OUR OLDEST FAMILY.

From the Cambridge (Md) Chronicle
w. Graham Smith, or WILLIAMSBURG,
was attending by chance reunion of n
certain family in Upper Dorchester, and
after recital of family history by all
Its members and scions present, Mr..
Smith was called upon to tell something
about the Smith family. The request
was very unexpected to him, but he
finally pulled himself together and ex-
planed: THE Smiths were the first
people created. Our family history goes
back to the Garden OF Eden. Adam was
named Adam Smith, and our first
mother was named Eve Smith For
many hundred years there was nobody
hut Smiths In the world But occa-
sionally some member would do some
thing mean--for instance. get drunk.
like Noah Smith did, or kill man, Ike
Cain Smith. In all such cases the Of
Tending member was driven out Of the
family and his name changed, and this
accounts for the rise of the Browns and
the thousands OF other families who
originally took their start from these
0utcasts Of the once universal Smith
family. BY this traditional policy Of
expulsion, practced from the early
patriarchal days to the present time, the
Smith family has always maintained its
integrity and purity, and has remained.

RAPID GROWTH OF OKLAHOMA.
Development and Prosperity of the
 Territory Unequaled.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The report of Gov. Barnes of Oklahoma was made public by the secretary of the interior today The report shows that during the present year Okla homa has raised the greatest wheat crop ever cultivated in a territory or similar extent The total wheat yield of the territory will reach 2O.- o0O,00O bushels. Few fields have fall en below eighteen bushels to the acre. While the general average has been in excess of twenty-five bushels to the acre. Some fields have yielded as hlgh as forty-five bushels to the acre. and one farmer Is reported to have Sarnered forty-nine bushels to the acre
 An official who ascended Ho inc tower of the court house at Newkirlx counted 1860 wheat stacks and 1S0 straw stacks within radius of sfx mics. A Logan county farmer maid or an sS00 mortgage and built a new nome out of the proceeds of his wheat crop. A Nebraska man who purch dSed a farm in Garfield county last year for $500 cleared S9O0 this yetar on ms wheat crop. A Blaine county man who took a S25 deposit for inc Iulure purchase of his farm boupht wheat seed with the s25 and realized sooO on the crop which he raised Tho Cnoctaw and Oklahoma railroad Wn1cn last year used 297 cars for tho moving of the wheat crop. is this ve.r using over 2,OOO. 'e"'
 uoV- Barnes says that in the seven years Which have elapsed since Ok .anona was made territory it has hdu greater progress than most commonWealths have had in tbrea times that period of years. At the election last fall 53,OO0 votes were cast, 1,O00 more than in Florida and 1z,O0O more than in Delaware. The prosperity of the farmer in Oklahoma this year has brought prosperity in every enamel, considerable building Is being done and plenty of outside capital is seeking investment
 me proportion of citizens of for elgn birth in Oklahoma is smaller than it is any state of the Union The population as returned by inc as sessors for 1896, was slightly in ex- cess of 275,000. No enumeration has been taken this year, but the flow or immigration has been steady. and Gov. Barnes thinks the population can now safely be estimated at 3OO.0O0
 The assessed valuation of the terri2 tory has increased during the past three years from $19,9 ,94O to s32.- o34.75 Gov. Barnes say that in a majority of the counties the property IS returned for taxation at very much less than it's real value. He estimates the taxable wealth of the territory at from S60,00O,000 to $7O, ,OOO, 600.
