Sangamon County Politics
Campaign Now Opens.
Republicans Aim to Carry
County.

The campaign has opened in
this county and all the candi.
dates have opened fire-they are
mostly working in the rural dis
tricts as yet. The cam paign
promises to be fierce one and
the men are running on their
respective merits and the merits
of their party. The Forum is
not here to say Who should and
who should not be elected until
we shall have been informed as
to what platform each man de-
sires to be elected. We all know
that the Negro contingent has
been supposed to be inherently
Republican, but many Of the col
ored people claim that such
plea is erroneous, as their friends
and friends of the whole people,
are diversified among all the
parties, nevertheless. the Negro
ds whole, vote the Republican
ticket and expect the support of
the Republican party infinitely
more than they receive.
The county judgeship is at
tracting much attention.
Among the Negro contingent,
whose vote in the county runs up
to nearly 1000, there will in all
probability, be split. Some of
the wise ones foresee Republican
success and vice versa. The
mayors appointment of floaters.
to office will no doubt tend to
hamper the candidacy of the
democratic candidate for the
county treasuryship. Raw poll

candidates, are loud in their de-

Fort Brown is not to be aban-

to be abandoned because white

liberately insulted and treated

which some white women were
standing.
Unless thero is some special
reason why there should be Sol

ought to be abandoned until the

are disposed to treat soldiers of

AN ABUNDANCE OF GOLD.

Reports from South Africa are to the
effect that this year the gold output will
be more than s%1oo,ooo,ooo, and as there
is no diminution of the gold production
of other countries, it follows that 1906
will far surpass all previous figures.
The record of cures made by the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters far
surpasses that of all other stomach
medicines. The reason for its success
is very plain when you remember the
fact that it has often effected cures
alter other remedies had failed. If you
have never tried the Bitters get a bottle
today and see for yourself what a won
dertul medicine it is in cases of poor
appetite, headache, vomiting, cramps,

Leaving behind sorrow and tears.
But the angels had said Come in;
Though sad was the parting
From this world of joy and pain;
But it's softened, Jesus says Weep not
In Heaven you will meet him again.
"Gone home to the Heavenly Father,
Where his soul with God is at rest;
Therefore we say to those at home,
Weep not for God knows best;
His soul, weary so 500 of this world,
Has crossed the golden shore;
He stood at the beautiful river,
Where angels waited to watt him DER.
"God gives, and makes short the day,
We mourn, but lift our hearts in prayer,
We know we shall meet him again,
When we have climbed the stair.
Rest on, rest on, dear Hilmer,
In peaceful slumber rest,
Rest on, rest on, dear loved one,
Eternal life, God gives"
