q. THE BALLOON ASCENSION
Created great stir among the vast crowd.
Morris, the ascensionist was dropped from
the basket by striking against tree,
which stunned BIN, and the balloon ioated
about half mile and fell.
PORTABLE FENCE.
The Committee on the Portable Fence,
exhibited by Beardon & Turk, regarded
it as one of the best inventions in use,
and advise all farmers to adopt its use.
TIE MASONIC BANQUET q.
at Springfield, Friday night, was well at
tended, and all speak of it as one of the
most agreeable entertainments arranged
and conducted by the fair ladies of that
section. The band of Springfield and
Wilson's string band of Nashville dis
coursed the finest music, and feasting, and
dancing and chatting, and counting filed
up the time till the wee sma' hours of
morning. Everybody was pleased, highly
delighted, and the managers have the
pleasure of reaping about 5000, nett
profits, enough to finish up the Masonic
building, the noble object for which the
entertainment was gotten up. We con-
graduate the ladies and all concerned on
their success, and only regret we could
not be there to enjoy the ovation. ~
THE CLOSING SCENE
was another ring of graceful riders, pre-
MUM to Thos. J. Shelton; certificate, T.
A. Townsend, after which the band
struck up the air of Dixie, and gradually
passed into dirge-like notes in memory of
Gen. r. E. Lee. ..
