There is one individual about a

His duties, says the Washington

over all these precious lives an indirect

after the wstchman closely to see that
the halls arc properly patroled and q
sharp lookout kept for fires At the
disastrous Hotel Royal hre in New

County names in New Edgland and

In the border states of the south they

English and Indian, with French in
Louisiana and traces of Spanish origin
In Florida and Texas. In the Mississip-

Indian origin, with some French names
coming down from the Jesuit explorers.
In the Rocky mountain states they are
again English and Indian, with q

elsewhere, and on the Pacific coast
