Flags were hoisted and sa- lutes fired in his honor and no represent ative of the people ever received 6 more earnest and cordial welcome upon return ing to his constituents from the scene of his official labors. It was not ostenta- tious but of that simple and sincere kind indicative of genuine and lasting regard.
 Friday morning citizens meeting was held at the ENTERPRISE office for the pur- pose of arranging for formal reception to be held at the Court House hall Friday evening.

 The committees went to work with a will and, though pressed for time, had completed all the necessary arrangements 1 long before the dial hand marked the hour appointed for the opening of the entertainment.
 Shortly after nightfall the pyrotechnic display began, and, considering the brief time allowed for the collection of mate rial, it was surprise to the spectators.
 AS soon as the thunder of the Giant hushed and the smoke of the rockets cleared way, Delegate Oury, escorted by the reception committee, appeard and was greeted by spontaneous and hearty outburst of applause, followed by calls for a speech. He made brief but grace
 ful response, avoiding, as far as possible
 allusons to issues of the campaign, in as
 much as tho reception was non-politica and many republican were among the ac
 tive participants. Want of time prevents even summarized report of his remarks
 in this issue.
 At the clusion of his speech the dele gate was conducted into the hall, wher, he was warmly received by the host 0 ladies and gentlemon in waiting Short ly afterward the mellow strains of inspir iting music rose above the hum of voice and the dance began. Shortly before tn night had rounded the turn at twelve, al intermission was annouced and suppe called The latter was served at the Sil
 yer King Hotel and would have don credit to a royal board.
 The assemblage was the largest eve seen in the Court House hall, and wa
 composed of our representative men an most accomplished ladies, or, to use somewhat hackneyed phrase, represente the creme de Ia creme of Florenc society. It was fattering testimonal ' the high standing of Delegate Oury i this community, and shows that wher . best known he is most esteemed.
