John Johnson’s little black dog was bitten by a rattlesnake Sunday afternoon. and for a time, it was feared it would be necessary to kill the dog, but it finally began to improve, and it now seems it will get well. One of the family notioed the dog barking at some object across the road, near a rock, and started out to determine the cause, and arrived just in time to see the dog get bit The snake was

killed. This is the rattlesnake season from now until late in the fall and persons should be very cautious about picking up things from the ground, more especially on the low lands. The first rock was spread for the new rock road north of Lee Tuesday afternoon. Last week the big sand hills were shoveled down to considerable extent and a good portion of the road bed made ready for the rock. The sand hills will be covered first. Only two or three teams were at work Wednesday, but as soon 1 as the pit is opened up better, more teams can work.

The convention Sunday afternooi was attended by a good sized crowd and many interesting and helpfu thoughts were exchanged during th< course of the program. The fact that our county president, Arthur Way mire, had lost his wife, and also that Grandmother Mellender had beer buried only a few hours before th« convention assembled, caused a feeling of sadness for the friends and Sunday school workers. A resolution of sympathy for Brother Arthur Waymire was read and adopted before tju convention, and a copy of same was ordered sent to his address. These sad occurrences kept some of the outside talent away, but the program was quite interesting throughout. Especially were we favored with some beautiful selections of speaking and singing by the little Danley children, ol Lafayette, who with their mother are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Morris. Rev. D. E. Noland, of Rolling Prairie, also gave a very good talk on the work. Joseph Stewart was re-elected president and Miss Edna Letter secretary for the ensuing year.
