i SEES SIGHTS OF SNAKES.
‘Visions of Reptiles Galore in a Neigh
boring County That Is Sup
posed to Be Dry.
The Cuthbert Leader says that Ike
Hudson occasionally sees enakes, and
when he does it is unfortunate for the
reptiles.
The other day he found a unest of
rattlesnakes under a log, and arming
himself with a stick made a Japanese
charge on the serpents. When the
engagement ended the census of
rattiers in Randolph county had been’
decreased just twenty-one. One of
these was a large reptile with nine
rattles, the others being small ones.
The next is in order.
