Gen. J. Floyd King was III

Gen. J. Floyd King was In
town this week. He called at
the Clarion Office whereshe found
a cordial welcome. We were de-
lighted to fndasthe General so
much alive to the.material inter :
ests of,the section Of the State
which he has so:ably..represented
in the councils of the pat'on'
Gen. King is not only a practical
legislator, but he is a polished
interesting gentleman of whom
the Clarion feels proud. In ad-
vocating and urging his re-elec-
ton TO Congress, we have been
prompted only by patriotic mo-
tives, and after forming the dis
tinguished gentleman's acqualn'
lance we are confident that no
better choice could have been
made. He is sincere, honest,
and eminentlv industrious. The
uppermost desire of his heart is
the welfare of his constituency.
For them he tolls and. studies.
For them he is willing to spend
and be spent. Their interest is
his interest, and their country is
his country. He is no idle lag
gard in the great work OF ma
tional legislation, but he is a
bold, progressive. effectual Ia
borer who appreciates the dig
nifty and responsibility OF his po-
sition. Lets keep him1 in the
harness.
