Egyptians did The work was done
scientifically and the bodies thus en-.

was the medium Of exchange in the
ancient colony Of Virginia II was E

MIR. Martin has no opposition, and

if he does, feel that he will not be
defeated. Mr.. Martin has been
assessor of Lafayette parish for
twelve years, and with his knowl-
edge of the trials and fluctuations
that assessors have in assessing
he will, if elected, make
a good member of this new Board
of Equalization.
