Fireworks weren't the only things exploding over the holiday weekend. Early Sunday morning, a bomb blew up in a Newton County mailbox in the third such incident this year, according to the victim. The force of the blast turned the metal shell of the mailbox inside out and hurtled a piece of it about 30 yards up a hill into the resident's front yard, according to a Newton County Sheriff's Office report.
