Rensselaer Standard, Volume 1, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1879 — An Alphabetical Snake. [ARTICLE]

An Alphabetical Snake.

We dc not like to tell snake stories; they are dangerous applications to one’s .reputation. But Mr. James Ingram, of this country, sends us it specimen of a snake—a kind we never saw before * peculiar that we are compelled to t .kc notice of it." The snake is thirty-oue and three-quarter inches in length, of a trim, slim shape, and is strangely marked, having all the letters of the alphabet in plain characters upon its back in large capitals. No one to whom it has been shown knows any name for it, or ever saw one like it.—[Crawfordsville (Ga.) Democrat. T \ « . .. ; v ! - - : ■
