Bombshell in the Fire.
A named Holly while
plowing i ii a field a mile and a half
of town the other day, unearthed a
bombshell and threw it out on th
ride of the field. Yesterday after-
noon it was fun ml by a crowd of
colored children, who were delight-
ed with the beautiful plaything,
and after rolling it around the floor
fur a while, decided to place it in
the fire and sit and watch it melt.
This took place at the house of Jim
Kirk on East Market street, and a
few minutes after the bomb had
been deposited in the fire there
was a terrific explosion and a sound
of wailing in that household. Jim
Kirk's little girl, had
two fingers torn off and her brother
received a serious wound on the
leg. The exploded bomb which
was filled with balls, etc.,
mantle, tore a hole in
the roof of the house, set fire to a

furniture, and played havoc in

The President has appointed

People at the Weldon fair last

that unless the moral tone of the

BABY BAZAAR.
The Boy, Take all the
The ladies of the Methodist
church scored quite a success at
the baby which they held
in the opera house Thursday after-
noon. When the curtain went up
it showed a stage full of babies, all
kinds and sizes, some crying, some
laughing, but all sweet and pretty.
There was a Urge crowd present
and the little tots were much ad-
mired.
Then the ladies sold ice cream
and cake while the voting for
babies was in progress. When the
were counted it was
ed that William Cherry, little son
of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Cherry, bad
won the prize in the class under
one year old, a set of gold baby
pins; Larry James, little son of Mr.
and Mm. F. G. James, in the one
to three-year old class, a silver
spoon, and Charlie little
son of Mr. Mm. C. T. Mun-
ford, in the three six year old
class, a silver spoon.
Maud Hooker, little daughter of
Mr. and Mis. II. C. Hooker, re-
the second highest vote in
the first class. Adelaide Taft,
little d of Mr. and Mm. A.
Taft, and Dorothy Norman,
little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
S. Norman, tied as second highest
in the second class. Helen Laugh-
little daughter of Dr.
aid Mm. Charles
was second highest in the third
class. Every baby at the
bazaar received some votes, but
only the highest in each class re-
prizes.
The total receipts of the bazaar
was 943.95.
