From the shepherdstown Register

From the Shepherdstown Register.
DR.. A. S. Reynolds has purchased
from the heirs of r. D. Shepherd the
tract of land lying north of the Mar
ttnsburg road, justwest of town, con-
tanning in the neighborhood of 30
acres. We understand the price
paid was $3.50 per acre. Messrs.
G. I. Licklider and F.. /. Lee have
bought from the same parties the
tract of % acres south of the road,
paying $50 per acre.
A rather exciting incident occurred
at the Potomac Cement Mill near
Shepherdstown a few days ago.
While the river was pretty high the
canal-boat loaded with cement was
started up the river. 1t got stuck
on the bank, and about forty barrels
of cement were taken from the boat
and placed on a scow to tighten it up.
The boat then foated, and with the
scow towing after, was pulled on up
the river. When a short distance

scow was fastened to the canal boat

THE New RoAD MACHINE. r.
w. Norris, of Jefferson county, w.
Va, agent for the New Western Re-
versibIe Road Machine and Grader,
gave an exhibition of the fine work
which this we'll constructed and ex-
celIent machine is capable of doing,
recently on Amherst street, between
Stewart and west Water street. The
machine was drawn by four horses,
belonging to Messrs. Oyler & Eber-
sole. The ground where the trial
took place was very hard; neverthe-
less the machine did not have any
difficulty in grading and throwing the
earth up from both sides and level
ing in the center in short WHILE
President Joseph a. Miller and Mr..
E. r. Thatcher of the Board of SUI
.peryisors, Mayor VIM. NJ. Atkinson
and number of other gentleman
were present at the trial and with one
accord expressed themselves as being
perfectly satisfied that the machine
would do all that its energetic, wide
awake and gentlemanly agent repre-
scented. One of these machines
should be in every district or the
county. The city should also pur-
chase one for use in grading and lev
cling streets. 1t is a great labor saw
ing machine and has deserved rep
utation wherever it is in use. The
cost of q single machine isonly 1925.

the enclosed extracts from the Baltimore Sum,
aud at the same time calling your attention to
the fact that the Mount Vernon family of
Washingtons, who were born aud reared at
looked by your invitation committee. l write
indeed more IN behalf of the COMMITTEES than of
this family of Westinghouse because l am sure
the committee would be chngrined to think
relations of Washington they had overlooked
tho family who inherited Mt. Vernon. and for
so many years made the place public to visi-
tors. aud entertained them often al the expense
of their own privacy aud comfort. The fun
Dy occupy the highest social position. and in
their respective communities filled places of
honor and confidence. They are children of
Col. John A. Washington. of Gen. Robert E.
Lees staff, who fell in the late war. He sold
Mt. Vernon aud part of the estate to the Ladies'
Mt. Vernon Association, having Inherited it
from his father, who Inherited it from Judge
Bushrod Washington, WHO Inherited 1t from
John Angustin. who was f;Ill brother of the
General. Their names and postofiices are as
follows: Lawrence Washington. Marshall, Fau-
qutrer county. Va; George Washington,

renee Washington inherited the Generals IL
brary and other interesting relics. which. no
doubt, he would have been glad to have lent to.
the exhibition. As the Washington hns been
one of the most prolific on record. from it's
earliest history to the present time it is quite
to the centennial. The ut. Vernon family are
modest, retiring people, and have never pa
raded the name. They hold. l am sure. as l
do. that g. w was pre-e;niEently the Father
of His country. and that the Washington FAM
lily, being confined to no name. is composed of
sixty millions of American freemen. Viii yon
