teresting to note at this point that the
citizens in days gone by were right on
the job when it came to posting the
roads, Several times along on the trip
we noticed signs giving the distances and
indicating by arrows the direction and
names of the towns. Although somewhat
weather beaten they proved their value
and aided greatly on the run. The first
sign we found on the blacksmith's shop
at Centerville, pointing to Manassas,
which was the next town on the route.

better one than the one we previously
travelled over. 1t is of a reddish clay.
