A Macon dispatch of the 20th
to the Atlanta Journal relates
the following singular boyish
folly: "Roy Wilson, a school
boy about sixteen years old, was
brought into Macon from James
Station, in Jones county, last
night -to be treated for injuries
-sustained in a powder xplosion.
The young man put some pow
der in his dinner bucket, drop
ped in a coal of Are and attempt
ed to fasten down the lid to see
how high the explosion would
blow it. The explosion occurred
before the lid was put on and
the powder almost put out both
the eyes of the young man. Roy
is the son of Mr. V M Wilson,
who was badly .scalded in the
Central railroad boiler explosion
here January 2. Both father and
son are now suffering with badly
turned faces. Roy's eyes may
possibly be saved, but he will
suffer a long time."

The acre of land that will pro
