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.
Wo knew we wouM get into the river
it. high tide when we U?ok up the standard
of the advocates of the < atlj approuh
of the new centurj, l>ut we prepared out selves
with :i good life-prrsetver, \yhieh
?? . f. It sure would keep us afloat during
the storm, and we are floating along
.a reiiely as snug"u.s a bug in the i ug
wiiil.. the heaving billows round us roll.
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.
It iSiflhu-ingto lbteu to the arguments cf
two elogueut ad *oe itftf one on either si?l *
.iDp aling to the third party who has not
gi\pii the matter much thought and liuiin

and finally goes oft in disgust reina.a>n;
dashed if he knows which is which. It
li is quit? a little fun added to the al'
rnui.d enjoyment of the holiday pleasures.
Let evmont keep their tvinpeis wed
und.r control and let the discussion go
on in a friendly manner. Down ymu
man in the atguinent if you can, but
don't get unad and fly off the liaudle if
you cannot make him see it as you do.
rtie more you discuss it the more convint*
d you will become that this is the
biggest little thiug you ever looked into.
A little friendly discussion will do no
harm, qiid may start, a healthy development
of thinking minds in somewro

think aot, then hook on to their favorites
ideas.
