Historic Mount Vernon.

The fact that Washington lived and
died at Mount Vernon will always
make the place a Mecca for patriotic
Americans. Aside from this fact, how
ever. the place is one Of quiet beauty.

him as good an education as posi-
bic. consistent with circumstances,
an d. even better, stamped upon his
character ineffaceable traits of manly
decision and virtue. Washington held
his mother in very high regard, and
hd was the special object of her atfec-
tibn and her efforts to bring him up to
noble deeds. AS a boy he could ride
well, shoot well, more than maintain
himself among his fellows, and tell
the truth.
At sixteen we see him, as Il young
explorer surveying the lands Of Lord
Fairfax, rOughing it among the woods
and the Indians, succeeding equally
well among savage tribes and among
the high pcial circles Of Williamsburg.
Rising rapidly, in three years he was
made adjutant- general of militia in his
district. and before he was tWenty-One
was dispatched by Governor Din
woodie on a diplomatic mission to the
French invaders Of the Ohio region,
a most dangerous and delicate task,
which was we'll performed.
Meadows, his heroic endeavors at
Braddock's defeat, his intrepid course
at Fort Du Quesne, revealed to all
discerning observers that he had in
him the stuff of which not only good
border soldiers, but also great gen
erals. are made, and one of these OBJ
servers, the eloquent preacher, Sam
uel Davies, was wise enough to pre-
diet that that heroic youth. Colonel
Washington, would some day render
his country some distinguished SER
vice.
When time came for action Wash
ington proved this prediction true.
He was no revolutionist, yet he was
one of the earliest to grasp the thought
of the necessity for American indie
pendence, and urged the step when
it was neither popular nor safe to dc
so.
He dec AIRED at Williamsburg, III
1774, that he was ready to raise q
thousand men, support them at MS
own expense, and march them to the
relief of Boston. a few weeks later
he rode on horseback, with PatrlcE
Henry and Edmond PendietOn, to at
tend the first Continental Congress
where he was, by the confession O
Henry himself, easily the greatest mar
among the delegates. Though seldoh
heard in public speech in the malls
of Congress, yet he gradually acquired
the reputation Of being the wisest on

Leaves for Creener Fields.

Dr. w. S. Hart, Osteopathic physi- elan, left Wednesday for greener fields, leaving a number of creditors and pa tients to regret his departure.
 Dr. Hart located here in February last and entered into a large and lucra- tive practice as an osteopath, which he retained until his sudden departure.
 A number of his patients complain that the doctor took their money and forgot to tell them of his intention to leave before he gave the treatments paid for in advance, and then refusing to refund the money advanced.
 It is said the doctor will locate in Los Angeles, and again that he will locate in Boston.
 It may be that the doctor forgot to pay his bills before he left, but it was not for lack of funds to pay, us he car ried away money in every pocket.

The appointment of A. II. Smith TO the
general SUPPLEMENTARY of the Lake Erie

railroad men to the physical condition of
that property. Interest in the physical
regeneration Of that road has been re-
awakened only to come upon the discovery
that in a large measure it has been per-
fected. The groundwork has at least been
completed. and the finer details will be
worked out as time and finances permit.
For instance, il is now learned that the
construction crews are at work, and have
made wonderful progress at ~relaying the
entire line with a heavier grade of steel
rail. either a seventy-fve or an eighty
pound 1T" In addition to that work the
reballasting is being pushed with as much
Vigor as possible, and everything is being
done TO bring the Lake Erie q Western

neceSsitate that some great amount of time
be consumed before it is all completed. and

therefore, Mr.. Smith will not have the
