citizens thought for once Of building q
bridge across the creek. Had they done
so Urbanna would still have been the
county seat.
According 20 our information, there
has been only one hanging in AIiddlesex
county, and that occurred in Urbanna
many years ago. An unusual-possaly
u1heard of-thing happened in Urbanna
before the Revolution. 1t seems that
two .dare-devil" citizens of the county
had in some way gotten in their posses
sion a Kings warrant. and to SHOW
their contempt for his Royal H!ghness,
tied it to a dogs tail and sent him OFF
on a run through tho town. The matter
was reported to the authorities and the
said parties were sentenced to thirty-odd
lasheS with a "cat-o nine tails" The
whipping post was in Urbanna. and
there, OF course, is where the thrashins
took place. a colonial grandfather of

GREAT AND Bravo MEN.
There are many interesting things
which could be written about the old
time people and customs of Urbanna.
Some Of the greatest men Of the country
and the bravest soldiers the world ever
had lived within its borders. Judge
Joseph Christian, now of Richmond, was
born and raised il Trbanna. His brother,
IJr. w. S. Christian. known all over
n -r.iy7
between the States is and has been for
sixty years the family physician for
large majority of the families OF the
county. His home is just Without tte
town limits. Notwithstanding his age,
he is as ninlble and punctual as he was
before he buckled on his sword in 81.
He was married for the second time this
summer two years ago.
IRE much-lamented Hon. William L.
Wilson married a niece of DIR. Christian,
While DR.. A. P. Huntington, former dean

CID heads have either died or moved
away from Urbanna, and the town is,

In q. land where pleasant waters rip
pie, warmed by the unbarred rays OF a
sparkling sun coming out az arm Of the
sea. rests in peaceful view {-rbanna, the
pride of a home-loving people, uncov-
cred to the gaze OF wayfarer, Wanderer
or seeker Of permanent abode. It Is a
town richly possessed of the pride Of
history and is promised destiny al
ready marked by finger prints on the
tablets Of progress.
Urbanna is the chief town of the
county of Middlesex, and is fast awak-
ening to q greater commercial life, and
is seemingly separated by only few
years from It's career as a city Of I'M
portance.
Urbanna is what might be called the
Central town OF the Rappahannock
River as it is centrally located between
the mouth OF that river and the head
OF nayigable water for vessels Of any
great size 1t is built upon very level
land. being located on what is known
to Tidewater people as the FLATS. The
word flats however. does not by any
means signify that the town is built on
low land. for in no instance is there q
dwelling built on land less than 20 to
% feet above Che level OF the sea.
It may be considered an unusually
healthy section, as there are no still
water ponds or marshes within the cor
poration. In fact there is but little of
any other than salt water near the
town, and that surrounds it almost.
From northeast to southwest is Urba-lna
Creek and from north to northeast is
the Rappahannoclt. All water used for
drinking and cooking purposes is ar
tesian and comes from 275 to SEQ feet
below the surface of the ground.
There are two roads running into the
town, one from the lower and the other
from the upper part OF the county. In
coming into the town by the former
way one has to cross a bridge which
spans the creek, the length Of which
most new and is strong and substan-
tial structure. In the center of it is a
draw through which vessels loading at
the head OF dhe creek pass The creek
is navigable for large loaded vessels a
distance of mile or more up, and
there are always several schConers in
Its headwaters loading with lumber,
cord wood or railroad ties
