The old colonial town on Dumtries,
Va, Prince William County, was once
one of the commercial cent~rs of Vir-
ginia, but has been neglected for more
than seventy-five' years past. Lately the
place has been showing many signs of
renewed vitality, and many houses are
going up. Its location is near Quantico,
and it is now reached by railroad as well
as stage. Dumfries was originally set
tied by Scotch merchants, and George
