Mr. P. 1). Sneatheii, of South Boston, left at this office last week a large bas-kefful of long keeping apples, which

for size, soundness, freshness and lla-

vor. we have never seen equalled a t this season of the year. Among the varie-ties we notice the S u m m e r Sweet Para-

Baldwin. Tallman Sweet . Yellow Bell-flower. If there is a secret in the ar t of

preserving apples Mr. Sneathen seems to be in |Kissession of it. These beauties

might have been seen a t this office last week. Now, there is nothing left of

them except the sweet memory tha t l ingers around the many cores tossed

ou t of the window. If Mr. Sneathen

will accept our thanks as cheerful ly as we received thr f ru i t there will be no

trouble.

The teachers association of Northern

Kent held a pleasant and successful meet ing in this village last Sa turday. Several excellent papers were read and discussed, and many interesting ques-tions were called up that drew out a

f ree exchange of views and opinions, beneficial to all concerned. A two days' session would have lieen none too long

and in fu ture the programme should lie arranged, if possible, so as to include

t w o good evening lectures and four half

d a y sessions. It takes nearly one whole day to fairly "break the ice" and get ac-quain ted . The second day would see m u c h more accomplished than the first. For a short session the association did

remarkably well here. There was ex-cellent music, and the discussions were

of a character calculated to enlighten and benefit. The secretary's report will

be found in this number of the Jol'K-NAL.

which has now about expired. A joint chat te l mortgage upon the entire s to t j t of the firm for $25.0(10. r unn ing f r o m

of the principal reasons for the firm be-coming so heavily involved is tha t wi th o ther parties, they have been engaged in certain lumber si>eculations. which proved disastrous. Mr. S. A. Kennedy,

The Flint Citizen tells this cheer fu l s tory: On Tuesday last, while Mr. L. E. Hill of Davison was plowing a piece of mucky land upon his f a rm he was sud-

denly at tacked by a huge black snake

which came at him savagely. Mr. Hill disengaged himself f rom the plow, and ihe only weapon he could find to defend

himself with was a long rail. He m a d e several blows at the snake and com-

menced to retreat backwards, but t he reptile dodged bis aim and followed him. After retreat ing a tew step* Mr. Hill heard something behind him and look ing round beheld another snake almost

as large: he s t ruck at this one and it also gave battle. Mr. Hill fought des-perately for a few moments and finally

killed both snakes. The largest, he said, measured seven feet in length, and was

as large as a man's a rm below the elbow the other was only a few inches shorter .
