The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Fe-

torn up by a dynamite cap at their
home near Jonesvifle Crossing on
Saturday morning. While playing
with the cap he placed it on hot
cook stove just as he reached for the
cap it exploded, causing both hands
to be badly burned, and considerably
torn up. DR.. w. M. Kemp was sum-
moned and he is at this time doing as
well as could be expected. 1t is
thought by the parents that the child
must have found the cap about the
premises where some one had care
lessly thrown away. Mr.. and Mrs.

loose his hands.

Miss /. V. Cassidy has been alb
sent from school the past week on
account of case of mumps
We don't think there is a home in
this community but what has mem
Der who can devote little time each
day to the hoe. This should be con-
sdered as much a part of patriotism
as to buy thrift stamps or knit for
the soldiers. We should do our part
to finance the war but of what avail
to furnish money If we fail to feed
the army. So if you have not a hoe
you had better purchase one at
once.
