ing prospectors to their respective subdivisions,
without cost to the prospector or purchaser.

Texas, Mrs. J. II. Uankhead and Mfss Mario
Baukhead, of Alabama; Mrs. W. II. Perry, of

of Senator Hampton, constituting the Congres
sional delegation; also Miss Julia Nelson and
Miss Lucy Herndou, of Virginia; Mrs. A. M.
aud Miss Langllo, of North Dakota, and Mrs.
II. Tingle, of Maryland. The proximity of
this beautiful subdivision to Washington, and
the supei broads by which it is reached, makes
it one of the most deslrablo places arouud tho
