Lyons; Ga., March 24. P. C. Wilkes was bitten on the hand hy a rattlesnake Sunday and suf-1 sered no inconvenience from the bite. He was sitting on some old railroad ties near Swift creek when he felt the snake strike his hand behind him. He jerked quickly and the snake was pulled over the tie and killed hy Mr. Wilkes, who came to town for treatment. When he got here and told the incident, at the time showing the wound, some of his ; friends said that it could not have been a rattler; so he took a buggy and went for the snake.
