Mr. J. Sidney Smith, of Ruby,
declares that he jumped from the
top of a load of hay over on the (
hames of one of his mules last
Thursday when he saw a large J
moccasin just a few inches from 1
him on the hay. He had just 1
seated himself on the big load of t
hay he was hauling from near j
the bank of a creek about noon,
and he was hot and tired and in
no mood to look complacently 1
at a large reptile so near. His '
tired feeling left him immediately y
however and he felt obliged to t
take more exercise before dinner. I
This he began by jumping, as I
r above stated, and kicking about 1
? 1 I . # I " *
a can ioaa or nay on tne wagon c
as he jumped. The snake went v
off with the hay and crawled c
back into the lake as if angered c
at missing a ride on the hay.
Neither Mr. Smith nor the mule
was hurt and the former had J
collected his faculties sufficently ^
by Saturday to relate the circumstance
and smile, 1

cents cotton a few years ago,
but a pound of cotton would
then buy a pound of meat, and
everything else was cheap in <
proportion. But now a pound
of cotton will not buy .much of
anything, in fact it would take
two pounds to buy one pound of
meat. But the hardest time we
have ever seen was during the
war. I was eight years old when
the war broke out, and for four
years we did without things in
t. ^ .1 ?
such a way inai would be a lesson
in these times of extravagance.
We made our own hats,
:lothes, shoes and about everything
else we had. In fact, we
had to make the lasts on which
the shoes were made. We tanned
hides in troughs made from
large pine trees, and we even
made buttons out of the leather.
Vjy father went to Virginia with
i four horse wagon to ^et salt
or the neighborhood, and as for
sugar and coffee, we simply did
vithout. Hut we did have plenty
oeat. In this section we made ,
dl the food crops that we needid."?Monroe
