II the night had been more quiet
aud the wind a. bit. more calm, the
balloons would have mounted higher
into the air, and gone in different di-

bound straight for Hhrtweji. Ca, and
tho chances are that some cs them
went about halfway there before they
burned out and dropped. There will
be pleasant surprises In store for the
persons, who not knowing OF the> bal

The Intelligencer Is indebted 10
Messrs. West OF the Ideal Grocery
CO., Mr.. Bleich of the Anderson
Theatre, Mr.. Curtis of the C. q w. q.
and sevefaf other gentlemen who as.
listed us In sending ap the balloons
The boys Behaved yery nicely indeed
only one boy threw rocks at the bal.
looms after he had been warned, and
then when the policeman spoke to
him rather sharply. he wished he had
minded better. Next time balIoops
ara sent up, that particular boy will
not throw rocks. that's certain, the OF.
ficer scared him pretty badly.
The people all seemed to enjoy the
evening. and the Ip.eiligencer force,
having the matter In charge enjoyed
the party as much as any kid In the
crowd. Here's hoping that the rler-
chants have another balloon party
again coon.
