FARMING OPERATIONS.
Washington inherited Mount Vernon
in 1859 from his half-brothtf, Law
renee Washington, who died in 1857
This brother had daughter, Sarah
who was heiress to the estate, but she
died two years later and the property
then reverted to George, who was then
just ~ years old. The estate then
comprised less than 1000 acres. but
soon after he came into possession he
added $500 acres by purchase, which
gave him ten miles OF river front
Then began the system of improve
ments and cultivation which subse-
quently made Mount Vernon the most
valuable landed property in Virginia
He drained the land wherever needed,
he rotated crops, got the best farm i'm
plements then in existence, built and
repaired fences, had his grist mill, his
own distillery, had his own smithy for
repairing tools, his own carpenter
shop, looms, and he built scores of
houses and cabins for his slaves. His
five farms ranged from 1000 to 1000
acres each, and each farm had it's over
seer and it's allotment of negroes and
stock

HIS GREATEST GLORY.

rhe transcendent glory of Washing
ton as soldier is that when the war
was ended he surrendered his victo-
rious and stainless sword to the civil
authority. For eight long years he had
carried that great trust without salary
or pencuniary compensation of any
kind never but once seeing his be-
loved Mt. Vernon A plant army,
smarting under grievances, would have
made him king or dictator. He
crushed the very suggestion with in
dignant rebuke Cromwell and Ma
poleon, after successful revolutions,
had held on to power There is hard
ly another case in history where. I'M
der like circumstances, power has been
voluntarily surrendered. Washington
set for all successful generals, in all
ages after him, noble and immortal
example, when he sought out that
weak and migratory congress at An
napOlis and in such dignitied and man
ly words as these closed his impressive
speech of resignation:
Having now finished the work as
signed me, retire from the great the
alter of action, and bidding an affec-
Tomato farewell to this august body,
under whose orders | have so long act
ed. | here offer my commission and
take my leave of all the employments
of public life"

HIS FIRMNESS.

Washington belongs, as a soldier,
not with the brilliant military gen
fuses, like Marlborough, Frederick and
napoleon, but with the safe and solid
commanders like Wellington, Scott
and Grant. If he was not quick to
comprehend a situation or devise his
enemys intention. and was sometimes
little puzz ed, as when Howe sailed
from Staten Island ana assembled the
Chesapeake, or on the field of Brandy
wine, he was never rash, and no gen
eral ever completely surprised him.
We can only surmise what he would
have done with larger opportunities on
the great fields of action in European
warfare. believe that under such cir
circumstances he would have been a
great commander of the solid, safe and
enduring order. His firmness, persist
ence and tenacity have rarely been eX-
celled

IOWA STATE NEWS
DAMAGE BY STORM.
Homes nnd Barns Are Wrecked
and Crops Damaged.

Webster county was visited by one of
the severest wind and electrical storms
OF the year. The heavy wind in many
parts of the county assumed the nature
and severity of a cyclone, and many
sheds and outbuildings were blown
down. AT Manson the severity of the
wind was sufficient to blow down sever
al barns, and some houses were in
jured. All through the county the
crops have been greatly damaged, and
the corn is lying fiat. The small grain
is mostly in the shock, with the eN-
ception of the wheat, so that the dam
age to this part of the crops will be
comparatively light. The wheat is bad
ly lodged. The extent of the damage to
the corn is hard to determine. 1t is now
lying fiat, but it is expected it will rise
again SO that the ears will fill out. The
stalks are very heavy, and this may
prevent its rising enough to give it it's
full development. In many cases
farmers believe the damage through
out all this section of Iowa will be con-
siderable. In Fort Dodge most of the
damage was done by lightning. The
residence of j. E. Duncombe, president
of the Fort Dodge & Omaha, was struck
by lightning and damaged. The tele-
graph and telephone wires We're also
