“The Woman with ihe SerpentTongue." i

A subscriber semis us the poembelow with h .lequest tn publish andgive information as to the authoretc. The verses iu question "werewritten about five years ago byWilliam Watson, an English poet,and at the tin e. it Created muchcomment as it was believed that rtpersonated bnevof Fuglnod'shnostfamous women, whose ImsbqiyJwas a member of the Euglisn Par-liament:Slie is not old, she is nut yojung.The woman with the tonguei lie haggard’ cheek, the hutfggHng eye.The poisoned words that Wildly fly,Tlie famished face, the fevered hand—Who slights the worthiest in the land.Sneers at the comlnuh* ttifet'brave.And blackens goodness in its grave.In truthful members be it sung,The woman with the serpent’s tongue.Concerning whom fame hints at tilingsTold hut in shrugs and whisperings;Ambitious from her natal hour,And scheming aL her life for power,With but little left of seemly pride,With veuomed fangs she cannot hide,Who half wakes love to yon today,Tomorrow gives her guest away,Burnt up within by that strange soulShe cannot slake, or yet control;Malignant lipp’d, unkind, unsweet;Past all examples indiscreet;Hectic and alwaysThe woman with the serpenfjs tongue.To think that such, ns slu: can marNamesAhat among the noblest are;That bauds like hers can touch Ihe

springsThat moves who knows wliat men and

things;That on her will their fates have, hung!The woman witti the serpent’s tongue.

The report of the late grandjnry, sitting at the February termof Noxubee circuit court;, revealsa terrible state of affairs in thatcounty. If the report be true,Noxubee county contains a perfect'network of blind tigers which ex-list at Macon, Brooksville, Shuqua-lak and'over I lie county at largeand even the Ag {cultural High

ho >1 at Mashulaville is sufferingfrom the “baneful effects of thetiger.” The r-port further saynt'

That when ti.e tiger keepers are,indiefed the witnesses giving thellie testimony are se. upon by thetigers with bulldozing, bluffingor threats, at and when .1 white manis indicted fpr retailing a few-ofhis 'associates get together andplan br create a chimney corneratmosphere in his behalf.''

'From the above report oue canonly draw ope of two conclusions;That outlawry and depravity isra'iripunt and in the ascendencyin Noxubee, or that the grandjury that sent om the report, had“gone daffy.”

The heaviest, rainfall of theseason was recorded Wednesdaymorning, after a downpour tlienight before; 2.65 inches was re-corded. Most of the rainfall wasbetween midnight and daylight,and was accompanied by quite, anelectrical dtsplay but with verylittle ‘wind. The storm was of cy-clone proportions in EasternA1 ibama and Georgia and seyOrallives were lost and much propeitydestroyed. 1

It would behard to estimate thenumber of cabbage plants thathave been sold in Sujrkville thisseason to gardeners and truckfarraeis. The Humber will go wayup tuto the thousands and if everyplant produces a cabbage bead, wewill have cabbage to ship tomarkets this year.
