The committee to supply the public with entertainment on the night of the inaugural has decided to have the exhibition of fireworks eX- clusively aerial, for the reason that set pieces are less satisfactory even at close sight and also because the high soar ing fireworks may be witnessed com fortably by immense numbers with out the annoyance of great crowds

TWO HOUSES BURNED.
Homes of Nelson Sapp and Tom
Keith Destroyed by Fire.

The fire department responded to an
alarm from Rosstown Wednesday night
at twelve o'clock. The scene of the
|confagration was the home of Nelson
Sapp, colored. The department was
unable to accomplish much in extin-
gushing the blaze, owing to the great
distance of the burning house from a
water plug and the Roadway which
the fire had made before the alarm
was sent in.
For these reasons, and on account of
the high rate of speed at which the
wind was blowing, it was also impossi-
BILE to save the adjacent house of Tom
Keith.
There was insurance to the amount
of $400 on each of the houses burned.
The origin of the fire is unknown. This
is the second time that the houses of
Sapp and Keith have burned within
the past few months, both being in the
same place as formerly. The first time,
however, Keith s home was the origi-
nal scene of the fire and from it
Sapp's house caught, both being
burned to the ground.
