CONFORM. KING GEORGE COUNTY,
| VA, January 15.-(Special.)-An exciting
fox chase in this county ended very un-
fortunately a few days ago. The fox
was run down and caught at the house
door of a woman. who took the dead
var1nint from the hounds and tucked it
away in her house before the huntsmen
| arrived on the scene Of capture. I'm
| willing TO lose their game, the huntsmen
offered the woman a sum of money for
it, but she denied having taken the fox,
whereupoD a warrant was sued out and
her house was searched. After search
ing in vain for some time the officer
finally discovered the varmint of conten-
ton securely sewed up in a feather bed
The woman was taken before a magf-
trate and fined according to law" After
the trial It occurred TO the woman that
she could "go to law too, for her lands
and premises were rigidly posted against
all hunting, ranging etc, and that the
huntsmen were guilty Of unlawful tres
passing" and also subject action at law
for damages. Hence, that memorable
fox hunt viii prove a costly and vexa-

I MR. GEOkGE u. GADDEHER.
the primary class Captain Parks and
Mr.. Withrow are the most noticeable, for
they occupy front seats, and their arms
and legs can never be lost sight of by
those in their immediate vicinity. These
two gentlemen are deskmakes, by the
WOW. which adds III the more to their
inconvenience. IL they were school
..s.. pl4ctu in me same position, the
result would be innumerable scraps"
and they would be, to some extent, ex-
cusable.
Imagine two six-footers, with a weight
together Of 400 pounds, seated side by
side at a desk. the height OF which is
about twenty-six inches and the seats
behind it each sixteen inches wide, and
some idea may be formed Of the picture
daily presented by Captain Parks and
Mr.. Wthrow, as, with all the dignity
admissible under their crowded condition,
they perform their legislative duties.
GALLEHER THE HEAVYWEIGHT.
Mr.. George G. Galleher, of Prince Will
liam, is the heaviest man in the House.
He stands six feet in his stockings, and
tips the scales at 269. He occupies a seat
TO the right OF the Speaker in the second
row and next TO the front Whenever he
rises upon his feet he effectually blocks
the view of those behind him, and no
one in the House. however near-sighted,
can fail to see the tail and commanding
form Of the Delegate from Prince Will
liam.
Mr.. Galleher was born forty-nine
years ago in the county which he so ably
represents. His education was limited

him the largest majority probably ever
accorded Democratic candidate.
CAPTAIN PARKS, OF PAGE.
Captain r. s. Parks, Of Page. enjoys
the distinction OF being the tallest man
I'm the House, and with the exception OF
Senator Keezell. can look over the head
! OF any member OF either branch of the
General Assembly. He Is feet 4 inches
In height, and weighs 2i0 pounds. Not
only does he tower above all Of his col
| leagues, but no voice has ever been raised
| in the General Assembly during the past
three or four sessions that In the ful-
ness of its tones can compare with that
OF the delegate from Page.
Captain Parks was born In Rappahan-
] mock county, Va, June 4. 1899. He did
not have the advantage Of collegiate
| education. but was instructed In the
schools OF his nelghborhood during the
winter months. and the remainder OF the
year worked upon his fathers farm.
For one year, however. he attended
seminary, and afterwards taught school,
saving the money thus dreived in order
that he might complete his education.
In 1859 he began TO read law, and was adj
mitted to the bar In Page county year
later. At the outbreak OF the war Cap
tain Parks entered company formed
I'm his county. being given the rank OF
second lieutenant. At Harper's Ferry
the company was assigned to the Tenth
Regiment, Virginia Infantry, and in 1862
he was made its captain. In that capa-
city he served until 1854 when, being dis
abled on account of wounds. he was
forced to resign. Soon after the close of
the war Captain Parks was chosen Com
monweaths Attorney of his county, and
served two terms. declining reelection at
the expiration of the second. He Is now,
however Commonwealth's Attorney,
making the third time he has served his
county in that capacity and he IS con-
sidered one Of the best prosecutors in his
section.
THE GENTLEMAN FROM BATH.
Mr. a. T. Withrow, Of Bath. represent
ing that county. and also Allegheny and
Highland. deserves perhaps TO complete
the big Four" by being placed upon the
light end. He weighs about 1876 pounds,
and IS feet tall. Mr. Wthrow has
served three terms in the House, and is
one Of the most Influential members Of
that body. He always stands firm for
Whatever he thinks IS right, and never
falls to look after the varied interests OF
his three counties He Is perfectly out
spoken. and a fearless advocate OF any |
measure which TO his mind will benefit |
the State, and does not halt at any con-
sideration of SELF or his own personal in |
