NOTICE FOR SEALED BIDS.
Monday afternoon, Jerry Atkinson
who lives . at Lorane some twelve
mile-4 watt df this place, had the
misfnrdnm Jo have his home dee-
troyed,by fiVe. As rear os can be
learned', Mrs. Atkinson started a fire
in the kitchen stove and went out
side for a time. In Homo manner,
probably by sparks lodging in
the moss 00 tbe roof, the house was
set on fire. Mr. Atkiuson. who was
working near by; also a boy near
the achoolhotiae discovered the fire
and gave the alarm. The teacher
aud the larger scholars and neigh-
bora succeeded in saving nearly all
the household gouda, but the build
ing was com| letely deetroyed. It
is stated chat there was a policy in

the ‘‘piñata.’’ Fvery child bega and
scrapes and saves the centavos for
weeks aud months ahead. All kinds of
articles are made especially for this
ceremony, aud every family vies with
Its friends anil neighbors to have Its
piñata more beautiful and fanciful than
any one else’s.
T be piñata Is really an earthenware
utensil which Is In general use for cook-

an olla nnd Is of brown pottery some
thing like the old fasblonod earthen

purse of the purchaser [termita. They
are round, |a>t bellied aud very lurge at
tlie top. They nre sold from door to
door ou tbe streets aud lu the markets.
They cost ouly 10, 15 or 20 centavos,
but the ollu Is the least expensive part
of the game.
The I sm I v of the olla for a woman la
covered with tissue paper; then a crin

bodice Is built up draped to represent
loose white waist, nnd alwve this Is
placed a false face. The hair Is made
with black paper, brutded Into one long
plait at tbe back, ns tbe women wear
their lialr lu Mexico. Sometimes a
