The story was sent in by Mrs. E. C. DeLoach, of Glen wood. The quilt is a patchwork , quilt and it won its place in the Journal’s “It Happend In Geor gia’’ colum because of its odd number of pieces. A Big Rattler Killed Several days ago, Will Coney, a colored man living on the G. G. Horton s place, brought to town a big rattler that bis son, Dan Couey, had killed. The big snake was four feet and eleven inches long, and had ten rattles. The boy killed the ratiler in his father's potato patch near the yard. That’s some rattler, and we would like to see a few more more of them dead than to have running around alive and hiding. Thanks, Dan! Do it again.
