path generally trodden by his eOntempora-
Ties, and struck into National direction.
He wrote plays and essays in almost all the
branches of the Bellies Lettres, and with his
IiskgRlqr, laid the corner stone of the Hun

These old maps are extremely useful in show
ing the boundaries of the various counties at
that period There have been so many chan
GEES in the lines, and new counties formed,
thatit has become matter of historical in
terest to recover the state of the boundary
lines. at that period. The map contains an
extremely interesting view of our sister city
Of Memphis in 1920. There were then only
about or s houses there, all told.
From --. 4 curiously shaped birds

construction. The Society would be glad 10
procure specimens of the nests of the various
birds of our State, accompanied with their
eggs aud their names. The Smithsonian In
stitute, at Washington, has collected several
thousand such nests and eggs, most all of
them by donation, and why should not our
citizens help this Society in the same way?
