The following officers were elected: Albert Davis, president; D. Parnham, vice-president; Bert Potter, secretary and treasurer. "Good citizenship in Stafford county," was next presented by R. W. Goodman.

He showed interest in his subject and the talk was well received. The report of the state convention by J. E. Guyer was excellent. GOOD TO HIMSELF.

The "STouncest Congressman." Fays for Ills Own Bouquets. "The young st member of the Fifty-sixth congress" has mailed to Washington a circular which is unique. It is printed in a pretty and captivating brown ink, with a wide margin. It is an altogether sweet and lovely thing. "The youngest member" is Martin H.

Glynn of Albany. He is a little over 26 years of age, and the circulation of his laudatory broadside is an evidence that he lacks not in self-esteem. He prides himself upon being born near tho birthplace of Martin Van Buren and Samuel J. Tilden, announces that his record as a student was "peerless" and congratulates himself on the fact that he won all the prizes and carried off all the honors. But let Mr.

Glynn speak for himself: "He swings a facile pen and has contributed a number of articles to the leading magazines of the country. But it is as a speaker that he has gained most prominence, and wherever he has appeared he has won golden meeds of praise from the press. His speech at the recent banquet of tho Albany society of New York won him laudatory notices from the press of the metropolis. Although young, the opinion is prevalent that Mr. Glynn will be favorably heard in the house of representatives should any measure call him to the floor during his term of office." Many more bouquets does "the youngest member" throw at himself, says the Washington Post.

He speaks of hla "success in the journalistic world," compliments himself on his pluck and ability, and refers to himself as the "hardest kind of a student," but admits rather shyly that he "finds time for social pleasures." Altogether, this dark-brown circular gives one the impression that there is no one in it with Martin H. Glynn, which is evidently the very impression that Mr. Glynn desires to create. All of which calls to mind John Allen's story of the Mississippi campaign orator, who said of a certain candidate for congress that "he had recommended his-self so highly that nothing was left to bo said." Local Color. "Those new people next door are from Boston." "How do you know?" "I heard the man tell his wife that she couldn't bake beans as his mother used to bake them." Chicago Record.
