CORRESPONDENCE.

MT. AYR AND WEST JASPER. Dr. J. T. Martin’s brother is a guest of the Dr’s, this week. Everybody should see the pacing and trotting races at Rensselaer next Saturday. The horses’are ffom'this vicinity. Ross Hawkins of Rensselaer was in town Wednesday on business. ... Miss Vesey Grow, Mr. Julian Hopkins, Miss Elsie Wasson and Mr. Clyde Comer spent Sunday Sept. 22nd, with Miss Ethel Hopkins at this place. The Mt. Ayr Band went to Remington, Thursday Sept. 26, to the Odd Fellows Picnic The Wheatfield horse buyer took a number of horses away with him this week. William Campbell of south of town had his heel cut off by a horse corn cutter, but is doing well at this writing.

LEE AND EAST JASPER.

Mr. Wood entertained friends at his home last Sunday. The Lee Sunday School was reorganized last Sunday and the following officers were elected. Supt. Joe Clark, Assistant Thos. Jacks, Sec, Mabel McCoy, Treasurer Wm. Rishling, organist Arty Gilmore. Mrs. E. W. Maxwell is quite sick at this writing, her daughter Mrs, Geo. Christy came up from Chalmers Monday to be at her bedside. Dam Rumor has it that a young lady from White Co. has decided to cast her lot with a young man from Jasper and has acted accordingly. Best wishes if this be so. Miss Iva Carrothers left Saturday for Monticello where she will attend high school this winter.

More Snake Incidents

Additional reports of the snake invasion of the latter part of last week, continue to come in. MrsAlfred Thompson saw one Saturday, lying right in front of her door. It was spotted, about two feet long, very flat and sluggish looking. She went after a club to kill it, but when she got back it had vanished in the grass and weeds. It undoubtedly was one of the so-called, spreading vipers, like the others, previously mentioned. The sudden appearance in town of so many snakes of a variety far from numerous, is certainly a remarkable circumstance. In all probability, moved by the mysterious instinct the creator of all things has emplanted in them they are moving towards some common meeting place where they will hybernate for the winter. And still another case of spreadi ing vipers has been reported. And this case, like that of Mrs. Thompson’s, was in the first ward, which as stated in our previous account, was supposed to have been kept clear of them by the united action of the joint keepers. This last one was found on Sunday however when .their vigilance would naturally have been relaxed. This one, a two footer, was killed by- B. F. Ferguson and S. C. Hammond, in Joe Hardman’s front yard, at his residence on South Cullen street. 400-8 lb baskets fancy Mich, grapes only 18c for 8 lbs worth 25c shipped with car load of peaches enables us to sell at 18c a basket.
