Washington, and the other for his
wife's daughter, Nelly Gusts. have
never heard any question raised about
the authenticity Of the story that he
planted both of the bushes. Just how
the tradition of the efficacy of the
Nelly Custis' as love-charm origi-
mated I can't say, but 1t is certainly
very old. The negroes on the place
used to loiter around it while court
ing, because they believed they would
soon be allowed to marry, through its
influence"
Whenever there was dance or pic
mic in the neighborhood, say the old
timers, every young wench about the
vicinity wanted to go armed with
sprig Of the white rose, for each Of
them believed that once she got on
good terms with the NELLY Gusts" no
colored swain could resist her. Every
warm evening saw dusky couples
sneaking around Mount Vernon and
colored wallhowers tramped miles to
get one of the matchless posfes.
There is good ground for the belief
that the legend is nearly as old as the
rosebush ITSELF A Virginia matron OF
the old school, one of those to whom
the bush will be ever dear, told the
writer that charming Nelly GUSTS her
self is said to have worn one of the
white roses in her bosom when her
future husband, Major Lewis, pro.
posed to her.
my grandmother" said this lady,
used to tell me that the bush was a
great favorite with Nelly Custis. She
tended it assiduously and used to
place her chair near it when she read
and sewed. The white roses which it
produced were her favorite flowers.
Perhaps it was only because she knew
they became her that she so frequent
~ wore them, but they came to be as
ISOLATED with her. I have somewhere
seen a portrait of her with white
rose nesting among the laces Of hel
frock and I, for one, would gladly be
lieve that it was one of the blossoms
from this identical bush.

could think Of little but the second
war with England. It took long
time for the country to settle down
after that war and so it happened
that nothing but a little headstone
marked the grave when Lafayette
revisited this country in 1926. La
fayette had known Mrs. Washington.
To him is given the credit of call
ing her a Roman matron. Some of
the prettiest observations on the
character of this woman were writ
ten by Lafayette.
After the surrender of Cornwall
lis at Yorktown the citizens of
Fredericksburg gave a great bail to
Washington and a number of Ameri-
can and French officers. Lafayette
was there. Mrs. Washington, though
an old woman and not much inter-
ested in festive things, was after
long persuasion induced to attend
the ball, called then and noted long
after as 1.-The peace ball."

Finest region for dairying, sheep rails
ing and for poultry cannot be excelled.
These good people have horses. cattle,
sheep. hogs. chickens and turkeys.
They just now have u turkeys setting
on three eggs. Hold on I got it wrong
it was three turkeys, each hen cover
ing u eggs. While these good folks
have come for one year as trial, we
hope to see them to settle down to
permanent citizenship.
