may have an Inspector of balloons.
Wilbur Wright has voiced such a
suggestion and the International

 Wisdom was a Confederate mail car rier and when Straight and his band of federal raiders passed through Gadsden and proceeded up the west bank of the Coosa river preparatory to crossing and making a forced march to Rome, Wis dIm, with a fleet-footed horse, started from the east shore of the river, shortly after nightfall on his perilous trip, COW ering the distance in less than seven hours and using on the trip seven horses. He arrived at Rome six hours ahead of General Straight and the city was pre- pared for the latters coming, General Straight and many of his men being taken prisoners.
 The city of Rome presented Wisdom with a costly silver service and 400 in cash, besides giving a cash purse of $400 to the woman who furnished Wisdom a horse for the last leg of his Journey.
