The land system of Virginia had little
effect in this territory, having been
succeeded by the public land system
of the United States before settlement,
SO that the Virginian method of estab-
fishing land titles affects only the
states of Virginia, West Virginia and
Kentucky.
The original grant of Virginia. in
Guiding political prerogatives, as well
as land titles, was revoked by what are
called quo warranto proceedings. The
King of England directed his law Off
GERS to inquire whether the grantees of
Virginia had complied with the terms.
expressed or implied, on which they
took the country, and if they had a
right to the grant in the first instance.
As the result of these proceedings
the king took over again all property
rights in the former Virginia grant
and established a colonial government.
Actual possessory rights. which had
accrued under the former grantees,
were recognized, and terms were Of
fered to settlers on which they could
secure crown lands. Under the system
of land disposal as practiced during
the colonial period patents were issued
for greater or less quantities of land
upon payment of sum of. money
an agreement to pay an annual sum
called quit rent" The sale of the
crown lands was chiefly made through
the colonial officials. but there were
considerable grants directly from the
king to favorites on nominal consid-
Grafton. or IN compensation for military
services.
The most noted of these grants was
that made to Lord Culpeper. The land
granted included all the territory lying
between the headwaters of the Rap
pahannock and Potomac rivers and be-
tween the entire lengths of those
rivers to their entrances into the Ches-
apeake bay. This grant is known as
the northern neck of Virginia" and
Lord Fairfax. who succeeded to the
rights Of Lord Culpeper as his heir-at-
law, established a land Office and made
grants on similar terms and in a SINH
lar manner to the grants of crown
lands.

started to run, throwing Mr.. Hale
down; his head struck against a rock,
slightly fracturing his skull and broke
his jaw bone, beside bruising his body
in several places. Mr.. Meador was
summoned at once and dressed his
wounds. Mr.. Hale was brought home
in an unconscious state. AS his i'm

Rev. IrI Hicks at Arcadia AS
sembIy July 23d.

At the urgent request of the man
agement of the Arcadia Assembly,
and of many friends and old ac-
quantances throughout southeastern
Missouri, the editor has consented to
appear on the platform at that place
on July 23d, evening, for an illustrated
lecture, Goods Weather Mill" He
will be assisted by the associate edi-
tor, Rev. j. B. Noyes, who will use a
powerful electric stereopticon, and
pictures made expressly for this lee
ture. They are the only slides of
their kind in the world. They show
the planets as seen in large telescopes,
the relative positions of the sun and
planets each month Of the year, typ
ical storm clouds with lightning
flashes, great whirling twisters in the
act of tearing up all in their path,
wrecks of various kinds resulting
from such tornadoes, ice, sleet and
snow blockades, floods, etc, etc., in
fact all that ear be crowded into the
time, pertaining to Gods Weather
Mill and its grist. Hundreds of fiat
tering offers for Chautauqua work
come in, and millions all over United
States would hail with delight the OPP
portunity the people within reach of
Arcadia will have at the date mem
toned. We say. truthfully that not
many such opportunities are possible
anywhere, and any who desire to hear
this lecture must improve this n or
never hear it at all. Only the fact of
former association with this place,
and the many friends nearby, led to
the acceptance of a work SO arduous
for one who is overworked with his
own business at home. We are mail
ing to friends where possible, and to
postmasters in sections lei Arcadia,
copies of this issue of Word and
Works, and will esteem it a favor If
those who receive them will pass
the word on to others, as we desire
to meet as many friends as possible.
We have no financial axe to grind,
only a desire to do as much good as
we can, while meeting as many old
friends as possible. Our extensive
outfit with the time and services of
two men are freely donated to the
Assembly, which has become one of
the foremost institutions of the kind
in the middle states, accessible for all
modes of travel, and Prof. Hicks an
ticipates meeting a vast assemblage
Of his old friends. The location of
the Assembly is ideal, and none a
fail to enjoy a visit.-Associate Ed.
