FAIRFAX COUNTY.
Remarkable Improvement in the Land
and Its Value.

anu Ath NhluBs
This seems to be an age Of land specu-
lating in and around Washington city. The
historic old county Of Fairfax, on the Vlr-
ginia side, presents attractions and ad-
vantages. This county was formed IN 1913,
and named in honor Of Lord Fairfax. Ac-
cordlng TO the United States census report
Of 1880 the county has an area Of $40 square
miles. It is bounded on the northeast by
the Potomac river, east and southeast by
Prince William county, and west by Lou
doun county; the Occoquan river washes
the southwest border. The Virginia Mid
land, the Washington and Ohio, and the
Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroads
pass through the county. The surface is
diversified with hills and level land.
The soil, when properly cultivated, is
very productive, and much Of wornout
land has been and is now being reclaimed,
under more thorough system Of culture,
and proves to be highly productive. LANDS
In this county which have been sold TO
northern parties since the war for S.
or $40 per acre will now command,
In most cases, double that amount.
The timbers of the county are oak,
pine, chestnut, locust, and walnut.
Red sandstone and gray granite are found
In large deposits In various sections OF the
county. Iron, copper, asbestos, and soap
stone abound. The transportation facilities
are OF the best, there being scarcely place
more than five or eight miles from some of
the railroads which traverse tho county
north, south, east, and west.
The people Of Fairfax have all the advan-
tages Of Washington, Georgetown, aud
Alexandria markets. There Is no county in
the state making more progress In material
development. Since the war Judge w.
Fullerton, of New York, purchased large
tract OF worn-out land near Clifton Station,
and now II is the model farm, not only o I
Fairfax county but of Virginia. Many others
might be mentioned OF like character.
