Gen. Fitz Lees withdrawal Of his
name as a candidate for the Senate,
was no surprise to the Virginia poll
ticians who frequent Washington.
They say it has been evident for
some time that Gen. Lee would cut
no figure in the Senatorial campaign,
and that Senator Martin would be
his own successor.
An official statement prepared at
the War Department gives the total
number of deaths in our army from
May ], 1898, to February %, 1899,
as 5,731. OF these 800 were killed
in action. 125 died of wounds, and
5,277 died of diseases, etc.
Now that the President, the Vice
President and their wives have gone
to Thomasville, Ga, as the guests of
Senator Hanna, in may be said that
the capital Of the United States has
been temporarily removed to Crack

party will remain in Dixie will de-
pend upon public business. The

gospel gladly. Most of them never
saw a bible, and never heard a real

and there is DO laborer to reap it.
