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.

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. Entertained.

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.
