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.

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.
