It was the day fter Fred H. Parker, Judge Parker's brother, killed the big copperhead on the road to West Park, and the air was full of snake. The stranger listened respectfully to the copperhead story, but it was evident that be had something up his sleeve. rv, dfltpn in Alaliar>ia X uciu a ia?iu t* u ^ w ^ before the war," be said, when there was a lull iu the talk "and one day when I was at work on the hccky hillside, I came acros a female rattlesnake and her brood. I kiiied them all but one one little fellow, and brought him home to show him to the children. "When I got him home he behaved so well that I let hio^live, and he became the pet of the house. He used to come in when the horn sounded for dinner aEd be would sit in a high chair and eat just like the rest of us. "He was a mighty smart snake and he could do 'most everything but talk. When he wanted a secoDd piece of huckleberry pie he would rattle in a certain way and we would know just what he ment. We called him Bill, and he acted as a sort of watch dog. "When the war broke out and I get ready to go Bill saw that something was up, and he kept following ? ~ omotr nnfrifv Uitr iiiuuuu mvuiug ?n?j me that he wanted to be in the game. I toid him he'd have to stay home and watch the farm, and I started down the road to join my regiment. "I'd gone about a half mile when 8omethiog dropped out of a tree and wouLd itself around my neck. It was Bill, and by the way he looked into my face, beseeching like, I knew I'd have to take him to the war. ^ Gentlemen, that rattler proved to be one of the best soldiers in the Confederate army. When we closed in with the Yanks Bill would wriggle into their ranks and bite 'em right and left, killing a Yankee every time he struck. When the bugle blew at night he would come back to our camp and look at me, as much as to say: v 'If you have done as well as I have today the war won't last long. ''Gen. Li9e beard about Bill and brevet' d him a colonel of gallantry.* Col. Bill kept up his work as long as the war lasted, but in the confusion that follwed the news of the surrender he was lost. "I supposed the colonel had been killed, and after grieving for him I went home and get my family and moved to Tennessee, where I thought I could make a better living. I hired some niggers to work on my place, but I knew that if Col. Bill had come home with me I couldn't keep them, because he had heard somewhere that the niggers were the cause of the war, and he was death on 'em. "One day one of my niggers went down to the spring and came back yelling that he had been bitten by the biggest rattler he ever saw. I got down my shotgun and ran to the spring. "Sure enough there was a snake 3 feet tall above his coils. I got a bead on him and was just going to fire when the rattler hoisted bis tail and began to rattle off 'Dixie.' It wa6 Col. Bill playing the tune that he had learned io the army. The recognition was mutual and I welcomed Bill as one from the dead. "Then I heard a great noise like j fish being fried to the air of 'Dixie,' j and out of the rocks came a thousand ! . or so of rattlersal), Bill's descendants j a! 1 y-v 1 a m r\ f b n mnein D ?11 auu. an jjxajiug vuo icuci ojuciu. xsm , had taught 'em. uTbere wasllf't anything to do but j take Bill and bis kin up to tbo house i and entertain 'em. The result was ] that X was eaten out of house and \ home. I've been a poor man ever i since and I've come up here to see i Judge Parker and ask him whether ; be can't spare me just one little Ten- j Dessee postmastership when he gets : into office." | As the old man passed down the j i bill toward the judge's no comment! was heard from the group at the !

The Press and Banner has no special zsal in the matter, but we think the sober sensible thiDg for the people to do is to refuse to vote for any such proposition i If our Legislature had teen in earnest in an effort to save money, they could have reduced the annual sessions of forty days to twenty days. Others have our permission to vote as they please but we will vote against biennial sessions. Wewouid gladly vote to have the sessions reduced to twenty days. A Magistrate Acquitted. The State.

A gentleman living in the West Indies had a large sugar plantation with a great number of native laborers employed on it. He found that he was often robbed, and at length, after losing a considerable sua?, he called his servants together. "My friends," said be, "I have had a wonderful dream in the night. I dreamed that the person who stole my money should have at this instant a feather on the tip of bis noee." i The thief on hearing this immei diately nut his hand to his nose to " | see if the feather was there. | "It is you," cried the master, "who ; robbed me!" The simple negro confessed the theft, and the master recovered his money.
