and a restoration to family

There will be cut on both sides of

CONTEST EXTENDED.
Popular Lady Decision Will BE
Postponed Sixty Days.

1t is proper to add at this time,
when no advantage has been Sc
cured by any contestant foretelling
the probable outcome of the Popu-
lar Lady Voting Contest, that it
has been decided to extend for
about sixty days the time that the
contest will run. 1t will close not
later than March 4th, 1908. The
postponement has been decided up
on for several reasons. One is that
many subscribers begin in Janu-
airy and these will be given an OPP
portunity to renew.
Another reason is that the ex-
tension of the time will remove the
difficulties in the way of many de-
linquents who have promised to
pay up as soon as they realize on
tobacco and other crops. Many do
not sell until after the holidays.
The interest is growing in the con-
test, which was not fully under
stood at first and the time set, Dec.
29,has been found to be too short for
the purposes the contest was in
tended to accomplish. A post
ponement will work no harm to any
contestant and will undoubtedly
contributed largely to the success
of the contest from a business
standpoint.

UNEARTHED A BOMB.
Relic of War Times Dug Up On
Main Street.

Workmen in making an eXcava-
ton on South Main Street Saturday
in the rear of Mr.. o. II. Anderson s
new house, found three feet below
the surface bombshell about three
inches IN diameter. 1t was still
loaded and will weigh about two
pounds. The lot where it was
buried was recently purchased by
Mr.. Anderson from the heirs of the
late H. A. Phelps, and the spot
where it was unearthed was not
more than SO feet from the Phelps
homestead. How it got into the
ground is a mystery. The lot has
not been filled in for many years.
In fact it is on top of a hill, where
it has perhaps never been raised.
The bombshell is in a good state
of preservation. 1t is closed with
wire and was made to explode
with cap inside. There were
some stirring times here during the
war, but no bombardment of the
city, and the shell must have
been dropped by some one
thrown into the vacant lot,
perhaps falling into a posthole or
something of the sort. If any OF
the older citizens can throw any
light upon the find, we would be
glad to hear from them. 1t was
found on the lot next to Mr.. S. r.
Trice, who has lived at the same
place for so years. q
