After dainty re- treatments were served the Chapter adjourned to meet the fourth Monday in February at the home of the Registrar.
 The original of the following letter was found by Miss Virginia McKinstry of Mobile, in a box of old family let ters, belonging to her father, the late Judge Alexander McKinstry. It was sent to Judge McKinstry in 1859. by Mrs. Anne Campbell of Dapville. Texas, daughter of General John Clarke of Georgia, to whom the letter was writ ten, asking information as will be seen, of the services of his father, General Elijah Clarke. Tn copying the letter the original spelling, punctu- ation and capitalization were preserv- ed. It will be observed that the writer gives his name as Call, though in her letter to Judge McKinstry Mrs. Campbell speaks of him as Hugh Me- Call. Mrs. Campbell also enclosed to her cousin.

 Savannah, April 12. 1872.
 Dear General-I have advanced in the history of Georgia as far as the month of June, 1719, and I believe I have not omitted much matter of im- portance. I have obtained a copy of the notes made by General Jackson for Langworthy. which have the sigma lures of your father and General Twiggs. but it appears to me that Jackson's mind was too much engaged in the preservation of his own memory tn give a correct view of the history of Georgia. As my object is to give q history of the country, and not Pane gyrise individuals these notes in point of usefulness, fall far short of my eX- pectations.
 So well as I recollect you were in company with your father after Charleston fell into the possession of the British in May. 17SO. until the close of the revolutionary war. 1t is neces- sary to notice the ardor which pre- vailed amongst those who were so en- LnuSldSIlC, as 10 aQnere to the Amerl- can cause regardless of any other con sideration, comparatively. but that of freedom. If you can delineate the rout of your father after June. 17S0. noting the number of men under his command at different dates and the battles and skirmishes in which he was engaged and particularize the part taken by the Georgia troops; your notes upon subject will be very thank fully received.
 It appears from the papers which I have in possession that your father was wounded at the mouth of the broad river in July. 1770 when he was a captain, in a skirmish with the In- dians; he was also wounded at Alliga- tor Creek on the Florida expedition when he was major under General

At the New York State Assembly of Mothers, 8 prominent New York doctor told the 500 women present that healthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct.
 This seems to be a sweeping state ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and do not have some trouble arising from a derange- ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bearing-down feeling. painful or irregular menstrua- ton, leucorrhoa, displacement of the uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme- dies in the world. It regulates. strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com plaints.
 Such testimony as the following should be convincing.
 Mrs. T. c. Willadser. of Manning, Ia, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 q can truly say that you have saved my life and cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for mem strual irregularities and had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but was persuaded to try Lydia E.

All the proposed forest reserve lying
between the third standard parallel and
the Montana line in Fremont county
has been restored. Also the proposed
forest reserve lying about Henry's Fork
and east of the Big Hole mountains
has been restored, with the exception
of township 40 east, on Henry"s Fork.
All OF these various proposed forest
reserves were contested by Senator
Hepburn in the interest of keeping
open for settlement as large a proper
ton of Idaho as possible. He took the
ground that these forest reserves ex-
cluded from settlement public lands
and gave no compensating advantages.
This action on his part has restored
to settlement in Idaho lands aggregat-
ing more than six millions of acres.
This includes fully 235.000 acres within
the railroad grant of the Northern Pa
cific railway, which would have been
exchangeable by them for lieu land
scrip rights.
There is still room for further reduc-
lions of the forest reserves in Idaho,
and the question will be kept under
consideration until this very beneficial
provision of the law is exercised only
to the extent of actual beneficial ne
cessity.

to the forest reserves of Idaho were

temptation of the creation of these ad-
ditions and also for some new forest
reserves. These proceedings were seri-
ously contested by Senator Hepburn
and the contest has continued through
out the year and the senator has had
number of interviews and many com
municatipns with the officers of the
government in regard to the matter
He has now been furnished with mar
showing the result of this controversy
The proposed addition to the Priest
River forest reserve has been restored
to settlement.
The proposed Occur d'Alene forest
reserve has been abandoned and the

The eighth session of the legisla-
ture Is young yet but there Is already
disposition to open up on questions that
promise interesting contests, 1t is al
1eged in the organization OF the house
Ihat 1t was practically agreed that
3 there should be no county division
bills considered at this session. Prob
ably none will pass but it is evident
from news sent out from the legislature
ahat at least two such bills viii be
nsesented during the session One of
! these Is to be a bill dividing kootenai
county and the other bill creating
aClearwater county mainly out of the
aerritory recently annexed to Nez
Perez from the southern part of Sho-
shone county. THE bill to create Clear
! water county will be introduced by a
representative from northern Shoshone
ssreunty and a representative from the
1annexed portion will then seek to have
tthe bill amended to include a portion of
the reservation south of the river At
this point trouble will begin and as
the spirit of the legislature is pro-
nounced against division it Is hardly
aikely that bill so amended will be
passed though one creating county
from the annexed part of Shoshone
might pass if there was no decided op-
position.
