GREAT METEOR IS
SEEN BY NUMBER
HUGE CELESTIAL BODY FELL
NEAR CITY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
At 10 O'CLOCK.

A huge meteor, casting light that
could be seen for miles, fell some
where in the southern portion of the
county Wednesday night about ten
o'clock.
The great celestial body seemed to-
be many feet long, and just before
reaching the earth seemed to split
into a thousand pieces, making a
memorable impression upon the
minds of those who were fortunate
enough to see it.
Many were under the impression
at first that a German torpedo or aer-
oplane was scouting this section, and
was getting ready to descend upon
US, bringing death and destruction.
The light was 80 bright that it seem
ed that thousand search lights had
been turned upon the inhabitants OF
the county.
1t was impossible to locate this
, morning where the meteor fell. One
man thought that 1t fell near the
edge Of the city. another out about
the Halliday farm, while still another
gentleman gave 1t as his opinion that
1t struck the earth about the Aaury
and Giles county line.

WHO VIEWED WORK
HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES MADE
BY BOYS AND GIRLS SHOWN
WEDNESDAY.
FILLED FIVE WHOLE ROOMS

Departments of County High School
Exhibited to the Public.

Five whole rooms of the Central
High School were filled Wednesday
afternoon with the exhibits of the
manual arts, domestic science, com.
mercial and agricultural departments
of the school. They were viewed and
admired by hundreds of interested
friends and patrons of the school.
The exhibits were little short of a
revelation to those who we're not &C.
quainted with the work that is done
by the pupils of the city and county
in these departments. Many thought
that the boys and girls were simply
taught reading and writing and arith'
metic.
But behold, in one room, there was
the daintiest handiwork of every
kind, made by the skilled and train
ed hands of the girls of the school
In another room, there was shown
cakes and pies and preserves and
strawberry shortcake, doughnuts anC
crullers, cookies and biscuit, all made
by the girls in the domestic science
department Many a housewife look
ed enviously at them Wednesday aft
ernoon when they saw them, and won
dered that mere school girls could
work such wonders in the culinary
line.
In three other rooms still wal
shown the work of the pupils in th'
manual arts department, work tina
had been done under the direction o
Mr. Duke and Miss Smith. Their
we're hundreds of dainty pieces o
work, pieces of linen, drawings, book
skillfully bound, tabarets, lawI
swings, benches, chairs, other arti
Giles too numerous to mention. Onl
the naked eye could appreciate tn
skill and care with which the worl
was done.
The pupils of Prof. Galloway ha
another whole room full of thei
work. There were shown analyses Q
soil, exhibits of farm machinery, an
: other things of interest to the boy
who come from the farm.
The exhibit of the commercial d.
partment was also very interesting
. Prof. Harris showed several spec
mems Of the typewriting, shorthan

boys and girls.

A little girl in the audience ex-
pressed it very we'll when she said to
her mother, Il could listen to her all

who was sitting nearby, concurred in
the judgment of the little girl. Said
he, 81 have gotten the value of my
