Several days ago, a Mexican, living on Joe Pruitt's farm in the eastern portion of this county, was bitten by a rattlesnake. A son of Mr. Pruitt was immediately dispatched to Berclair, a distance of eight miles, with a note to Mrs. J.V. Lewis, a Christian Science lady, informing her of what had befallen the Mexican. Strange as it may seem, in about two hours after the boy left, the Mexican began to feel better, and in a short time all the pain and swelling caused by the poison from the snake-bite had left his body, and he was able to return to his work in the field, and has since experienced no ill effects from the bite. It took nearly two hours to get the note to Mrs. Lewis. This is the second snake-bite she has cured this summer. These and other cures, equally miraculous, will be vouched for by the best citizens in Berclair. Mrs. Lewis claims to heal by the same power the apostles did, and her cures are attracting considerable attention. She is well known in this and adjoining counties, having taught school here for many years.—
