NAMES OF PRESIDENTS WIVES.

Mary is very frequent name for
women and Abigail a very unfre.
quent one, yet in the names of wives
of our Presidents there has been
only one Mary-Mary Todd Lin
coln--and there have been two Abb
gails-Abigail Powers Fillmore and
Abigail Smith Adams.
Washington and Jefferson both
had wives named Martha Martha
cambridge Custs and Martha Way
les SHELTON, both handsome and at
tra2tive widows. With the excep-
ton of the wives of Monroe and
Johnson-whose wives were both
named Eliza-there appear no more
duplicate names in the Presidential
wife list. Monroe married Eliza
Kortwright and Johnson married
Eliza McCardle, who taught her
husband to write and cipher. he al
ready knowing how to read.
Madison married Dolly-Dolly
Todd and the name itself savors of
brightness and home love. She also
was a widow and one of the most
remarkable women who ever pre-
sided over the White House. Two
very stately names dignifed the
Presidential mansion in the days of
Tyler and Gar6eld-Letita Chris
tan Tyler and Lucretia Rudolph
Garfield.
Grants wife was named Julia
Julia Dent. Mrs. Hayes bore the
rather plebeian name of Lucy
Lucy Webb. Zachary Taylor's wife
was Margaret. Mrs. John Quincy
Adams bore the stately names of
Louisa Catherine.
Not many Bible names appear in
the list-the New Testament supply
ing those of Mary and Martha,
aforementioned, and the Old Tesla
ment adding Hannah, Rachel and
Sarah-Hannah Hoes Van Buren,
Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson
and Sarah Childress Polk.
Pierce's wife bore the good old
fashioned name of Jane-Jane APP
pleton Pierce. William Henry
Harrison married an Anne Symmes
and the later Harrison Caro-
line-Caroline Scott. The wife of
Arthur had the unusual and not
pretty name of -MalvIna
Stone. Mrs. Cleveland was Franc
es Folsom and Mrs. Mckinley was
Ida Saxton.

PRESTON COUNTY.
Written for the Gainesville Cleaner
by o. r. Morton.

There is only one Preston county
in the Union. and it is well to know
who our county was named after.
AT the close of the Revolutionary
war, the eastern part of Virginia was
quite populous, while the western
section, including what is now West
Virginia, was almost wilderness.
Many new counties had to be
formed, and it was the practice to
name these new counties after Viz
ginians who had distinguished them
selves in public life.
Our county was named after
James p. Preston who was born in
Montgomery county in I774 and
died in Smith6eld in IS4s. He
was graduated from William and
Mary and became a planter. In
the war Of 1872 he became colonel
of the I2th U. S, Infantry and was
severely wounded Chrystler's field
on the ST. Lawrence river. He was
governor of the State from 1916 to
1870, and was afterward in the
State senate
The same Preston family includes
several other eminent names. VIM.
b., son of Gov. Preston, was a
distinguished lawyer and statesman
and was never defeated in any
popular election. He was Score
tary of the Navy under Presiden,
Taylor and resisted the secession oil
his State until satisfied that war was
inevitable.
He was a member of the whip
party and was several times Presi.
Dental elector.
Francis, brother 70 the governor,
was an able lawyer, served two
terms in Congress and was after.
ward frequently chosen to the State
legislature.
lie also served in the war Of
1912 and was major general o.
militia.
His son, VIM. {. Preston, wa.
the most finished orator the south
has ever produced. He settled If
South Carolina, was President Of
the College Of South Carolina for ST,
years, served also in the State legis
lature and was sent to the T.. S
Senate. His distress at the seces
sion of his State seemed to has,er
his end. But John s., his brother
was an ardent secessionist. RI,
was a distinguished orator and hac
strong literary tastes.
His greatest speech was made il
favor Of the secession Of Virginia
He served as an officer in III,
confederate army.

deacon, "but it kinder seems to me

Not patriot stood forth. Each
one was studying the cracks in the
floor an wait;n' for the other TO
speak. The situation had got to be
embarrassin' when nobody dared
put his hand in his pocket for a
chaw of terbacker, when Lish Bill
lings came saunterin' in. Deacon
Spooner explained the affair to him
and asked how much he'd give.
Hasn't nobody said nothin yit ?"
asked Lish.

But nobody clipped, and before

There is more Catarrh in this

last few years was supposed to be

local treatment,pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

THE MONTH OF LEGISLATURES.

This is the month Of the State
Legislatures. More than thirty of
them will begin their sessions be-
tween the first and the middle of
January. In size they range from
the 9 Senators and Fl Representa-
tives in Delaware to New Hamp-
shire's nnequaled body OF nearly
400 members in both branches.
Our Legislatures, like some other
American institutions, vary with the
States. For instance, New Hamp-
shire has a Representative to every
I,I4o Of population, but the rate
in New York is only one member
to every 46,7oo of population.
The variety is not confined to the
ratio Of representation. Rhode
Island pays its legislators only 81
a day, but California and Nevada
pay So day. Maine gives only
$3.50 a year, but New York and
Pennsylvania pay 81, 500 a year.

JOHN MARSHALL DAY.

The attention of County Superin-
tendents and public school teachers
throughout the State is called to the
ACCESSIBILITY of observing in a fitting
manner February 4th, the Cenien-
NAL Anniversary of the day on
which John Marshall took his seat
as Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
observance of the day will be gen
eral throughout the country.
There will be no official program
for the schools of the State, but |
recommend that every school spend
the afternoon of this day in studying
the life and character of the great
jurist, John Marshall was a brave
soldier, an honored citizen and a
renowned lawyer; but above all he
was cheerful, modest man,
"greater in wisdom than in learning,
a sincere Christian and true philan-
thropist - ga patriot by instinct
and statesman by Divine right OF
character and brains"
The opportunity of bonoring the
memory of this illustrious man and
of pointing out to our boys and
girls his nobility of purpose, his
strength of character and his love
for country, should not be neglected.
