The Herald Is in receipt of a letter
from the Mills Aviation Company, who

The people of Waycross and sur
rounding: country witnessed “near
flights*' last spring, and the people
were greatly disappointed. But the

anything or charge whatever. If they
can make arrangements, they will let
Nelson come here and dake an exhi-
bltltlon flight absolutely free.
The Mobile Daily Item has the fob
lowing to say of the flights Nelson
made in Mobile:
# “Nels J. Nelson, aviator for the Mills
Aviation Company^ made on yesterday
. the greatest flight that has been seen
during the fair. He rose gracefully
and went up to a great height In
view df the vast audience he made
his dips and glides, and completed
amidst their shouts and plaudits his
greatest flight seen here.
'The machine is still here, and he
may make another flight for this fair
before leaving for Pensacola, the city
of their next engagement
“Those .who witnessed the aeroplane
exposition yesterday got their money's
worth, to say nothing of the splendid
fair they saw.”

W. E. Dempster acted as chairman
and J. W. McGee as secretary.

appointed to arrange for meetings for
