Dahlone
ga, had a billfold whicji he prized
very highly as a gift from a young
lady. As he was entering the post
office he stumbled. A little later he
missed the billfold, which contained
S3O. Remembering the stumble he
searched the scene but didn’t find
anything. He also remembered
having seen an old gentleman by the
name of Dishroon, of Forsyth coun
ty, standing nearby, Mr. Dishroon
being easy to remember on account
of the mule and buggy he owns.
Mr. Taylor set out and overtook
Mr. Dishroon on the way home. Mr.
Dishroon hadn’t seen anything of
any billfold. Mr. Taylor sadly re
turned to Dawsonville.
Mr. Dishroon arrived at his home
some twenty-five miles from Daw
sonville. There he took out and ex
amined the pocketbook he had found.
In it he read Taylor’s name. A great
light dawned. He had made a mis
take.
Quick to rectify it he hired a car
and went all the way back to Daw
sonville to return the lost property.
“I guess this is what you were
talking about,” quoted Mr. Dishroon
to Mr. Taylor. “You get your pock
etbook and 1 learn anew word.”
Someone has truly said that the
best way to judge a man is not by
what other men say about him, but
by what he says of other men. How
true. A few minutes conversation
with a man about men will give a
more accurate line up on him than
an hour’s inquiry about him from
other men. One will find out if he
is generous or selfish, honest or un
scrupulous, narrow minded or broad
minded, mean or charitable. In fact
one can find out all he needs to know
about a man by listening to him
talk about other men.—Butler Her
ald.

Lightning Kills Man At Bedside Of
Mother
Chicago.—The story of how a man
was struck dead by lightning while
standing at the bedside of his moth
er, believed dying, was told today by
Frank Donly, a secretary employed
in the Chicago office of Judge Fred
erick De Young of the Illinois su
preme court.
Leonidas Jeffers, a wealthy farm
er of Auburn, Neb., and cousin of
Donly, was the victim. Donly said
Jeffers left Nebraska to hurry to the

B. Gallinger, in Galien, Mich. He
arrived Tuesday. Just as he was
shown to his mothers room a bolt

DELEGATES ELECTED
TO M. E. CONFERENCE
(From Gwinnett Journal)
Well, the district conference was
put over in fine style. We never saw
such a faithful crowd of wmrkers.
There was plenty to eat for both
days and then some left. Many of
the preachers said that this confer
ence was entertained the best they
had ever seen. Everybody went home
feeling fine after two days in our
presence. That is good for the
Methodist church as well as a good
advertisement for the city. The
following were elected delegates to
the annual conference which meets
in Atlanta November 12th: M. C.
Wiley, J. B. Adams, W. C. Drake, C.
H. Edwards, W. T. Hinton, Glenn

son, Grady Miller and L. W. Hosch.

and Clifford Byrd.
Five young men were granted li
cense to preach: John Harrison Kel
ley, Detterick Pierce Johnston, Har
ry Lee Smith, Arthur John King and
Charlie Denny Bailey. The John
ston young man was only fifteen
years old and is the son of the pastor
at Winder. Asa whole they were a
fine set of boys. All well educated
or in college now. The world has
not gone to the devil yet, since so
many are offering themselves for the
work of the Master.
One was recommended to the an
nual conference for admission on
trial, Rev. William Rauson Mitch
urn, of Monroe. Two were recom

THE COLORED 4-H SHORT
COURSE
The two days short course, held
by M. K. Torbert, and E. L. Cooper,
at the Neal Rosenwald School build

very successful session Saturday,
July the 11th. After registration
| and classification, the boys, girls and
1 women, dressed in their uniforms,
i began their work.

plums, and blackberries were canned.
Section B, Rug Making.
Section .C, Cake Baking, by the
local leader, Miss Zepherine Mack.

round garden; cakes, made from
home-made flour; butter, eggs and
milk, from our hotoie-raised cows
and chickens; buscuit and corn pones
from home-made flour and meal; and
cool water from the well, answered
the purpose for lemonade.
After hours of steady work, which
was then 1.30 o’clock, dinner was
served. This closed the morning
session.
At 2.30, a demonstration in chick
en culling and judging, given by the
farm agent, Prof. E. L. Cooper.
Much needful information was given
us, which will help us in the future.
Club songs and yells ended the
day’s work for the first day.
Saturday, registration and classi

were again formed.
Section A, Light Bread Baking,

State short course to be held in Sa
vannah, July 20-25th, and urged the
champions of the 4-H clubs to be
ready to leave on the morning of
the 19th.
Col. John Turner and Mrs. Turn
er, who always come to us when call
ed upon, brought to us some won
derful information on education and
intelligent home making, and how
to dress well at a little expense. He
said that a cheap dress, well fitted
and nicely made, looked better than
a costly dress half fitted and poorly
made. Mrs. Turner put much stress
on color scheme in a bed-room, and
how a bed-room could be made
beautiful at little expense.
The demonstration given on Home
Beautification by our home demon
stration agent was beautifully car
ried out, and should prove very help
ful to all who saw it.
The farm agent, Prof. E. L. Coop
er, repeated the demonstration on
culling chickens, and made us all
happy by giving us a free moving
picture show, showing the various
projects carried on by 4-H club girls
and boys.
Annie Bell Colbert, Sec’y.
People complain about hard times.
We have seen times a great deal
harder here than they are now, and
we had some stingy citizens who did
different ways to save. Two special
ly. At night one of them would
pour what water he had back in the
well before retiring to keep from
throwing it out. He was a mer
chant. One afternoon he invited a
\friend to come and sit and talk with
him a while that night. They met,
and after the customers all got
through trading, the merchant said
there is no use in wasting oil, and
blew out the lamp light. Then the
visitor rose up out of the chair, say
ing it was useless to be wearing out
his pants, so he lowered them far
enough to prevent the seat from
striking the chair bottom and sat
down. Then the two continued their
conversation.—Dahlenega Nugget.
