the kind of people we want to settle
among us is the New Englanders
and others who have the almighty
dollar to spend. We want their
dollars as bad as we want them and
there is not a bit’of use of denying
it. We have the mineral and they
have the money. We want the
money. The people here know
that the resources of Trenton and
Dade county cannot be excelled in
quality or quantity and now all
should make an effort to get capi-
tal to locate at Trenton. This
way of every man being for him
self and the devil for all is abom
inable. When this spirit changes
Trenton will prosper. Go to work

Wildwood, Ga., April 17.—Since

how fur it has been sometimes it
looks so travel worn. As I am
about to ask what we have done to
merit this treatment some one sug

not. But I would sug est that
our member of Congress be interro
gated on the subject. But it
would be of no avail I think as Mr.
Brown is up there too and the little
Vlountain Colt could not cope with
such a largo boss. What do they
care any way for us little moun
tain “sang diggers” so long as they
have the approval of city dudes,
and the city dudes wants fast mail
and our roads want more money.
This is clearly shown by the de
portment of the Chattanooga Times
men. The Times is a good paper
and can bawl louder than Baatam’s
quadruped when Chattanooga is in
terested. Whoop ’em up Jack.
We are only mice but we can c>*rry
the dirt from under the wall dis
crimination and ma3*be it will fall

Mr. Bud Taylor has been with
us for a day or two. Mr. J, E. Pat
terson is taking subscription to
build a school house. We are sure
he will succeed for one man worth
five thousand dollars signed one of
them. We had no school last year
because we had no house. Can’t
some Trenton man show the “ban

Oh yes some one will say a

* What a monster.” “Isn’t ne a
big one.” “Never seen such a
large one before.” These are a
few of the many remarks as we
heard as we came up to a crowd
that had gathered around one of
the largest rattle snakes we ever
seen. It was fully six feet long
and had sixteen rattles. The
monitor causedconsiderable trouble
before it was killed. While Ed
S m iin ami Cicero Johnson were
doing some hau ing wrhen they
discovered the snake and both
jumped off of the wagon to
kill it and left the team standing.
The snake ran Ixdweea the team,
which becatwo frightened began
running. Both drivers being on
the ground and the team began un
hitched they were at liberty to go
where they pleased. They ran
about one mile before bitting
anything. The wagon was badly
demolished and the team injured
to some extent. Sam Johnson b«e

And aint a bit easy riled.

And quiet, gentle and mild.

And that you’ll be faithful and true.
And always love me dearly.
And I’ll do the same by yon.

A Spring Idly,
Ah there! beautiful spring
Let fancy take itejwing.
Your early pleasure to sing.
Come, come ye gentle showers,
Kill wood and field with dowers,
Kobe earth in her new spring suit;
And while we sit iu the shade.
We will drink ice cold lemonade
And eat your earliest fruit.
There will be fun at the picnics
With redbugs and seed ticks.
And the mushroom and toad .stool
Will still some people fool.
Often found is‘‘love’Byoung dream"
. In strawberries and ice cream;
Alas for man, alas for maid.
So soon under the grasses laid.
The gay and festive cucumber
Will put the small boy to slumber.
Waft him where the seraph’s sing. *
And the peach and the plum
Will hars their annual fun.
In their usual way this spring
But if you want the boss ache,
Ea* green apples, they take the cake.
In the spring the sodafounts run.
Soda I! Man with a gun!
See you later—My song is sung,
