I/vcipry . |Hi" - ??? IN OLD VIRGINIA. We have just returned from a delightful viait to"picturesque and historic Virginia? Richmond, around which cluster* Confederate history dear to every Southern heart?Interesting battle-Aelds over which the 'Starry Cross," the much-loved battle flag of the South once waved triumphantly, and the White Houae of the Confederacy* now owned by the Daughters of the Confederacy, where the treasures of an linforgotten and sacred Past are garnered. Yorktown, at the King's orders, was Jald out in 16911 The old court hotifee erected in 1706, still stands in a good state of preservation. The building contains many interesting relics and is owned by the Comptft dfi Graaae Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was here that Cornwall!* surrendered to Washington, October 19, 1781. A noble, monument commemorates this event. As its inscription conveys, it was by the victory of Yorktown that the independence of America was Anally achieved. From 3,600 Inhabitant* In Revolutionary time the number has dwindled down to 800. The venerable houses, the historic spots-and monuments, the ancient gnarled trees, the grassgrown breastworks and the wild flowers that park the, braff, all contribute to the renown of tfe.e battle-scarred village. The Episcopal church was built in 1700 and tne bell, bearing date' 1788 and the communion service still in use were presented to the church by Queen Anne. Williamsburg has the silken thread of romance woven in its history, for it was here that Washington wooed and won the charmirtg Martha Custis. The estate was known,>s the White House, the pile of which can still be seen embowered in trees on the south bank of the Panuihsjcy. Only the kitchen is left of her once Imposing property Which war- in the center of extensive grounds enclosed by handsome cedat and holly trees. Bruton Parish Church a is most interesting. The parish dates from 1682. Four presidents of the United States nave - worshipped within Its walls. George 'Washington's name appears in the Parish register eleven times. The gallery is interesting as having been assigned to'the students of William and Mary College under the law that when -the students assembled the door should be locked and the key given to tho sexton. As'Thomas Jefferson was locked in this gallery it may be re ..... mt -? R?W ?? the "Or?dle of Keltgloiu ligtous freedom. The woodwork tft carved with the names of atudeute of ??& as was brought up from J me stow if end has been associated by tradition, which is doubtless without fou&4** tiop, with the baptism of Pocahuntas. The church has three beautiful sets of communion services. The Jamestown servtoe of 1061, the service of William and Mary College of 1680, andea set presented by Kins: George III in 1794. There are many interesting and ancient graves in the churchyard, and upon its associations and traditions the preeent sexton is the most interesting authority, and may be relied upon in spite of his assertion that the father or Hamlet that Mr. Shakespeare w?ote about is buried somewhere in the churchyard, this idea having come to him upon reading the htatement that in the churchyard 'by the side of the statesmen and war-: riors of the past, "the rude forefath-j era of the hamlet sleep." May w? quote from H. D. Cole.: Williamsburg, Va.: "Preserved and restored, the old church is typical of the strong and simple architectural deaigqg. pf the colonial period, and a witness of the faith and devotion of the Nations Builders. "A link among the days, to knit the generations each to each*' " For Mrs. Barnett r Complimenting' her house-guest, Mrs. W. R.

His endeavors were crowned with success in a material way and for a number, of years h,e figured prominently in the business, civic and social life of Portland, Oregon. In recent years he moved to California and his poularity and the esteem in which he was held was attested' by the number of letters and telegrams received by the family here, express-' ing sorrow and the dUtinct lbii~b{} passing had caused the community ih which he had lived.
