land county, Virginia. John Washing.
ton of Brighton parish, Northampton
shire, England, came to Virginia in
1857 and bought a farm on the Poto-
mac river between Bridge creek and
Pope's creek, in what was then North
umberland county, but which long,
long ago became Westmoreland coun-
ty. He bought the farm from Col.
Pope, a great landholder in the early
colonial era, and whose daughter,
Anne Pope, became the wife of the
immigrant John Washington. These
were the great grandparents of George
Washington the Great. John Wash
ington, through his marriage to Anne
Pope, obtained lands outside Of the
farm purchased by him. The original
farm is owned by John +. Wilson, who

Some Of these people. writes Guy L.

They are all plain and simple folk

their neighbors. A peculiar thing
about this family is that all its mem

Worry has never been known to benefit
anyone; on the contrary, it always injuries
by sapping the nervous energy and robbing
the body Of the strength so necessary to any
degree of happiness in life.
If a woman allows worry TO take hold of
her she finds it extremely difficult to over
come the habit. 1t so presses down upon her
life that usefulness vanishes and she becomes
morbid, ultra-scnsitive creature, of little
use TO either herself or others. 4
Worry brings in its train the tagged brain,
the wrinklcd brow, and the dull eye, a sense
of lassitude and a premature loss of youth
fulness.
