I can’t get him to cross the bridge. t « ‘‘That’s the reason I sold him’ said the dealer calmly. ‘*Why did you come to me for the horse? ’ “I saw your advertisement in the paper.* ”1 thought so.

Mr • J S Brooks, of Youth, ac¬ companied by his daughter was in the city one day recently. While heie Mr. Brooks told us about killing a coachwhip snake ou bis plantation which meas¬ ured 8 feet and a fraction in length and w hich weighed 0 and three-fourth pounds. His at tention was called to the reptile by a little dog which had quite a prolonged and unpleasant en¬ counter with it. As soon as Mr. Brooks got to the place where the sdihko was the snake ran some little distance and then turned and ran on him and sta' t ed to strike him. Realizing tue danger of the situation Mr Brooks knew something had to be done or lie would, perhaps, be killed. So he took a hoe and struck at the snake, seveiing his head the first lick. Immediate¬ ly after Mr. Brooks killed the snake the mate was located in a nearby place and was shot by Mr. Brook's son. The mate lack ed a little of being as large and as long as the one killed by Mi. Brooks• Mr. Brooks says he never saw such snakes outside of a cucus show, that they beat anything that he had ever seen in this part of the country. Judging from what Mr. Brook told us, he must have a regular snake farm. He said in one year he and bis children killed 03 snakes on the place he now lives on. Who can beat it? The little dog was bitten sev¬ eral times and was awful sick for a while but still lives.—Wal tou News. Fear Of Newspaper Public ity. - One of the last thing* John J. Ingalls wrote was this brief tribute to the daily newspawer: “In a gystpm of representative popular self-government like ours the su¬ preme power is public opinion. From the ultimate decrees of this tribu ml there is neither exculpa¬ tion nor appeal. Its organ is the press which protects minorities from the tyrannies of majorities, the weak from the oppression of the strong, and the poor from the extortion of the rich by appeal to the conscience of the people, and by condemnation of error, falsehood and injustice. The august Judge, the despotic magistrate, the cor¬ rupt legislator may be indifferent to the penalties and sanction* of the moral law, may carelittla for heaven or hell; and less for God or the devil; but he trembles and co vers and shrinks from the terri¬ fying publicity of the daily news¬ paper. No craft or subtlety can evade its sleepless vigilance, no hypocrisy can escape its penetra tiou; no bribe can purchase its verdict. With free thought,*free speech and a free press, our civili¬ zations will emerge unimpaired from the tremendous revolution through which the standard of Spartacus will be raised in vain.” If it were not for the fear of publicity through the newspapers this would be a much worse world than it is now. To the wrongdoer it is like the sword of Damocles. Next to the law it is the greatest restraining power. The of the press for good is great. Fear of publicity through the press keeps many people from evil deeds —Marietta Journal.
