Isaac Davis of Hague, near Lake George, who, in four years, has killed upward of 1,400 rattlesnakes, and who last fall at the country fairs of this vicinity was the first to handle rattlesnakes in public exhi? bitions, recently killed four monster rat? tlesnakes near Sabbath Day Point. This year he has killed ^upward of 400, for which he has been paid a bounty of 25 cents per snake. Bio makes rattlesnake hunting, catching and exhibiting his whole business, and is paid ?50 a month during the season by property owners about Hague for killing snakes in aid of their extermination. He is believed to be the only man in the world following Shis business. He is au intelligent man, fond of reading, of quiet demeanor and gentle disposition. His friends apprehend that he will meet his death some day in handling these reptiles, but the business iseems to have a fascination outside of the enumeration it affords him. He always carries with him a remedy in case he should be bitten, but does not feel any specialem Science in its efficacy. He is a man of 45, and killed his first snake before he was six years old, but never went into regular snake hunting until four years ago. His father before him was the famous suake hunter, 'Mint' 'Davis, who used to kill.them for the oil . to Bell to druggists. The old man is said to have been bitten several limes by snakes and to have cured himself by the rattlesnake weed. It used to be a stand? ing joke about the lake that when a rat? tlesnake bit old 'Mint' Davis it was the snake that was poisoned to death. The old man certainly seemed to have no more fear of a rattlesnake than a child had of a kitten. A Pair or Fine Shoes. In a pair of fine shoes there are two sew? ed pieces, two inner soles, two stiffenings, two pieces of steel to give a Bpring to the instep, two rands, twelve heel pieces, two sole linings, twenty upper pieces, thirty tackB, twelve nails in the heels and twen? ty buttons, to 6ay nothing of thread, both silk and flax; but the wonder is found in the rapidity with which these multitudi? nous pieces - are'eombined in a single com? pleted work, for, as an experiment, eas? tern shoe factories have from the leather completed a pair of shoes in less than an hour and a half, and as a test a single pair of men's shoes have been finished in twenty minutes. . The shoe is, therefore, & triumph of human intelligence, for every step in its manufacture involves the employment.of machines which do the work of man's bands. Besides others, there are crimp? ing machines, machines which make pegs and drive them in at a single operation, screw nailing machines, which from a piece of wire on a roller make a screw and drive it to its place through the thickest leather; rolling machines, sole leather, separating machines, stripping' machines, sole cutting machines, sewing machines of a dozen different kinds, sand? papering machines, sole sewing machines, sole molding machines, heating out ma? chines, heel burnishing machines, edge settiDg and edge trimming machines, sole rounding' machines, machines fasten the sole to the upper, machines which make the eyelets and machines which sew on the buttons.?Globe Democrat, Sow Peas, Peas are better than clover or grass, or anything ; better for the land and better as a profitable crop. I have unbounded respect for peas. I sow about five acres every year for forage, and they make the best forage in the world?the best for horses and mules, and the best for milch cows. All kinds of stock eat it greedily. I have seen old-fashioned farmers pull peavin.es up by the roots and hang them on the fence to cure. The common idea is that peavine hay is hard to harvest and hard to cure. This is a great mistake. Sow them with a drill or broadcast?say two bushels to the acre; when the pods are nearly grown and the peas are in the dough, walk right into them with a good scythe blade and cut an acre a day; any good mower can do it easily, for it is the sweetest cutting in the world. Let them lie as they fall for twenty-four hours; rake into windrows and let-them alone for two days more. If it rains on them, i just let it rain; when the sun shines again, toss them up and give them air, and-they will cure. I have bad them to take several rains and lie upon the ground for a week and cure all right; plenty of air is all they want?Bill Arp in the Country Gentleman. Danger ia New Built Houses. There is too great haste in occupying a house after its completion. In many places there is such a demand for houses and other business apartments, that as soon as finished they are occupied. This is especially true of small dwellings. There is more danger in this than is sup? posed. There is no health in dampness and mould under any circumstances, and in living apartments, where the tendency is toward poor ventilation, the. dampness of newly finished huu.e* contributes largely to ill health. Iu the town of Bas, Switzerland, e regulation has beeil adopt? ed which prevents newly built houses from being occupied until four months after completion. Under many circumstances ao long a time as above is not necessary, but it is often well to err on the side of safety. The size of the h use, its loca? tion, surrounding?, the material! used and the state of the weather enter into the consideration of the timo necessary in which a building should become suffi? ciently dry for occupancy. Strictly Business. What is the Swift Specific Company ? Who compose the organization ? Is it a clap trap patent medicine humbug, gotten up to deceive and make money out of the people? These questions we think are answered by the officials and citizens of our city and State. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10, 1S88. We know the gentlemen composing the Swift Specific Company.

Drawer 3, Atlanta G?. PROMOTERS. Men with Gigantic Schemes who Pester the Millionaires. A promoter is a drummer on a big scale. He wants to sell something big to the men of millions. He has a mine, or a county, or a patent to float on an ansuspecting public. He has schemes innumerable from a patent corset-clasp to a diamond mine in which he wants the public to become interested. He is the discoverer of the corset-clasp and the diamond mine, and he wants the men of millions to form stock compa? nies and by the sale of the stock to reim? burse him for his discoveries. The rich men can then have the discovery and trust to an all-seeing Providence for their profits. Casual conversations with some of these rich men give only a taint ink? ling of the wear and tear given to their nervous Bystem by promoters. Mr. Flower told the other day of the man who bad evolved the scheme of a pipe line from Orange County to New York City. This pipe line was to be similar to that used by the Standard Oil Company in bringing its petroleum from the Pennsylvania wells to the Atlantic seaboard. This is a continuous line of iron pipes sunk beneath the ground, and the petroleum is pumped through them into the tanks a<; Bayonne, Weebawken and Long Island City. Mr. Flower's visitor said that his pipe line was to con? vey the milk of Orange County from that beautiful and blooming county right into the street8of New York. He thought it the most feasible scheme ou earth, and he was annoyed to think that Mr. Flow? er's business accu men couldn't grasp it. Not long ago Mr. Sage was. asked to lend bis name and a few hundrfed*thbu sand dollars as a starter to organize a maple sugar trust. This scheme also in? cluded a combination for tbe^control of making syrup., The company was to buy up all the trees, especially in Ver? mont/and the tall, hink Vermonter who. had the audacity to broach this subject to Mr. Sage said that they would fairly make things hum. Mr. Gq.u,Id was once besieged by a chap from Western Penn? sylvania who had conceived the expan? sile ides that oatmeal soap'sSould be 'controlled by a monopolistic corpora? tion. This soap is used by miners and others who grub in the earth. At that time there was only about 300 cases of this soap in the country, and Mr. Gould's visitor wanted him to buy it all up and make him hiB agent for the sale of it. Mr. Gould was of course, to watch the importations and control them also. Collis F. Huntington frequently .speaks i of the enthusiastic citizen of Utah': who wanted him to buy the Great,$alt Lake and set up works on tbe shore fpr , the evaporation of tbeealt in tbe lake.". ? But one of tho'Sn?st extensive pro? moters New York-has seen since the war has just come to town. He wants Mr. Depew to interest the Vanderbilts in a scheme to buy all the battlefields of the late war. He thinks this wonld be the greatest monopoly of tbe times. He does ?not promise 3ny benefits to the present generation of Vanderbilts and Depews, hut he is firmly convinced that if a stock company was formed, the directors of which should have power to name their successors in their willB, future Vander? bilts and future Depews would reap mil? lions from the purchase of these battle? fields. He says that they can be fenced around and in time made beautiful parks, and that in 100 and 200 years from now these parks will be magnets to draw thousands of visitors from all. over the country. "Then all you'll have, to do," be says, "is to charge them 25 cents ad? mittance, charge them for the hacks to convey them through the grounds,, lease the refreshment stands and the milHons are sure." Thomas C. Platt has been approached by people who want him to form a trust to control the crop of Florida oranges. Mr. Platt says he is too busy with his express company and hiB political friends to interest himself in any such movement. One interesting individual came to town the other day for the purpose of interest? ing one of the millionaires in a scheme to control importations of pictures and books from Paris, which would be offen? sive to the eyes of Deacon Anthony ComRtock. .The millionaire was to ap? point his visitor his agent. The agent was possessed of a medical diploma, and if the customs authorities became too in? quisitive his medical diploma was to be produced, and the agent could easily swear that the books and pictures were imported for medical purposes only. The promoter of this enterprise found himself on the sidewalk in a jiffy.?New York Sun. Save .the* Battle Fields. The removal of the old Libby prison from Bichmond to Chicago, - where it is to be exhibited by a syndicate of specu? lators, ought not to have been permitted by the Virginians. The historic land? marks of tbe South should be kept where they are, and they should not be sold to the Barnums of the North. But we are in danger of something worse than the Libby prison speculation. It is now proposed by a speculative northerner to purchase all the battle fields of the late war. fence them in, turn them into parks, and show tbem to visi? tors at twenty-five cents a bead. It will strike those who are acquainted with the situation that the great Ameri? can showman will have a big job on hand when he comes to tbe cluster or bouquet of battle-fields around Atlanta. ? Our old red bills have good csii?e to Be redder than any other hills thai ever trembled through tbe thunderous storm of war. Nowhere on American soil can there be found a spot that was ever bo pounded' aud mangled and harried and scorched as this same gate city of ours. All over the world there are men now living whose1 proudest boast is to say that "they went through our forty day's baptism of fire, or were in one of the many battles fought under our city's walle. We are not yet ready to sell our blopdi stained fields of glory to the glib stran? gers whose only interest in them is to coin money out of tbem. If we can do nothing better, let us level tbe grim fur tresses and the frowning ramparts and fill up the silent trenches once' so full of heroic life. Let us cover the scars of war 1 with the blooming industries of peace!? Atlanta Constitution. Dakota Is a Wonderful Country. That's what a resident of Dundee, Dak., says, and he doesn't seem to be much, if any, astray, in the remark if what;follows here from his pen is correct: "Persons coming to Dakota will do well, in the fall or winter, to rise up with the sun on any cool morning, and they will be well repaid for their trouble. As the sun is seen peeping over the horizon, if the morning is clear, one can see for ten, twenty and thirty miles, according to the levelness of the country. One can see timber thirty miles away, as if not more than six miles away, raised high in the air, so the sky can be seen between the mirage and the earth. Elevators and barns, houses and timber, ceem to be mountainous in size, even though they are twenty miles away; people and stock are seen with the naked eye much belter than with opera or field glasses, aud persons talking with each other two miles' away wiil be distinctly hoard." A Lovely Complexion Is something desired by every lady in tbe land. The easiest way to get that beautiful color to the skin in to first make the blood pure. The impurities must be removed by the administration of some reme'H.il agent whicli contains the moRt thorough alterative properties combined with those ingredients which tend not only to remove impurities of tbe blood, but also build up and invigorate tbe sys? tem. Such a remedy is Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic, which not only thorough ly cleanses the blood but also invigorates the system and leaves tbe patient in a thoroughly improved and healthy condi tion. The price is within the reach of all. 50 cents aud $1.00 a bottle, and every druggist in your town Bell it. Tay the Preacher, Boys. "There are man)' men in Atlanta," said one of the leading ministers, "who seem to think that a preacher's time belongs to the public at large, and that his services are of no value. I know of young men who are getting good BalarieB and when I'hey wanted to get married they would send for me. I would go and perform the ceremony, but tbey never thought of offering me anything. Several times I have been very busy at some important work when a messenger would come for me to say that some young man wanted me to come and marry him to some beautiful girl. Sometimes tbey send a hack for me and sometimes they don't. I go to the other side of town, perform the ceremony and that is the last of it.
