A MEMORIAL TO PAUL JONES

In providing for an appropriate
memorial TO mark the resting place
of John Paul Jones. the great Amer
lean admiral. the National Gov
eminent has been shamefully negli-
gent. but the patriotic women OF
Fredericksburg have resolved 10 DO
what they can to honor the memory
of this illustrious sea-fighter. and,
what is more. have achieved their
purpose.
Paul Jones had only one home In
the United States. and that was IN
the beautiful and historic city on
the banks OF the Rappahannock
where the dauntless sailor lived with
his brother. William Paul. Desir-
Gus OF concentrating this fact. the
Betty Washington Lewis Chapter OF
the Daughters Of the Revolution at
fredericksburg have had made a
very handsome bronze memorial
tablet. which will be placed on the
house where Jones lived. Appropri-
ate ceremonies will shortly take
place. and Miss Josephine Barney,
descendant OF two famous COM
modores OF our navy, will unveil the
tablet
This is very patriotic action.
and those who have taken part in It
deserve high praise. The nation
has never paid its debt to Paul
Jones, living or dead. but the tab
let at Fredericksburg will be q
graceful and proper tribute to the
memory of a valiant pillar OF the
American Revolution who should
ever have the gratitude OF his

Sunshine is warm enough to start the

The general trend is to large crops
and improved methods. The selection
of seed, especially Of corn. is receiving
attention. believe most of good
gardeners plant the seed sent out by

much better seed and the independent
man must look for the best seed as the
requisite TO the best results.

THE AUTO ROUTE
Its Importance to This Section-Mr.
Jaynes' Letter, Etc.

Stafford Co., Va, March LIST, 1911.
To The Free Lance
We were much impressed by Mr..
David Jayne's letter referring to the
automobile road, and hope that citizens
Of all the adjoining counties as well as
Of Fredericksburg may regard the mat
ter from his point of view and u lie every
available means to make this the route
adopted. Having heard the matter dis
cussed by business men of Richmond,
we are led to believe that more than
one man of prominence there would
contribute literally to that end. IL is an
undisputed fact that this would be far
the most direct and economical route.
The benefit that such a road would be
to Fredericksburg is inestimable, and
at the same time old Stafford would
come in for her share of the profit.
What are called roads and highways in
the county would brighten off any one
contemplating getting here, and the
many acres of surplus land cannot be
disposed of until the people awaken to
the fact that something must be done
to improve the roads.
