Some of the Casualties. This Christmas, as is' usually the case, did'not pass oft without recording some painful accidents to oar citizens. These large fire crackors, commonly known as cannon crackers are getting to be very dangerous articles, and, judging from the fearful report they make and the way they tear up the ground where they explode, they must be charged with dynamite, and children should not be allowed to handle them, if men handle them thev should be verv careful. Evans, a 15-year-old son of Mr. R. W. Tinsley, while shooting fire works at his home Christmas night held^'ono ofj these large fire crackers in his hand until it exploded and it mutilated his hand in a terrible manner, making it necessary to amputate two of his fingers. Capt. Jas. E. Hunter held one of the large crackers in his hand and lit it off, a friend standing near, noticed that he was slow about throwing it, and cried out to him to drop it quick, but he did not do it and the thing exploded in his hand, tearing the glove he wore into shreds and tearing his hand up badly blowing off the end of one of his fingers and splitting his thumb loose from his hand. Mr. Hunter afterwards said he could not turn it loose. Possibly suddenly realizing his danger his nerves were paralyzed. Mr. L. C. I)onl, the telegraph operator and ticket agent here, lighi ed one and as he drew it back in hia hand to ihrow it, it exploded near his ear aud tore his hat up and it is (oared injured if it did not destroy the drum of his right ear. We hope it. will uot result in a permutient injury. as his oar is his greatest dependence in his business as telegraph operator. A little son of Mr. Horace Lee. near the knitting mill, allowed a large cracker to explode in his hand and the hand was badly mutilated as a consequence. The little fellow has suffered very much with his hand. We learn that there were several injuries of a more or le*s serious nature over on.factory hill, but we have not learned tbe particulars. Wo are very sorry that these casualties should have occurred, but it goes to prove that people cannot be too careful in the handling of fire-1 works. ! Discussion Waxes Warm.

While we have possibly one or t>vo b..ot sod rs who have lK*en met and overcom h the way-aide, we tli.d s -veral recruits j >i i ig our side, and the fun goes on.

A little friendly discussion will do no harm, qiid may start, a healthy development of thinking minds in somewro have been c intent to let others do the think aot, then hook on to their favorites ideas.
