TWO TRUTHFUL ITEMS.
SPREAD OUT BEFORE OUR REAl>>
KRS THIS MORNING.
A Homed Snake Kjlied—The Eftect*
of "Hoiking" From Oncof Them—
A Ftgh-Snnke Caught Out of
Lookout Creek Wednesday,
G. A, R, Bible, one of tho county
school commissioners, and a truth
ful citizen, of the lower part of the
county, told the reporter, while in
town last Monday, of a snake he
killed ip ld» f&tA. It was what is
known as the homedspecie, and a
very poisonous reptile. Instead
of biting it fkrikes with its tail,
which has a horn on it. He aaid
that he once -saw one strike a dog
and in fifteen minutes it waa dead
from the effects of the poiron in
the horn. This snake that Mr,
Bible killed he said also had fangs.
It was five feet long and the horn
was three inches showing that it
was a very old one.
It is said that this specie of
.snakes are so poisonous as to pven
kill a tree if they should happen to
strike it with their horn. They
are uncommon in this section
and we trust that they will grow
beautifully less,

A WOOLEN FACTORY.

Willi Postmaster Rodgers.
The following appeared In the
? Chattanooga Times last Wednesday
! from its Tteuton correspondent.
Trenton, Ga., May 7.—[Spec
ial.] —Trenton is expecting to be
come aGutlirie very soon.
B. T. Pace has an offer on fifty
acres or more of his land adjoitjiaig
town. Have not learned partic
ulars, but understand that the
amount involved is no little sum.
The purpose. I understand, of this
offer is to obtain the land for town
lots expressly. The people are on
the tiptoe of expectancy.
A woolen factory is contemplated
A little over .©ue-half of the stock
has been subsrdbed.
Tho reporter was ordered to go
out and hunt up the facts in the
case. After chasing four .or .five
parties around town for an Hour
two he was finally .directed to Post
master Rodgera, Mr Rodgers was
fiund in his elegamtly furnished
private office in the new custom
house, reading the morning papers.
He was all smiles and said that he
would gladly give the reporter Any
ift/ormation he could.
“Can yow tell me wko it is going
to build the woolen mill?” asked
ilie reporter.
“Go to the douse.””
The interpretation of this 1b that
the mill is to be built
“What part of the city is it to be
located?”
“Didn’t I tell you to go to the
douse!”
At the comer of Mam and Col
’lege streets at the old blacksmith
shop atand is full meaning of this
last, answer,
••When will the company- com
mence work?**
“Look here? Didn’t I tell you
to go to the douse?’*
“Yes, yes, I know it takes time
to do anything.”
“Who composes the company?”
M Dad blame it] Go to the douse,
douse, douse, doused”
After further conversation, we
learned that all the stock was about
taken and the subject of a woolen
mill was first spoken of last Sun
day evening. Judge Bennett, Col,
Williams and General M. A. B.
Tatum were standing on the steps
of the court house when the ques
tion of a wools'll mill was ap
proached and from this conversa
tion the mill was nearly built by
Tuesday evening. The is another
case of the three black crows.
