A Lee county Georgia negro
was retiring for the night on a
pallet on the floor of his cabin,
wden he felt something softer
than his pillow beneath his head.
Investigation proved that it was
a large rattlesnake, which had
made itself as comfortable as
possible on the pallet. The snake
measured four feet in length.
Mrs. Laura Speden. living on
Main street, was standing in the
yard about 5 o'clock last Tues
day evening when she was
stricken down, with paralysis.
She was immediately removed to
her room and everything done to
restore her life but it was no use,
and about, 7 o'clock the same
evening she quietly passed away.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs.
liaoto Dewery, of Fairmont, and
Mrs. Etta Long, of this city, with
whom she was living at the time
of her death. The funeral ser
vices took place to-day, Thurs
day.?Grafton Sentinel.
If the entire State of Texas
were planted with corn, and the
lulls were two feet apart, and
the rows were three feet apart
and if every man, woman and
child in the State of Connecticut
were set to work in the fields to
hoe the corn, and each person
wore able to, and did hoe two
hills in five minutes, it would
take this army of laborers 7 years
280 days and 7 hours to hoe every
hill of corn in the State, laboring
continuously day and night 365
days each year. To those persons
who have never stopped to con
sider how great a country they
are living in these figures may
fee of interest. The man who
fears that he could not elbow his
way around in the crowded West
without chaffing the nap of his
coat sleeves, may gather some
solace from the statement that
the entire living population of
the globe, 1.400,000,000 souls,
divided into families of five per
sons each, could be located in
I'exas, each family with a house
on a hall-acre lot. and there would
still remain 50,000,000 vacant

Writes A Careless Letter for I lie
Telegram.
I hiu not at all sure that I'm in a
mood to write a letter that -will interest
the many renders of the Txlkgium. To
live in New York and write for Clarks
burg people is an experiment with me. i
But what I shall say will havo more of i
u bearing on New York and its many 1
phases of life than on yonr romantic |
West Virginia.
I and the times are not awry. Fm
not complaining?not a bit of it Who
could pick flaws iu this throne of
America's pride,, "this favored but sin
cursed city of ours," as the ministers de
scrilni it every Sunday morning, after a
week of Duse at the theater, assorted
wickedness at the exclusive Vaudeville,
and oh! glorious memory, the "Old
Guard" ball?
Who cares whether the Illll-Mnrphy
Sheehan machine has lost a cog,whether
Panama is coming to us While Tammany
if? here, whether the "Baroness" Itlanc
skipped to western pastures down the |
[ back stairs while detectives were going
up in the elevator, whether whisky has
caused a big flop on Wall street, or
whether the "execrable mismanage
ment of our street cleaning depart
ment" excites the. "Indignant Citizen"
to breathless paragraphs in the pure
and upright pre*.? In fact, they're all
muddy mistakes, and as for the last
one, I'm inclined to bless rather than
curse the blamed commissioner; he
gives me a chance to show my new pat
ent leathers with their wobbly little
heels, which the boys laugh at and
love. But I'm abused right and left for
what my aunts say is "painfully worldly
nonchalance In one so young." Even my
best friends think I'm greedy enough to
press juice from the rind of the orange
of pleasure.
Jack inquired the other day what I
intended to do for Valentine's day.
"Send cooing doves and bleeding
hearts and eupids couchant with effu
sions like this:

answered scornfully. "What if we have
grown beyond paper valentines and lov?
poems In red ink? The only differencf
between now and grandma's time if
that she sent the doves and received
other things in return, while wo send
the other things without the doves as 9
blind. See?"
Now, grandma told me all about it.
She says silk stockings were the thing
for Valentine's day. The old boys used tc
send 'em by the dozen, and- the girls
went out for quiet little suppers with
their best valentines not so very differ
ent from the way we do it now."
Then Jack wanted to know whut the
proper thing for the day is at present.
There are a few unique gifts the girls
have prepared. Pretty little trifles
which make the hoary headed pessi
mists think wo've outlived the health
ful cjqpltement of giving.
For instance. Kit has made a risky
valentine for the man from Denver. He
called the other morning and found her
in a neglige, which brought him to land
at onoc. He admired it a lot, and made
Western comments on its fit. KU has
completed her conquest by slashing into
that morning gown ahd fixing it as the
sweeteat smoking jacket man ever saw.
