We say this because price is misleading. You won't have to pay us any more for what is reliable than you will be asked somewhere else for what is not worthy your con- fidence.

Hubbard, in opening the meet- ing, said, in speaking of Mr. Goode: “It was at Twin Oaks, one of the last Sundays in June, that ne spent the last morning with us. He walked with us through the grounds, trimming away the too abundant branches, pointing out beau- ties of plant and flower, which he was so quick to see and feel, and showing a knowl. edge of the habits and needs of every tree and shrub. He passed from the grounds to the lbrary, and looking over a portfolio of recent Japanese prints, he showed a perfect familiarity with them, selecting the good, rejecting the poor and Knowing the value of each. With books he was equally fa- miliar—more than once suggesting some rare book that I might like to purchase.

He said: “If Dr. Goode was en- dowed with one good quaiity more than another, that was sincerity. He was a man whom pecple trusted instinctively.

Three times he was elected at- torney general of his state without oppo- sition. He was an advocate of secession while he held that office. At the close of the war Mr. Tucker resumed private prac- tice, and became counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. He was as- sociated with others in the defense of Jef- ferson Davis. He occupied the chair of professor of law in_ Washington and Lee University, and in 1874 was elected almost unanimously to the House of Representatives. In the House he soon made his mark as a keen and witty, yet profound, debater. He was an earnest advocate of the electoral commis- sion, and after that, interesting himself in the subject of the tariff, he delivered a Speech that still stands as a masterpiece of iogic from his point of view, which was that of a tariff for revenue only. Mr. Tucker retired from Congress voluntarily in 1887, after twelve years’ honorable ser- vice, having served twice as chairman of the committee on the judiciary. After a shoft time spent in private prac- tice, largely before the United States Su- preme Court, he was again tendered and accepted his favorite chair of law at Wash- ington and Lee University, which he held at the time of his death. Mr. Tucker was president of the American Bar Association in 1893 and 1894, and was mentioned as a Probable member of President Cleveland's cabinet during his first administration.
