is badly in need of cultivation.
Except in Texas and Oklahoma,
cotton has experienced very unfavorable
weather conditions and
the crop is generally very grassy,
rust and lice extensively reported
throughout the central and eastern

3reat Snakes ! He was Tried by
Trying to Tell a Story.
Mr. Edit( it:?1 overheard :
?omo days ago a good old brother ,
remark to another that thoy would
like to eee a story written by '
"Pap's Boy." 1 am not very j
well acquainted with the people
under my new name, llenee,
^,,..4 4-1.- ..II At-! ?1 *
iiuni iukc mi mmgs gooci numorcily
among btrangers. I knew they
wero unaware of Pap's Hoy's
presence or that he was a preacher
and that they wore inducing a
preacher to make an attempt to
tell a story. Well, 1 always try
to please people, and I sat down
in my office trying to think up a
story. I thinked an' I thought
an' 1 thunk 'till 1 could thunk no
more and finully concluded 1 was
a (leo Washington, Jr., for I
couldn't tell a lie. But I thought
again that "whore there's a will
there's a way" and it wouldn't do
to start a thing and not finish it
even if it didn't have a good moral
in it, and that if 1 didn't at first
succeed I must try again. But 1
knew it vain for me to attempt it
in my room alone. So the thought
struck me, I shall go out visiting
among my neighbors and see the
trend of conversation. Well 1
went out to church pretty soon
and found a crowd of men assembled
before services?which I
joined?a thing very unusual for
me to do?for 1 invariably seek
company among the fairer sex, as
I find it more pleasant and elevat> j
ing spiritually and morally. I
went home with one of the good
old church members and visited
around among a number of my
n? ighbors uud soou found snakes ^
to be the topic of tho day, perhaps
becauso it is a bad time for
siiasee, nny way mo inougnt occurred
to me that a snake story
would be the thing for mo to write
since I had been impressed with
the subject and had received a few
pointers at church and among the
homes. Hence, to my story about
snakes.
A snake story is a tale about a
snake. A snake is a long slim
thing which lives in a hole. A
hole is a place in the ground
whore there is n.i ground. The
ground is the outer layer of the
earth. The earth is a member of
the solar system and is suspended j
in space. Space is that vast ocean
of nothing which is extended to .
infinity on all sides to hold the (
stories that aro told about snakes. ,
Ah h snake story is a talc about t
a snake, and all shaken have ,
tails on or about them, snake
stories are very numerous. About
the most remarkable snuke story
we know is the tail of the joint
snake. Some people say this is
not a snake story and this is the
line of their argument. The tail
of the joint snake comes of! and is
left by the snake. Therefore, although
it is still a tail, yet it is
not a snake, and hence cannot be
a annuo story, Mince by dctinition
a snake story is a tale abthit a

snake. But to show you the fallacy
of their reasoning, will say:
The tail is an entity and you'can - ;
not dissolve an entity into i
a non-entity. Therefore, it is
still a tale and must ho about 1
something. It is, also, the tail of
a snake, and if it is not a tale
about a snake, it is a tale of a!
i
snake about something else, which ,
is an absurdity. The tail of the!
rattle-snake is also worthy of men I
f Inn ...... I.* t '
wuii! i?iui/ii^ siiuivv sim ii's, since
very few peoplo fail to see the
point.
Another re narkable story uhoot
a snake is the tale of the serpent
that Ilcrculcs killed, onlv it was;
the head and not the tail that was|
remarkable that tune. It had
nine heads, and every time ller
cules cut one off two more grew '
on. Some people douht this, hut ^
wo do not think Hcrculos would
have lied about it.
A gentleman tells us that hoi
saw two snakes engaged in a deadly |
struggle. Finally each took tho
other by the tail and commenced
to swallow. This continued until ;
both disappeared, having en' irely
swallowed each other. He proves i
tho truth of his statement by;
drawing a picture of the place,
in tho picture no snakes were
visible. The same person once
saw a large black snake swallow .
1 * m -
mmseir in the same way. This!
plan of committing suicide would
not be practicable with the boys
of Tabernacle, on account of the
size of their shoes.
A Tradesvillo man had been I
losing chickens, turkeys, pigs,!
etc. One day ho thought be saw.
a bunch of feathers sticking out
ot an old log and commenced to I
investigate. To his surprise he!
found the supposed log was a
snake unci wheu it was killed he
found within ten dozen chickens,
twenty geese, seventeen turkeys, j
eleven pigs, thtee calves, one
goat unci a mule colt. Several of
the hens had commenced to lay
and one l ad actually brought olT
a brood of chickens. To those
who are inclined to doubt the
veracity of this, l?t it be remembered
that South Carolina is the |
home of Messrs Matties, McN'eely,
Polk and John C Calhoun, the!
latter one of the beloved 111111101-:
tnl trio.
In Virginia a largo black snake
killed a polo-cat and tried to swal- j
low it. But tho noble "polo"
was too strong for him. lie be-came
sick, and with ono mighty
convulsion the cat was not only)
ejected but his snakeship was completely
turned wrong side out. i
Even then ho couldn't stop and
immediately turned back and then
inside out again, hik! last seen of (
hirn he was flopping <>(T into the <
woods, turning the other side out <
.at every jump. This actually oc* 1
curred in Virginia, the home of I
Geo Washington, the man who
couldn't tell a lie.
The garter snake's striped down the
hack,
The adder spreads his head,
The Copperhead liils you a whack
Ami over you roll <juite dead.
The moccasin lives on the creek,
Down by the waters cool:
He gets the boy who goes to siek,
The tishea in the pool.
To morrow is rtt. i'atric's day,
Now just remember that;
And every time you think of him,
Boys please take oiryour hat,
For he did set his country free,
No snakes in Ireland dwell;
He freed It from t lie snakes Hit niseives
And from snake tales as well.
Hut now no more such tilings I'll tell,
Offtcr|>eutH wild or tame;
Last you, rov hearers, lose your mind, :
And I lose iny good name.

The Knquirer has, from timo
to time, published statements of
facts illustrating the remarkable
rate of increaso that seems to lie
peculiar to .Jersey cattle; but this
from Mr. .J Frank Moore, of
Itathesda, scorns more remarkable
than any statement thut has been
previously publ'shod on tho suh^
ject. In May, 1 , Mr. Mooro
purchased a .Jersey cow that was
23 months old. Since then the
cow has dropped seven heifer
calves. Eleven calves have been
dropped by these seven, and
five have been dropped by tho
eleven. The herd, including the
original cow and two heifers sold

to 23 head The original cow has
11 tested rocord of four gallons of
milk a day. And this record has
been equaled by several of her
