She had been afflicted most of her short little life and it seemed oftentimes that her gentle little spirit would mite ii8 mgni, Din sne clung on to the brittle thread of life until fever set in which was more than her delicate little frame could stand. Just one week after she was taken we laid her gently to rest at old S?r.lis church. And we sadly realize the solemn fact that we will not see our darling babe any more, nor hear the sweet sound of her tender little voice again till we too shall have crossed that cold, chilly stream. Until then, little Floretta farewell. A sufferer ?-lnce she wh., born L<ttle Floretta is dead and gone, Gone to the God who gave her birth Tco sweet, too pure, to live on earth. Parent. Speaking at Santtic. Saturday was campaign day here for candidates for Congress. Both candidates were present and made good interesting speeches to a small orowd owing to many people misunderstanding the date. Both presented their claims for further suffrage. They were very generous towards each other and only clashed when old Samps Pop* was brought up, and Mr. Johnson was charged with voting for Pope as an Independent, whom Wade Hampton said was worse than a Radical. Mr. Johnson acknowledging it, telling the why. likening himself to Saul of Tassus, the chief prosecutor, but was now a christian, and that Mr. Wilson had aided in putting Pope in a good offloe, etc., the one then showing It was before he was an Independent oandidate for governor; the other trying to palliate the offense, if an offense it was. Each was doing some wrestling here, one giving some stunning blows to put the other iu an Independent hole, the other knocking back and jumping over like sohool boys playing stack hats to keep from going In. They both made strong arguments all along as to their work. All the bills started or got through was one's individual work. Both wanted credit and I trust both will get credit for what they did. I give them oredit for oonduotlng themselves in a manly and friendly way towards eaoh other. There is no doubt both are able men and are strong and straight on the national issues and both will get support here. There is some division vet. even thnnoli If. to ? o? -- w" a HiMuuiy order. There are sides and some will tlok to those sides at any rate. was At the speaking in union. I went to Union campaign day tc ' hear the speaking and I think the people behaved nicely. Not aspeakei was disturbed whether one liked thai one or not. There was not as much wrangling and hard feeling among the candidates as I was led to believe. I think there was some good speaking, I enjoyed it and can only speak for myself. Nobody talked loud at any time. The candidates went among the audience electioneering, making themselves known. I already knew three of them to wit: Col. Talbert, J. C. Wilburn and J. T. Gantt and was glad to see them and talk with them. I also enjoyed the mnsic given by the Cornet Band. I saw no one in the orowd drunk though there may have been some, and I heard no swearing or profane language and that speaks well for so large a crowd. A lady friend capable to pass judgment compliment me. and encouraged me, telling me to continue to bo candid, to be firm, etc., even if I lost some friend?who oould not stand It?I would make some. (I do not wish to lose the friendship of any worthy body.) She set a very pretty girl, a new acquaintance, to questioning me, and of course I tried to be modest. Thank you very much, ladies, I hope to continue to get your encouragement and good will. I will not discuss the candidates I may fcview things differently on good grounds and change some. I am not going to try to lectioneer but for one man. I think the city did well by the candidates by taking them to their residences (or entertainment. No one is hnrt by it bat really benefitted. Why not be brotherly in each cases and save the candidates from going to hotels. Union can do nice things, and is on the whole, big hearted. Hey Denver.
