Madison. May 5.-The business seS-
sions OF the Florida division conven-
Zion u. d. G. have proceeded with sys-
tenn and success, the efficient presid-
ing officer maintaining strict order and
facilitating the convention proceedings
ia every manner.
Each chapter reports her quota OF
work well done, some more, some less,
according to environment and num-
hers as well as opportunity and the
historical evening OF Wednesday was
terminated thorough success under
the MANAGEMENT of the brilliant his
torian for the division, Miss Sarah
Partridge of Monticello. On Wednes-
day afternoon the unfortunate rain
fall forced the lawn fete rendered rom
the gentlemen citizens to be changed
into lawn party given most success
fully upon the spacious porches OF the
Merchants hotel. The active chairman
or the Madison Board of Trade, Mr..
.T-I'r Fonda, and Mr.. 3. B. Mccall also
10 that body, taking charge OF the ar
l4ns ement providing chairs, tables.
ETC.. for more convenient serving OF
their guests and facilitating the pleas
ure and comfort Of everyone.
The morning session OF Thursday
was largely consumed in the reports or
chapters resumed from the Wednesday
session, up to eleven o'clock, when the
primary class from the large public
and normal school of Madison was In
froduced under the management of
their efficient teacher. Miss Moore. ana
gave an exhibition of the rudiments OF
genuine southern history most COM
mendable and also most regrettably
unusual.
This number lasting some half hour
or more excited great interest and ap-
probation among the various dele
gates, and the little ones received their
meed of most well deserved praise
with the sweet naturalness Of childish
Inconsistencies.
At the termination of the exercises
Miss Moore stated that among her
pupils she had two granddaughter Of
Elizabeth Harris, and the presiding Of
ficer then asked these children to come
up beside her that the entire conven-
tion might see them.
A more charming picture than the
two pretty little southern girls. dark
eyed, white-f rocled and red-ribboned
manding woman in her flowing black
robes and snowy ciof, backgrounded by
brilliant crimson flags, could scarcely
be imagined, and each eye privileged Il
see it will long recall it as an artistic
feast. The little ones were then dis
missed and the regular order of bust
ness resumed.
Among the various notices read wal
that Of the death on Wednesday nigh
of q child Of a sister member Of thu
Elizabeth Harris chapter and the con
vention ordered for her a rising ex
preston of coincidence, which was sen
by immediate messenger.
The session terminated at twelv'
until three o'clock in deferance to tn
funeral services of this same wee flow
er. the only child of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Carroll. to whom the sympath!
Of the entire community is extended.
