Sure enough as was sus peeled the young conple made their ap pearcnce and demanded license. It was refused them, however, and it is presum ed they managed to got their license elsewhere. Tho following items is going the rounds of the press. The young lady in question will need two or three amen uensis if she answers all the letters she gets from yor g men who are looking for a soft th ug. A young lady stepped into an employment office in Seattle and said she was the owner of 160 acres of good farming land in Snohomish county, w'th s'-.ty acre3 cleared. She said she l ad a’so a small sum of money, and her object was lo sc euro a husband who would work the farm and make her a good consort.

George Scherer !' ’ 1 a speci rare men of tho sp 'men of the serpent tribe y inlay, Many people have never g ven any cref’t 1 1 the report that there was such a sei peat as the horn ,".l or hoop snake. Mr. Scherer says that this is a genuine specimen and tnat the curious kntics of this little reptile attracted his attention and caused him to resolve to capture it, if possible alive. Ia this he was not successful, for never having seen one of these species before he though perhaps it would be better to ’ ’’1 it for fear he nffght get stung by it. When his attention was fi-st cal led to it the little serpent had coiled it self up in the shapo of a hoop and was maF'ngits eseade at a very rapid rate. He picked up a stick and k'Ucd it. It measured about twelvo inches. On the end of it3 tail ia a little prong that is a' 1 most as sharp a s the point of needle. Its head is ve y small indeed compared with the size of its body, Mr. Scherer has it hung up iu front of Scherer and Brausss’ bar for public inspection. Delayed Freights, As many arc aware, there has been several washouts on the Central be* tween Macon and Savannah. On ac count of this a great many me chants, who have been expecting their goods that were to reach them this line, have complained some what at their detention. In order to the facts in regard to the mat ter, J, L- Reid, freight and ^passen- agent of the Central, was inter viewed and furnished us the follow¬ information: He said that for the ten days trains bad been delayed account of these washouts and that the rai' oad officials had done all their power to rebuild the roads, the rain came in such overwhelm torrents that it completely resis all efforts toward its completion. said, however, he hoped soon to able to announce to the public’the news of the successful re¬ of the roads. He thinks tho trains will be in succe.sful by to-day and that all detained on this account would in the city soon. This is good to the merchants and will iheer up considerably. A STREET RAILWAY. THE LATEST PBOJECT FOR GRIF¬ FIN’S ADYANCEMENT, A Charter to lie Applied for at the Next Session of the Legislature-- “Fare, Please!” The coming legislature will be no titled in a few days that a Griffin Oiropany proposes to apply to its honorable body for a charter* to con struct and operate a street railway over and upon the streets of Griffin. The route of this street railroad as at present contemplated will bo about as follows: Starting in front of B. “R. Blake ly’s residence on North Hill street, running thence south to Poplar street, following Poplar street west to Tenth street, thence north one square to Taylor street, thence west on Taylor street to Thirteenth street, thence north to the Griffiu fac tory, thence east to Tenth street, thence south on Tentn street to Tay lor streat aud returning on Taylor street to the main line on Hill styeet. This plan is, of course, subject to modification and expansion. A company with responsible and wealthy citizens is now beiDg form ed for this project, though they do not care to have their names pub lished until a little later. The cost of the project is not very large, being placed at about $10,000. Rapid and cheap transit is one of the best means to facilitate business, and there is no reason why a street car line should .not pay in Griffin with the magnificent distances in eluded in a circumference of over six miles, Griffin stands toward improve ments as a street car does toward passengers—there is always room for one more.
