BALLOONISTS AT DUMMERSTON.

Game From Pittsfeld, Mass.

After a seven-hour trip in the clouds
Saturday night William G. Bramhall and
j. A. Benton of Boston, who made mid
night ascension in the balloon Massachu-
setts from Pittsfeld, Mass, Saturday
night, with Van Sleet, as pilot, descended
at Dummerston at O'Clock Sunday morn
ing in lot near the house of e. O.
Downs and breakfasted in the village
The balloon was tied to a tree while the
aeronauts were at breakfast. The distance
in an air line from Pittstield, is about 65
miles.
For long periods Saturday night the bal
loon remained stationary in the upper air
and no attempt was made to negotiate
landing. Toward morning, by iockeying
the balloon the party reached East AL
stead, N. H., where landing was made.
An air current was found which swept the
balloon over the state line into Vermont
and in the direction of Dummerston. This
is the first time in the experience of pilot
Van Sleet that a balloon party has
stopped en- route for food and re-entered.

Mail Boxes on a Wheel.

Mr.. Y. E. Young, a prosperous
farmer Of Panther Branch Township,
Wake County, has unique arrange
ment for rural mail boxes. He is a
great believer in the rural free de-
livery service and wants to do any
thing that he can to advance the
cause or that will aid the rural car
rier in his work, Several neighbors
get their mail on the road near Mr.
Young's home, and he has erected a
structure so that the rural carrier
can sit in his buggy and put mail in
hVe boxes without having to drive
to the separate boxes. He placed a
buggy axle in perpendicular posi-
uon' then putting buggy wheel on
top part of axle he fastened his
mail box, and those belonging to his
helghbors, on the wheel. Now the
carrier by simply turning the wheel
can put the mail in each farmers
Dox In less time and with less trou-
Ole than when he had to drive to
each mans box to deposit his mail
MT. 1oung's idea is a novel one. and
WILL doubtless, be adopted in other
communities.

Street Fairs q Nuisance.

Many of our readers in the various
towns and cities of the State where
street fairs have been permitted will
approve the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois which declares that
street fairs are a nuisance" The
people in many North Carolina towns
have been afflicted with this nuis-
ance often enough to know what a
pest a street fair or carnival is. It
is surprising that the people of any
town who have once been subjected
to such a nuisance would put up
with a second experience. But still
every time some benevolent organiza-
ton asks for permission to contract
with one of these concerns for a
weeks exhibition for charitable pur-
poses the town officials have not the
courage to say no." and whoever
wants to pull off one of these nuis-
ances under the cloak of charity is
granted the permission. Let us
hope that for the future the NUM-
cipal authorities of every town in this
State will have the backbone to re-
fuse to permit such exhibitions in
the streets of their bailiwicks.
