From Georgia via Sacramento-
Workers are restoring a 1,250-pound cast bronze bell at one of Georgia's oldest churches.
The historic bell at Christ Episcopal Church is a replacement for one that was melted into Confederate bullets during the Civil War.
The Telegraph reports (http://bit.ly/R4wyFf) that the bell rang for nearly 150 years after that until this year, on Easter Sunday, when it fell out of the bracket holding it.
Church sexton Robert Hubbard said the bell didn't fall far, but about a foot of its lip broke off in two pieces.
