Smiths and Myrtle Islands, compris-
ing an ocean swept domain Of A.oos
acres, opposite this place. have after a
LAPSE of one hundred and fifty years
or more, passed out OF the ownership
Of the Lee family. of Virginia. into
the hands Of Oliver y. Campbell, OF
New York City. The transfer OF this
estate marks the passing OF another OF
the large properties formerly ffrefttd-
ed in tho estates of Major General
John Gusts and General Robert Ed
ward Lee. the commander of the Con-
federate forces.
OF the early history of Smiths and
Myrtle Islands little is known. except
that the tract comprised ~art of the
grant made to one John -Seaie, about
the year 1888. and that tradition marks
1t as one OF the retreats OF Captain
John Smith, OF Pocahontas fame.

The oldest resident Of this North

Island was originally, part OF Smith

south OF the existing channel was
thereafter called Myrtle Island. Be
cause Of this division of the Island
against itself the claim wa. made on
one occasion that the part called Myr-
tie Island and comprising about one
thousand acres. belonging to William
Fl, Lang and others. The claim OF
the Lees Ownership OF the whole
was. however, upheld as the result
OF an action In ejcctment. Mr.. Camp
bell plans to establish a private shoot

tertainment of his many friends on the
Stock Exchange. and comra.es in the
racquet and tennis university clubs.

1 am afraid you are not very well,
suit a doctor for the pain and the ner-
vousness. If these are cured, the pro-
fuse sweating and bad dreams will
stop.
For the corhs, try this: Pare corn
off as close as possible. Then put a
pinch of baking soda on a clean bit of
cloth, moisten soda a little with vine
gar, apply to corn and wrap cloth
about toe or foot. Do this night and
morning. If you will keep it up you
will find yourself minus your corns in
about ten days.
Brush your teeth with fine table salt.
Once in while use little powdered
charcoal.

While unthrifts fool their love away.
Nothing could have my love o'erthrown

When new desires had conquered thee,
And changed the object of thy will.

Not constancy, to love thee still,

And prostitute affection so,
Since we are taught no prayers to say
Yet do thou glory IN thy choice,
