Letter from LOud0un County.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
LEEsBURG, Va, January Isl hear of
nothing Of moment to communicate unless 1t
be the continued movement in lands In ad-
dition to those named in the Washing onian, and
which brought about 1913 900 into the county, |
note the private sales Of Richard James to
William Stone Of l0S acres for Sc, 900, and Of
John Reese to Richard James, 1914 acres, for
$4,000 ...
They both lie near Lovettsvillc, in the dis
puted territory" and we're appraised in 1855
at $50 and $35, respectively. The assessed
price of the buildings on the l0S acre tract is
$500, and on the other 5000.
The increase in value over the assessment
of 1855 in the one case is 10 per cent, and in
the other 335 per cent. .-
The necessity for good roads can be made
apparent by simple statement:
Last summer gentemanIiVing near Mounts
vile, paid cents bushel for hauling corn to
Leesburg this winter new neighbor of his
has 10 pay Is cents.
A good turnpike to Aide. and another from
Rector's Cross Roads by Philomont to Lin
coin, and thence to Mercer's depot and lay
lor's Cross Roads, would in three years save
benefited by them. Thus 1000 bushels of
q
bushel, would be $3.50, and very few farmers
less than these quantities of grain.
| think may say, without the risk of con-
tradiction from any one that not less than
100000 bushels of grain would reach the A.,
L. & Fl. r. R over the two roads named and
would be cents per bushel, or $4,000. Be-
old fol ho,,1
and using the same team in fine weather to
plough and do other farm work, would proba
bly, be not less than $1,000 each year; say
$4,000 in three years.
AS we recover from our prostration, produc-
ton will increase, and the gain by good roads
would be incalculable
| venture to assert that no farmer five miles
from the railroad, aud within two miles OF these
roads, would lose anything by making an abso-
lutte gift Of 81 per sore on every acre that he
owns.
To illustrate farmer whose -four was in
Thoroughtare Mills, in Prince William, had a
turnpike all the way to Alexandria, and his
six horses could haul the load of 20 barrels of
-four to town, and two tons of plaster back, and
make the trip in five days. 49,
From Thoroughtare to Salem the road was
not delig htful, and a gentleman near Salem
had to send wagons, drivers, and 10 horses
to the former place, at cost OF 81 extra one
day in each week, to do the work of his neigh
bors six horses This Was 30 cents per barrel,
and at 200 barrels $40 per arnum, which is 81
per acre on farm of Gee acres.
500, 900 to our railroad and 100000 to
bridges turnpikcs, and county roads, would be
gainful expenditure of county bonds

There is still great activity in the arsenals and
