Little Nellie Klingman, aged eight years, whose family live near Volga City, Clayton County, with her mother, was walking in the garden a few days since when a huge rattlesnake sprang at the child and bit her. She died in twelve hours. The snake, after being cut in two, bit a dog and the latter died in six hours.
