THE WEDDING AND
CHRISTMAS TREE.
Greenwood Furniture Company Center
OF Attraction Monday Afternoon.

The Greenwood Furniture Co.'S store
was the center of attraction last Mon
day afternoon.
AT one o'clock the event that attract
cd great crowd OF people was the mar
riage Of MIR. Chas. II. Chenoweth and
Miss Bessie Sue McNamar, of Grenada,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
j. Il. Hughes in the large show window
Of the store. The Company gave the
bride and groom a $4,000 set of furni-
ture for being married In it's show win
dow, besides paying their expenses and
buying the license for them. This is an
established custom OF the Greenwood
Furniture Co, and Is proving to be one
of the best advertisements the firm has
ever devised.
Three o'clock was tho hour set apart
at this popular store for the Christmas
tree given complimentary to the child
rem OF Greenwood and vicinity. The
tree was artistically arranged and con-
tained appropriate presents for each
Of the vast assemblage of children pres

little ones, and they were a unit In
praising Manager N. s. Wright for pro-
viding them such rare entertainment
and having distributed among them so
many pretty presents.
The Commonwealth eongratulates the
firm upon the success attending both

Some Wonderful "BugIe'' Hounds

Speaking of dogs, there is a pack of
little "bugle' hounds owned by DIR. Dave
Humphreys that must not be overlooked.
These dogs are good for hunting the fox,
deer, cats and coons, but their speciality
Ia catching rabbits, and this they do to
perfection. There are 2S of these "bu-
GLE hounds and they are very fast and
give great deal OF mouth. In fact, they
run 10 fast and bark SO loud and long
that old 4cotton-tail" can hear "bugle"
hounds In front of him, behind him.
above and below him, and he thinks
there are ten thousand "bugle" hounds
after him, 10 be usually runs against
tree and commits suicide! The Doctor
says when these dogs are in full cry
after rabbit, coming toward him, he
can see the dogs before he can hear their
voices, as their speed is faster than the
sound, and that they are the only dogs
in the world capable of outrunning their
own bark ! These dogs are great jump
ers, too. One Of them, the Doctor calls
"Puck,' met big deer while running at
full speed, and the Doctor says the deer
jumped twenty-one feet high and Puck
jumped little higher than the deer.
The only thing that keeps this dog from
jumping out Of his skin is because he is
hide-bound. These dogs are very intel
ligent and can distinguish the Doctors
different friends, and seems to know the
kind Of chase they like best, as they al
ways run cats for Doctor Brister, fox for
General Keesler, and when MIR. Walker
Bell goes they know that 1t means meat
in the pot and they will not run any
thing except a 'possum or deer. You
would naturally suppose that when the
Doctor carried all his hunting friends to
the Club House these dogs would be
confused not know what kind OF ami
NAL to hunt--but not so with the 'bugle'
hounds! They are always equal to the
occasion, and will split up the pack and
run everything In the woods from
ground-squirrel to a Jersey cow--so
everybody will be pleased DR.. Hum
phreys discovered the "bugle' hound in
1899, and we learn that since that time
this pack Of dogs have caught on an
average Of 2S rabbits each day, making

DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Hot Water Tank txplOdes and Serious
iy Hurts Gus ArOn.

A destructive fire occurred on South
! Main street at about I o'clock Christmas
morning, in which two cottages were
burned and several persons narrowly es-
capped losing their lives.
The cottages destroyed were the
property of Dr. c. N. d. Campbell
Are originating in the one occupied by
Mr.. S. G. Estes and family. The other
was not quite completed and unoccu-
pied.
1t seems that Mr.. Estes little child's
Roman candles, fire-crackers, ETC.,
caught fire and before assistance could
reach it the room was almost In mass
of flames, and the child was rescued
barely in time to save Its life.
The fire department reached the
scene as quickly as possible and begun
work to get the flames under control
and prevent the adjacent houses from
catching. While engaged in this work
the hot water tank attached to the
kitchen range exploded with terrific
force, scattering pieces of wood, ETC., in
every direction, knocking people right
and left and causing a general stampede
for few minutes.
MIR. Gus Aron was struck by piece OF
timber, breaking his collar bono and
otherwise iniurng him. and for short
while it was thought his injuries would
prove fatal. However, he was soon con-
voyed on cot to the home of his par
ents, and, with the skillful care OF his
physicians, is getting along as well as
could be expected, considering the SER
iousness OF his injuries. His many
friends wish for him speedy recovery.
Richard Bolton, John Crawley, Chief
Dauphine and others received slight in
iuries from the explosion, but neither
was disabled as result.
AS soon as possible after the explosion
the flremen had the hose at work again
and prevented the spread OF the fire.
DIR. Campbell had $1,000 insurance on
the two cottages, and his loss was about
$4,000.
Some of Mr.. Estes household goods
we're saved, but his loss was consider
able.
