The Year Book of 1924 was printed and was being bound when a fire occurred in the print ing office and destroyed not only all of the printed books, but all of the manuscript as well. N ew manuscript of the papers had then to be secured and the Editor was successful in securing them all except the papers by the Rev. C. M. Wh itmore on the " Planting of the Province of Maryland at St. Mary's City in 1634," "Some Magrud er G raves in Mi ssissippi Recently Visited," by the Rev. J . M. Magruder, D . D., and the paper by C. C. Magrud er on "John Magruder of Dun­ blane." These papers could not be secured, consequentl y, they cannot be published in this Year Book. It was decided to publish the Year Books of 1924 and 1925 together und er one cover. That is why you will find both Year Books bound to­ gether. • OFFICERS. HEREDITARY CHIEF, SIR M AL C<ll.
