''Did you ever have a Ii ltle child

 Peculiar Accident
 WHEnLlNa Oct. ls.-Henrv Wool wine, a 12-year-old boy living in Valley Bend district, Randolph county, had an experience Monday which will im- press him more forcibly with the fact that there was war about 30 years ago and that several of the most i'm portant battles were fought in Ran dolph county than all the time he could spend over his school histories. He was playing in the woods when he found an iron ball weighing about 10 pounds. He had very little idea what II was, but upon examining it found 1t was hollow and contained black powder which he could shake out through small hole Boylike, he put a match to the hole, and almost in- stantly there was an explosion which almost tore one side of his face of, crippled one hand, and otherwise maimed and disfgured him. The flash from the explosion injured both eyes. The doctors think he will be blind. He had shaken good deal of the powder out of the shell or the result would have been very much more severe.
