J. G. Hynds Mfg. Co.’s
Midsummer Clearance Sale of
The Salt Lake City. Utah. Daily Tri
bune in its issue of August 23, has in
terviews with General James Long-
street rad Col. C. C. Sanders, of Gaincs-
vi le who were at that date in the city
er. route to California, in speaking of
t!,u recent war General Longstreet is
quoted as saying:
-If the whole thing had been turned
over io the South,” General Longstreet
added with a flush in his usually mild
blue eyes, “we would have whipped the
Spanish out in half the time. Of course
we would have wanted the navy. The
achievements of our fighting vessels
were simply marvelous. Their com
manders are deserving of the highest
praise. Better work would have been
impossible.”
• I don’t believe the war has welded
the North and South together any more
firmly than it was done before. The
country was reunited when we laid
down our arms. Of course, the war
has disabused certain Northern people
of the idea that the South was still dis-
loval. 1 tell you, suh,” the General’s
'j, drawling Southern accent was de-
ous at this point, “I tell you, suh,
th ah is no moh loyal people anywheah
in this country than in the South to
day.
The South has proved her loyalty by
the deeds of Hobson and Bagley and by
tha ready enlistment of her sons at the
call to arms. No better evidence could
have been given to the few politicians
who have been attempting to keep the
old sectional felling alive.”
Nearly a column is given to the no
tice of the party’s pretence in the city
and the interviews. Of Col.^Sanders the
Tribune says:
Col. C. C. Sanders, a prominent bank
er of Gainesville, Ga., is a member of
the party. Col. Sanders commanded a
regiment in Gen. Pickett’s division
through the Civil war. He was wound
ed several times and participated in
twelve important battles.
“The North and South are growing
better acquainted with each other all
the time and the war has done much to
foster tha t acquaintanceship. Sectional
lines were wiped out long ago, though,
except in the minds of a few who hoped
to see their own selfish interests but
who neyer shouldered a gun or.buckled
on a sword.”
Col. Sanders stated his belief that
the country was thoroughly reunited.
He thought the Southern States had
come to the front in a manner calcula
ted to confound people who had said
uncharitable things about their loyalty.
In speaking of his visit in the West,
Col. Sanders expressed himself in com
plimentary terms about the country
generally and Salt Lake in particular.
Seminary to Open.
The Georgia Female Seminary opens
its fall term Wednesday. Indications
are that the attendance will be large
and that unusually good work will be
done during the term. Prof. Van
Hoose and Prof. Wallace have both re
cently returned from trips in the in
terest of the Seminary, and both se
cured a number of students. All the
members of the faculty will return
within the next day or two and will be
in their places at the opening next
4 ednesday morning. Everybody
wishes the Seminary untold success.

and it is expected that 3,000 horse
swappers will be here. Judge Gaston

apple pie order.
The convention will be attended by
horse swappers from Hall, Lumpkin,

“swapping” will be the chief feature
of the convention.
Singing Parrots.
Mr. H. A. Terrell has a couple of
parrots which furnish much amusement
to him and his family, besides the
friends who often gather to hear them
sing. They have a number of songs
which they sing, and it is interesting
to watch them. The parrots were
brought to Gainesville by Mr. F. L.
Cooper of Savannah, who recently
spent a month in the city at Mr. Ter-
"relFs. The parrots are great curios
ities to many people who have seen
them.

WAS IT ABANDONED?
Young Baby Found in the Woods
Near Southern Depot.
A young white baby about three
weeks old was found in the woods near
the Southern depot Wednesday morn
ing by a man named Sweatman. He
immediately reported the matter to
Sheriff Mundy who at once set about to
find ouA to whom it belonged. The
child was carried to the house of Mr.
Ed Shepard near by to be cared for
until the matter could be looked into.
While the Sheriff was at the house a
nicely dressed woman came up and ack
nowledged that the child was hers. It
had been wrapped up and left iu the
woods, the woman claiming she had
only gone up town to buy something.
She refused to talk further and ar
rangements were made with Mr. and
Mrs. Shepard to care for her and her
child until the county commissioners
could be seen to make some provision
for her care. She was later visited by
some of the county officials, to whom
she told her story, after much hesita
tion. She gave her name as Martha
Ash and said she was from Dahlonega.
The man who accomplished her ruin,
she said, was a well know young man
of Dahlonega.
