Each strip or piece of iron binds one number of the LAND OWNER; so any one number can be taken out and carried to court or else. where, and replaced again without dis- turbing the others. No pins or needles being used, there is no mutilation of the paper. See further description on third page of cover. You can get this improved binder FREE by sending two subscriptions with your own ($9). A few minutes' canvassing among the lawyers of yopr place will secureit. As the LAND OWNER is issued every two weeks, and claims to publish every land department ruling and circular of importance, no respectable land attorney can possibly do justice to his clients without it. HON. W. A. J. SPARKS. The newly-appointed Commissioner of the General Land Office was born near New Albany, Indiana, about fifty years ago. of Virginia parents. They removed to Illinois when he was seven years of age, and died shortly therealter, leaving him in destitute circnstances. Blessed with a strong mind and excellent constitution, he - worked by day and studied by night, until at eighteen he was regarded by his neigh- bors as something of a prodigy. By teach- ing school he secured means to attend MeKendree College, where he graduated with honor. In 1850 he studied law under Chief Justice Breese, and was admitted to the bar in 1851. He was appointed Re- ceiver at the Evansville Land Office when only twenty years of age, and filled the office creditably until it was closed, with the other land offices in Illinois. He was Presidential elector on the Dem- ocratic State ticket in 1856, the last time it was carried by the Democrats. He was elected to the lower branch of the Legis. lature, and, after serving with distinction therein, was elected to the State Senate in 1863. He was delegate tothe Presidential conventions of 1868 and 1884, and was presiding officer of most of his State con- ventions, and otherwise prominent during the same period. In 1814 he was elected to Congress as a Democrat in a district regarded as Repub- lican, and was re-elected in 1876, 1878 and 1880. In the recent apportion'ment, as the only way of defeating him, the Republi- cans tore his district asunder, and dis- tributed it-among the four adjoining dis- tricts. During all this political labor he prac- ticed law successfully, and had a wide rep- utation as a jury lawyer. He is noted as a ready speaker, and ranks high as an orator. Through his extensive law prac- tice and well-chosen investments, he is in possession of a liberal fortune. In personal appearance, the Commis- sioner has handsome features and a large, well-shaped lead, is fully six feet high, and weighs above two hundred pounds. He impresses the visitor as a man of great mental power and rare physical ehergy and strength. He is very courteous and polite, and gives a patient hearing to every comer without distinction. Like his name-sake, Andrew .ackson, he is noted for his great firmness of charac- ter, and-has the reputation of being stub- bornly honest. The land service is to be congratulated on his appointment.
