Sandersville Progress July 11, 1935
  Monday morning C.W. Lord was displaying seventeen rattles and a button as the 
trophy after the killing of a huge rattlesnake on the Ohoopee river, ten miles 
south of Tennille. The snake was treed by a dog and was making music with his 
rattles as he coiled in position to strike and inject the venomous poison into 
any one approaching close enough. The snake was killed by a stroke from a stick 
which was used effectively on his head as it stood aloft above his body.
  There are quite a number of rattlesnakes in various sections of the county 
and all should be cautious in order to prevent being attacked by these deadly 
reptiles.
