 Smith experiences the keenest de- light in reading the obituaries of dead congressman. He must be a lover of the widest fiction. much of which is not founded on fact,
 for the flights of imagination of the sorrowing members engaged in public mourning for the dead are bound frequently by no lines of truth. This Arizonoan. whoever he may be, reminds us of Biship Meakum. in "A Pilgrim on the Gila," who went to Washington to see Luke Jenks, the delegate from Arizona, wrest the palm for lying from California, leaving to that state only a pre-eminence as the pos sessor of little stoves.

back into the country only few miles.
The parish took this shape from Its
conformity to the situation OF the
groups Of plantations embraced In Its

into enormous halves by q wide river
or broad inlet of the bay. Every parish
was laid off into precincts.
The administration Of the affairs OF
each parish was in the control of &

England. as the vestry. Each OF the
.vestries was composed Of the foremost

ton. To the power derived from an
office of acknowledged authority there
was added the great personal weight
given by large possessions, force Of
character and intellect, and the very
best education which England or Vir-
ginia afforded. 1t Is rare to note In the
county records the name Of a vestry-
man who. in signing documents. was
only able to make his mark. Many
vestrymen enjoyed the further distinc-
ton of being members OF the county
court, the House of Burgesses, or the
Executive Council. 1t does not seem
