especially so to young men. The
kind welcome, the warm hand
clasp, the word of comfort given,
by both Doctor and bis wife,
sent them away strengthened to
fight the evil within and without.
while true Southern hospitality
was dispensed without grudging
and the souls of the guests were
never left unfed. The question
What have they seen in thine
house? could never be asked of
them as it was of Hesekiah, for
theirs was a home where God
was loved and honored.

The Explosion OF Ere Works.

The approach of the holiday
season causes a great deal of ap-
prehensiOn in the minds of many
on account of the explosion of
fire works which usually attends
the celebration of Christmas.
The present has been an unusu-
ally dry year and unless rain in
tervenes and the strictest regu-
lations are enforced the explos-
ion of fire works this Christmas
will be attended by a degree of
danger never before encountered
here.
No doubt, Mayor Gunter has
the matter under consideration
and at the proper time will issue
his proclamation dealing with
this matter. Heretofore the ex-
plosion of fire works has been
prohibited in the business dis
trict and in the sections con-
tiguous to the warehouses. The
same rule will, doubtless, be en-
forced this year as well as ad-
ditional restrictions in the use
of explosives.

facilitates the work of copying
