We hope Bro. Hurry, Of the Sargent
County Independent, will overlook the
tardy acknowledgement of the follow
ing highly complimentary notice, which
appeared5in his paper before election,
but which wa mislaid and has just
nov. come to light:
Senator a.. g. Hansbrough spoke at
the court house in Forman on the
evening Of 9th on the political issues
in the present campaign. Byan over
sight on the part the state central COM
mittee, those having the management
of the campaign in this county receiv-
ed no notice Of his coming. Why this
was S % we can give no explanation.
At about four O'Clock in the afternoon
of that day, q telegram was received
from the senator, in reply to one sent
him, announcing that he would be
here that evening. It was feared that
on 50 short notice much Of an audience
could not be secured; in this there was
an agreeable disappointment. The
large court room was packed, standing
room even being taken. The large at
tendance, under the circumstances,
can only be ascribed to the personal
popularity Of the senator-the man
who received over 800 majority in Sar
gent county-by far the largest ma
jority v given any candidate-the
only time he was before our people for
q direct vote. 1t is quite evident he
still retains his old time popularity in.
this county.
Hon. j. W. Christian acted as chair
man Of the meeting, and in a few we'll
chosen remarks introduced the sena-
tor, who wa received with q storm Of
applause: For over an hour he retain
ed the undivided attention of the vast
assembly. No speech could be more
thorough, and his style Of delivery was
most pleasant and effective. His
diction wa perfect, and every sentence
would stand alone as q telling argu.
ment. There was no vituperation or
bombast. Though the speech was i'm
promptu, it was mastery and without
the slightest hesitation. His entire
style, natural and free, is like that Of
the worldfamous commoner the late
John Bright. The secret Of the sena.
tors success as q leader is shown ID
his speech.
Even the Independents and Demo.
Gratis present, and they were many,
admit that it was thefairest and ablest
presentation Of Republican content.

The Grand Forks Herald tells Of a
young miss Of "A who left her home IN

of the finest houses in Richmond, and she trimmed it with the Georgia arms and Georgia embems.
 The Soldiers Tribute
 When the troops marched past the day after the work was completed the Georgia regiments would have cheered had they dared to break over military custom, so beautiful was the house.
 That night at a large reception Miss Butt shook hands with Gov. Atkinson, of Geor- gia, who congratulated her upon her work. "It Is a political service," said he.
 "I think I should be made a member of the governors staff. Do you not?" Miss Butt asked the governor, laughfngly.
 "Indeed, do," said he, land if I am re- elected you shall be appointed"
 Last November, when Gov. Atkinson was reelected chief magistrate of the "Crack- er' state, one of his first appointments was that of Miss Lewis Butt. of Augusta, as one of the members of his staff. He gave her the title of colonel and all staff privileges.
 Miss Butt immediately entered upon her duties as colonel. She rode with the gov ernor and other members of the staff in parades, and at other times she received with them. She did all that the other members did, and in many ways she assist ed them in trying situations.
 The staff of the governor of any state is appointed .'to assist the governor" He "leans upon them" iguratively, and it is upon the staff he depends when the duties are too much for one person to perform. At state receptions the staff erceives with the governor; at state unvelings they as- sist doing such work as he cannot do. In parades they make the position of the gov ernor conspicuous and noteworthy, and at other times they represent the governor.
 If the governor is invited out and finds

Laws, says of her, "she has good. hard sense in dress.'
 The other members of Gov. Atkinsons staff apepar to think that the title would change with perfect propriety, but they themselves were unable to change it. They said that would rest with Gov. Atkinson, who at that time would have stepped in and settled the question, but he was travel ing by private car through the south and could not be reached by wire. He will undoubtedly make known his decision im- mediately.
 It would be ungallant of Gov. Atkinson to take away Col. Butts title now that she has become Mrs. Cunningham. A large number are of the opinion that he should allow her to continue a member of his staff in good and regular standing.
 The appointment of Col. Butt made a great deal of comment in Georgia, much of which was not always of the most fa- vorable kind. It was at first declared that the other membel- of the staff would not welcome such an associate.
 But this question was settled by the members of the staff, who the very first thing purchased an elegant jewelled sword and presented it to. her. This is her only uniform" although there are various pie lures of her dressed otherwise. She has. never worn when on parade with the staif any other but her street clothes. In her picture which she had taken in her 'col- onels dress" the first she ever wore "oil pared,' she donned pink, nd white or gandie trimmed with Valenciennes lace. With this dress she wore big black hat trimmed with nodding plumes. At her side was the jeweled belt and sword.
 Col. Butt is scarcely twenty-one years of age, and her title, which by courtesy should follow her through life, has prob- ably many years to stand. In many

Was known prior to her appointment on the gubernatorial staff by Gov. Atkinson two months ago, was married in January. and the question has arisen whether or not She is still "colonel."
 Col Butt is the only woman In the United States, or in the world, who has won distinction on the same lines on which she gained hers. She was appointed member of the staff of the governor of Georgia on political merits solely, and hav- ing won her honors in this way, she has maintained them on the same grounds.
 When the Jefferson Davis monument was unveiled in Richmond nearly two years ago the most elaborate display was made in that city. When the soldiers marched through the streets they saluted the different houses decorated by the dif- ferent southern states, and all along the fine of march they paid tribute to mag nificently trimmed buildings labelled with state names.
 A few days before this Jefferson Davis bellies of Augusta, Ga., came to Richmond to spend few days She came to visit friends and to enjoy the ceremonies or the unveiling. As she drove through the streets a few days before the eventful Jeff ferson Davis day she noticed that Georgia had no building decorated in it's honor. and she immediately set to work to supply one She obtained permission to decorate one loeseeoeeeeoeeese eeesees seseeesee

 Some trouble had occurred between the teller of Pittsburg bank and his best girl. Both were very proud and high Ipirited, and the young lady insisted upon tepeating to the teller that he must never hgain speak to her; that he should never recognize her under any circumstances, and that if he did so she would consider 1t an insult The teller was greatly offend ed. He longed for revenge, and few days later he had 1t.

he cannot be present, he sends a member of his staff in his place. Col. Butt has several times represented the governor at various dinners, receptions and balls which he could not himself attend.
 All went well until the inevitable hap pened Six weeks ago Col Butt got mar ried. She married George M. Cunningham, . cotton dealer and one of the wealthiest men of the south. He Is a. member of the famous Cunningham family of Virginia and Maryland. tI
 Her Wedding Tour
 Upon her wedding tour she visited the north and was received officially as Col. Butt, member of the staff of Gov Atkinson of Georgia. Suddenly, however one of the busybody sticklers of New York city pro- posed the interesting question of change of title.
 "Are you Col. Butt or are you Col. Gun ningham? By marriage does your title change from Col. Butt to Col. Cunning ham? Are you still colonel? Or does your marriage make you lose your title and be- come plain Mrs. George Cunningham"
 It may be said, however, that Mrs. George M. Cunningham can never be "plain' Her coloring is beautiful, she has large, lustrous eyes, lovely hair and the most exquisite red cheeks. Her fea- lures are not the most regular in the world, but she dresses in soft fabribs, and, as Miss Emily McI.aws. niece of Gen. Mo- out iler check for few dollars, and pre- sented it to her erstwhile escort.
 Are you acquainted with any one hereT asked the teller.
 The young woman almost tainted.
 ''If not" resumed the teller, "I'm afraid can't cash your check. No doubt 1t is perfectly good, but bank rules require that we know and recognize both the persons and signatures of all those to whom we pay money."
 The gulf between them now can never be abridged.

states the title of colonel is hereditary, de- scending from father to eldest son, and presumably from mother to eldest daugh- ter This brings up also an interesting question of precedent, and the case will be watched with interest by those concerned in family titles.
 Col. Butt, or Col. Cunningham is one of the most beautiful women of the south, and two years ago was published in a monthly magazine as one of the bellies of Georgia. She was at one time elected the most beautiful woman in the state, an honor since disputed by two of her sis- ters.
 In appointing woman Gov. Atkinson did not step out of his province He simply varied from an established custom. He looked 1t up and found that there would not only be no impropriety in appointing feminine colonel, but there would be &C., tual appropriateness in the act. She could act as Hostess on various occasions when the governor would have to entertain, and she could also assist at social functions and could be useful to the governor at New Years receptions when he would entertain the president and foreign diplomats.
 All these things Col. Butt has done with the utmost ease and tact, and should her title be taken from her 1t would undoubt- edly bring about protest from the militia of the state of Georgia.
