members here tomorrow. Balloons
owned by the club members in Bos-
ton, Springfield, North Adams and
Pittsield are expected to take part in
the ascension. Practically all of the
ballooning this season has been done
by the New England clubs, and one
of the objections filed against the club
officers at the recent annual meeting
was that nothing had been done in
the way of old-fashioned ballooning
for the members this year. The new
board of directors therefore decided
upon the carnival as a means of pla-
eating some of the members, and,
with five or six balloons starting at
once. the event is expected to be the
largest balloon feature held in the
east this year.

WHY SUFFER-
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Germs.

Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will
be foul, you will hawk and spit, and
you will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
germs of catarrh have got you in their
power; they are continually and per-
sistenly digging into and irritating
the mucous membrane of your throat
and nose. They are now making your
life miserable; in time they will sap
your entire system of its energy, it's
strength, its vigor and vitality
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment.
Bratton, the druggist, will guaran-
tee Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money
back, Don't delay this pleasant anti
septic treatment. Breathe in Hyo-.
mel and kill the germs.
Bratton Drug CO. will sell you
complete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, for only s1.OO. 1t is also guar
anteed TO cure bronchitis, asthma,

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 27.-Interest-
ing exercises were held today in OBJ
seryance of the forty-fifth anniversary
of the execution of Sam Davis, the
noted Confederate scout, who was cap
tured in the federal lines at Pulaski,
Tenn, Nov %, 1868, with papers CIV
ing the field positions of the federal
troops, and hanged as spy five days
later by order of General Dodge.
Had | thousand lives, | would
lose them all before l would betray
my friends were the words spoken by
Davis as he sat on the edge of his
coffin, condemned to be executed,
after General Dodge had offered him
his horse, side arms and an escort
to the federal lines if he would tell
who the traitor was from whom he
obtained the papers found on him
when captured.
The last session of the Tennessee
legislature made an appropriation for
a statue of Davis to be erected on Cap
itol Hill in this city The statue is of
bronze and of heroic proportions and
was modelled by George Julian zol-
nav, the we'll known sculptor.
