in his line away from home, can't

for all merchants to patronize each
other.

week-there's sixteen pages of it and
something good on every page-then

q subscriber, and if he be Democrat
so much the better. There are polit-
zeal facts in it that will do anyone
good to read and especially a person
J of Democratic persuasion.

The visitors at the Gays Mill fair
last Thursday witnessed horrible
sight along about four o'clock in the
afternoon when the balloon ascension
took place. The balloon, which was
an old affair, was inflated and the as
cension took place. 1t was somewhat
patched and leaked; when it arose to
about 100 feet, with parachute at
tached, smoke began to issue from a
rend in the top of the balloon, which
still rose to height OF about 200 feet
when it suddenly bursted and fell
about half way to the ground before
the parachute opened and the sudden
jerk OF the huge umbrella when it
opened, knocked the ascensionist
whirling in the air and he fell to the
| ground, striking on his head and
shoulders. His jaw, nose and arm
were badly crushed and he died few
minutes later. The gentleman's
name is A. p. Deer and he was "a
years OF age and lived at 81 Beder
street, Chicago, where he has a wife.
/ This was his 321st ascension in the
twelve years in which he was at the
| business and was in the employ OF
the Dickey Balloon Co., of Chicago.
His body was shipped to that city.
