Sixth Grade of West End School the Hosts at a Delightful Enter tainment. The sixth grade of the West End school entertained about forty of their young friends on Tuesday af ternoon from four to six o'clock in the spacious hall of the school build ing. The guests were received by members of the grade and ushered into the hall, which had been beaui tifully decorated in class colors, blue and gold, festoons of numerous hearts, dainty valentines and other emblems of the season. The game of "Hearts Up" was first enjoyed, the boys, of course, winning. Then came the interesting distri bution of the valentines from a prettily improvised post office, with Miss Amy Wertz as post mistress, Miss Elsie Gilliam and Master Her bert Ammons assistants. Many we're the exclamations of joy as the sweet missives were received. To Misse.s Elsie 'Gilliam and Bessie Lake were presented valentine blotters, they having received the largest number of valentines. There was evidence of much curi osity when the valentine pie was "served." But all Was joy again when each guest found in his posses sion a sweet (candy) heart. Quite a good deal of merriment was caused by the reading of'the m6ttoes on the hearts. Delicious fruit -punch, cake and mints were served by Misses Marie Evans, Lizzie Adams and Bessie Lake. With the playing of other games the afternoon soon passed away and the young guests reluctantly took their leave. The sixth grade are receiving many congratulations upon the success of their first reception which was so thoroughly enjoyed by all who were 3o fortunate as to ,be among the guests. Those present were: Misses Pearl Davis, Grace Jones, Anna Werts, Es telle Morris, Ellen Lake, Lizzie Koon, Daisy Evans, Celeste Taylor, Janie Vines, Leone Swindli- Maud Kibler, Jennie, Belle Burton, Annie Kinard, Sarah Chaney, Nolia .Banks, Katie Franklin, Jessie Mae Ward, Hixie Peeler, Lessie Bouknight, Mag gie Jones, Estelle Cotney, Marfe Evans, Lizzie Adams, Elsie Gilliam, Bessie Lake, Amy Wertz; Masters John Todd, James Kinard, Joseph Livingston, James Hendrix, Wil-lie Thorntop, David Thornton, Ernest Bouknight, Willie Adams, Thomas Hair, George Ammons, Pope San ford , Julian, Bedenbaugh, Robert Livingston, Herbert A mmons.9 THE FIRST TO RESPOND.

Frank M. Schumpert, - J. P.. N. C. A BIG EXPLOSIO. The Tool Box Used by Sewerage Con, tractors Blown Up By Dyna mite. >The sount of an explosion Tues day evening at eight o'clock caused general consternation among those who herd it. Nearby windows rat tied and'some people got scared. It was mystifying; there was only one report, but it was loud and startling, and coming at that hour inexplic a'ble. All knew it was not from blast ing, as work had ceased, and it did not sound like blasting. The mystery deepened,--and ibefore it was solved there were all sorts of wild rumors afloat. One snan told another that that comet with the long tail had hit the ground and made a hole large enough to swallow the opera house; whereupon the .other man answered that he "knew the blamed thing would play thunder." Some had it that a man had been killed by the explosion-blowa, to' atoms, etc., and it is a wonder they didn't find his legs at Prosperity and his arms at Silver Street. In due course of time it 'as dis covered that the explosion occurred at the point where the hands are ar, work on the sewerage extension, on the old Phil Livingston place about a mile and a quarter out. And people went to the spot, just like they will go to a dog fiht or fany old- thing. Mr. D. A. Rivers, who runs the lead ing conveyance on the Newberry hack line, took a representative of The Herald and News to the scene to re port the thing. But, as the foreman said, there was nothing much to re port. The #reporter found a large number of hands doing exeellent worc and the sewerage system is progress ing and it looks busy out there. As to the explosion, it is still a mystery that is the cause is unsolved. One theory is that some one had thrown a' lighted cigar or. cigarette stump in the box; another is that it was the work of an incendiary'" as it is said a neighbor saw fire on the outside be fore the explosion. There were about eight sticks of dynamite in. the box where the explosion occurred, and it was the first time dynarDite.had been pat in the box where the tools were kept. It is of course known that dy namite ,won't burn, so it must have been jarred by some mneans, as it could ,not have been from spontan eous combustion.. At .any rate there had been fire in the box, the dy namite burst, tools scattered with handles burnt off, and. a pick was broken in two. Mr. J. Ti. Wardlaw, resident enginer, had a fine engin eer's transit and level in the box; his instruments were ruined, and hie is the heaviest loser.
