Comet to Visit Earth in June, Feb. 15, 1921

Some of the world famous astronomers are predicting that the Pous-Winnicke Comet will come in contact with the earth on June 26th. If they were right, and the generally are, we will have the greatest display of fireworks this generation of people has ever seen. So keep the date in mind and if there are any free fireworks, take advantage of them.

From the front page of The Enterprise, Williamston, N.C., Feb. 15, 1921. There’s a comet called Pons-Winnecke but I couldn’t find one called Pous-Winnicke. The comet was first noted by Jean Louis Pons in Marsailles in 1819. This comet caused quite a stir when early calculations for its arrival in 1921 indicated that it might collide with Earth in June, but observations on April 10 ruled out the collision.
