We are authorized to announce the
name of II. F. Andrews, Esq, of this
city, as a candidate for State Senator,
subject to the action of the Senatorial
convention not yet called. Audubon
county hopes to secure the nomination
this year because of the fact that the
other counties in the district have been
thus honored while we have always &C
guessed in such action. When Audu-
bon was in the district with Green
county, J. J. Russell held the Office for
eight years. Col. Nichols, of Guthrie
occupied the position for eight years,
and lator DR.. T. J. Caldwell, of Dallas,
has represented the Audubon Guthrie
Dallas district for eight years. In re-
spect to precedence Audubon county
will ask the nomination in the belief
that the associate counties will concede
the justice of the claim and give the
candidate whom Audubon county will
present hearty support. With the
claims of the county based upon these
facts, the name of Mr.. Andrews is pre-
scented to the republicans of the Sena-
torial district as candidate for the
high honor.

the early disciples were eminently evan
gelical in their fellowship with one an
other. The early church was missionary
and fellowship was based on few dog
matte truths, such as the Savior's life
and doctrine easily provided. But the
highest characteristic of early church
fellowship was lis spiritual quality. 1t
was the surprise of heather philosophers
and the admiration of writers like Sene-
ca. 1t was this that was lacking in many
churches to-day. Church fellowship is
made matter of covenants and creeds.
Fellowship is possible between all the
churches and all Christians, if love be
the inspiration, aim and motive; for love
"believeth all things, hopeth all things
The duty was enforced by an appeal to
the apostles example, which makes fell
lowship in love prominent and to the au-
thority of Christ, who prayed that his
disciples might be ''one.'
