cident In 1925 the popular Gen. La
fayette stopped there while on his IA
nous tour of the states. From the
porch of a building on one of the east
ern sides Of the public square he adj
dressed a multitude of people who
had assembled to give him welcome.
Lafayette had promised TO speak the
same day at Rehoboth church, six
miles away, and so great was the en-
thusiasm that a chain OF sentinels was
stationed all along the road lead ing
there. Each one Of the men passed
the signal of Lafayette's starting from
Perryopolis to Rehoboth by waving u
red handkerchief TO the other. In less
than three minutes the roar of cannon
announcing the fact could DO heard at
the latter place.
Within recent years Pcrryopolis has
taken more interest in the affairs of
the outside world than ever before.
Previously the people seemed salts
fed to live in the recollections of
the past. In fact. it was really all
they had to live for in some respects
They had very little communicas
ton with other points on account of
the difficulty in reaching them. For
that reason, perhaps, little if any inn
provement was made. Those who
lived there were generally to the
manor born, comfortably endowed and
satisfied with their happy, il hum
drum, existence. In half century
but three houses were built and the
town to-day is practically what 1t was
at the beginning. The addition of a
few modern styled verandas, awnings,
etc, however, have given the old
buildings newer appearance than
they are really entitled to.
There is hardly any doubt that with
proper transportation facilities Wash
ington's famous plantation would
verify his Judgment II is the center
of one of the best fruit districts in the
state. Vast coal fields, heretofore un-
worked, lie short distance south
ward. Great banks of the finest white
sand. just the kind that glass man
ufacturer wants, crop up everywhere.
About the beginning of the century a
glass house was built. which was kept
in continuous operation up to within
score OF years ago, when the disad-
vantageous situation rendered compe-
tition with other works of the hind

the abundant sand stores that IL could

gives details of the funeral OF a dis

mourners and admirers. The funeral,
Including the cremation, cost one

successful battle with the Indians, who
were driven farther west
Although commenced in l774. several
years passed before it was finally com
pleted. No sooner was the work fair
ly commenced than the Indians would
become troublesome, the laborers
would get frightened and shortly de-
sert to the protection of old Redstone
fort, few miles away. Block houses
were built in the vicinity of the mill in
the hope that they would rely on them
for protection in case of attack, but the
first fresh atrocity of the redskins, who
were continually raiding the frontiers
at that time, would create a new panic,
In few minutes the whole force would
have disappeared and not be heard of
again until the fort was reached.
Valentine Crawford, who had succeed
ed his brother as Washingtons agent,
wrote aboEt this time: Il consider il
a pity that the mill was ever begun in
these times"
Finally Washington set about to dis
pose of the whole business. The revo-
lutionary war, then going on, prevent
ed him from giving it the attention il
demanded, so that il was not until
1889 that he succeeded in leasing it TO
Col Isaac Shreve, one of his old army
comrades, who finally bought it out
right in 1905.
With the property went all the slaves
belonging 20 Washington. One of
these was great favorite of the gen
eral, and the poor darby in after years
never tired of sounding the praises Of
his former master. Funty Munty-so
he was cailed-became famous in the
history Of old Fayette on account of his
interesting recollections. He lived to
be 116 years of age, dying as recently
as 1875. According to tho Fayetts
county records Funty Munty was
valued at eco in the sos, but had fall
len in value to $40 at the opening Of
the rebellion.

THE attitude OF the British news

the Briton. The English admiral,

acting upon the dictates of
common sense, warned the Bra
zilians to let her alone, and they did
so. The English. however prefer
that the merchantmen should have
been fired upon and sunk rather than

popular fad in many schools two or

abandoned. 1t was found that

There is really no instruction in art
gained by the teachers amusing their
pupils in this way. The younger
scholars like it, but it is better to
let them find their amusement in the
mud pies which they make without
any instruction. That kind of play
may not be good for the clothes, buS
1t never injured health.
