[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 : LEANS. POSITIONS. FATS J. L. Norman......c......JL.
