Sweetwater, Nolan county, Texas, Record:
"Since Senator Fleming has declined to be
candidate for senatorial hOnOrs from this dis
trict, we know of no one more worthy TO
| wear his mantle than Col. A. W. Hilliard of
Nolan county. Being largely interested in
the stock interest, having studied the land
aud stock questions in all their bearings. a
/ man of fine education and liberal views, he
would make II stulwart champion for West
ern Texas in the senatorial arena. We are,
by no means sure that Col. Hiliard desires
to be state senator, but take the liberty Of
suggesting his name in the interest of the
district" We hope the good people OF his
district may conclude TO send Col. Hiliard to
the senate. Brought up by God-fearing
mother in Israel, as sound fundamentally in
politics a. in morals, q democrat OF the Jef-
fersou school,, business man of exact
methods and punctllious ideas of honor and
rectitude, he would reflect credit upon his
J constituents aud intelligently guard their ln-
terests.
Miss Julia F. Gould, having completed her
three years. engagement as teacher of vocal
culture in the b. F. c., left us on Wednesday,
7 1t is with feeling of sincere regret that we
? part with this distinguished artist and es'
timable lady. Having her musical educalioi
i, | from the most eminent masters OF Italy, her
peer as y teacher is hard to find, and her
success as such has been unvarying and nn'
= eyampled, With phenomenal voice OF near
: ly three octaves, extending to C sharp, also
the treble cleft, her presence, gifts and cul
ture are an ornament to the concert anu ope'
Ia stage both amateur anu professional. bu
above all these. her warm heart, considerate
and thoughtful nature. her gentle and lady
:. | like demeanOr, her capacity of not onil
winning but retaining the friendship Of thos
with whom she was thrown, make her alb
II scence cause vacancy that will not easily be
u filled. Miss Gould seeks a wider field for Tn
exercise of her profession, and wherever he
u lot may be cast she carries with her the low
i and respect of Lexington.
