SNAKE STORIES.-NO. 1.
[ConO Uniters to this department must
sbek to the truth, as no exaggerations
or prevarications will be published.—
Editor.]
While having some oats cut
a few days ago Floyd Plunkett
killed a very large rattlesnake,
having 12 rattlers and two large
horns which were about six in¬
ches long, atd had tusks like a
wild boar. It was a frightful
looking reptile, and came very
near biting the colored man who
was cutting the grain. If he had
it would doubtless have been fa¬
tal. The skin of the snake will
be stuffed and put on exhibition
at the Atlanta Exposition. Floyd
says it will be one of the won¬
ders at the great fair, and he
wants everybody to see it.
FROM THE DIAMOND.
The best ball game of the sea¬
son was played on the home
grounds Saturday afternoon of
last week. Messrs. Huson and
Clark, of Covington, did the bat¬
tery work for the Lithonians,
and Messrs. Means, Griffin and
Seales, of Oxford,covered third,
shortstop and left field for the
home boys. The playing on both
sides was good, and when the
Conyers boys went out for the
last time the score stood 7 to 6
m their favor. Lithonia made
•
one run in the last inning, tying
the score. The umpire gave
them another run in the last in¬
ning, thus making the score,
Lithonia 8 ; Conyers 7. How¬
ever, the general concensus of
opinion of both Lithonia and
Conyers people was that the last
run should not be scored.
Wednesday afternoon a game
was played by the boys against
the men who“used to play ball,”
and some of them know how yet.
’Twas very amusing. The score
stood, boys 9 ; men 8.
Thursday Conyers crossed bats
with the Covington club. The
game was close until the eight
inning, when Covington scored
seven runs, At the encl the
score stood, Covington 14 ; Con¬
yers 8. We understand that the
Doys will play Lithonia today.
The fat and lean citizens have
organized clubs, and will play
a game some time soon. We
failed to get the weights of the
Jeans, and as we wish to act im¬
partially we will not give the
weights of the fats. The clubs
are as follows :

It is said that the battery work

ly good, as M r . Langford is a

and is well backed up by Mr. Sig
