Wall Street has about re¬
covered from the secent shock
by Uncle Sam depositing
about ten million there.
That child at MiUen who
; .te the heads off 18 match¬
es. with a little more practice,
could enter a dime museum
or a side-show of a cirgus.
A young man in Griffin shot
his father in the mouth, kill¬
ing him instantly, the ball
passing entirely through his
head and exploding a lamp
w’bich set the house on fire,
lie must be a modern William
Tecmnseh Sherman.
Dr. Len G. Braughton hiu
created considerable excite
ment in Atlanta by declaring
in the pulpit that he will ex
pose officers of that city who
were guilty of gambling on
horse races during the fair and
that he intends to give facts
and figures next Sunday night
lie will probably lose some oi
his long locks before the af¬
fair is ended.
At Tifton, a young man
won his bride by swearing out
a possessary warrant for her
valuing her at $50 or more;
also swearing out a warrant
for her father, charging him
with false imprisonment. The
father used red-hot words
when he fount! out what a
job had been put up on him.
and we suppose the young
bride and groom are still put¬
ting distance between them
selves and the old man.
We dislike the idea of say¬
ing anything against our town,
and we have refrained from
saying until the present, but
as the rowdyism increases we
are compelled to say a few
words, especially to the city
council, not in our own be¬
half, hut in behalf of the ladies
of our town. It has become
such that a lady cannot go on
the street without I earing vile
epithets at almo t any time of
day. This is mostly in day
time- they don’t v ait unti
niiht to rend the air with
their curses.
The time is now ripe for
tbc city council to be up ant
doing, and if these gentlemen
will not do anything, it will be
up to the grand jury, for there
is a statute prohibiting drun¬
kenness on a public highway
or in a public place.
There is a place prepared
for these law-brakers and if
this is not stopped pretty soon
Spring Place will have a most
notorious name.
This outrageous conduct is
a menace to any community.
Readers, please pardon us
for this outburst; but there
must be something done. Let
the city council handle these
parties; for there has been
enough done in this year to
pave the court house square,
at least, with belgian block, if
the proper treatment had be¬
fell them.

A SERENADE!
The silvery moon is beaming low
Far in the golden west; heads,
The flowers droop their weary
The birds have gone to rest.:
All nature sleeps in calm repose
And night o’er all his mantle throws
While now to thee I sing.
Refrain:
Peaceful thy slumber.
Gentle thy rest,
Sweet, be thy dreaming,my loved one,of me:
May some fair angel bright
Keep thee ‘till morning light r
While 1 am waiting,my loved one, for thee.
The silvery moon is beaming low
Far in the sky so blue,
Her gentle light, so soft, so still,
Guides my footsteps to you ;
And here beside thy casement,love
To thee I vow by stars above
W bile now to thee I sing.
Refrrain:
The silvery moon is beaming low '• *7.
Far in the sky so deep
Silent the leaves on every bough
While I my vigils keep,
And in the morn’s first rosy light
Again to thee I say good night
While now to thee I sing.
Refrain: W. D. Hart.

SNAKES PLENTIFUL IN
LOWNDES COUNTY.
Many Rattlers and Copper Heads
Have Been Killed This Year.
Valdosta, Ga , Oct., 25.—It. is
said through this section that
snakes of all kinds, and especial¬
ly rattlers, have been more plen¬
tiful than ever before. In one
lot in the heart of the city, this
week, was found seven copper
oead moccasins, two ground rat¬
tlers and one big rattler, over five
feet long. The lot was the old
Talley residence, which has not
been occupied in several months,
and was recently sold to Mr. W.
F. Bamberg and was being clear¬
ed up when the snakes were
found and killed.
Mr. Warren Corbett, while out
hunting squirrels this week,
crawled over a huge log, winch
was slightly off the ground, and
sat down, hanging his feet against
the log and kicking them against
it v Suddenly he heard a rushing
from under the log like a fright¬
ened pig or dog. He looked
around and saw a monster rattler
which he had stirred up. It had
fourteen rattles and was six and
a half feet long. Mr. Corbett
killed the reptile. He believes
that his feet were within an inch
or two as it lay under the log.
On Mr. H. Y. Tillman’s place
fifteen big rattlers have been
killed this season and most of
them close to his tenants’ quar¬
ters. Mr. H. B. Henderson re
ports having killed eight big rat¬
tlers himself, while reports from
all sections indicate more snakes
than have been seen in many'
seasons.
