Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1912-02-22

and on Christmas day they pro-
claimed their dashing leader william
l, conqueror and king Of England"
In apportioning the estates Of the
Saxons to his followers the conQueror
bestowed on William de Hertburn the
extensive estate known as Wessyng-
ton, and entitled him to heraldic de-
nomination of his choice. Historic
records show him as one of the favor
ite knights of the king.
As a further demonstration OF tho
Importance of the De Hertburns, or
"Wessyngtons." history furnished the
information that the estate In question
was under the command Of the bishop
of Durham, and situated In q locality
exposed to the attack Of the Scots or
northern England. On this border
there was constant warfare. and the
king naturally selected the bravest
and most warlike of his adherents to
hold lands in the disputed district.
For nine years this country between
Durham and York was laid waste, and
for ten years it was practically .
desert, no man having the courage to
attempt cultivation Of the blasted
fields or inhabit the ruined towns.
One hundred thousand People died
in this debatable strip Of land, and
there, where active hostilities ever
reigned, the De Hertburns, or Wes-
syngtons, were stationed. This rec
ord of the great family is absolutely
authentic in every detail. having been
proved by minute research and per-
sonal visits to the locality where its
members were lords Of the soil-a
task which embraced fifteen years Of
heraldic investigation.
Later the estate known ~ Wss-
syngton was spelled and entered Of
ficially as washington. the proprietors
assuming the same name. Then It
was recorded as Washington. and .
natural change Of the owners name
in accordance with that OF his land
followed. The proprietors became
known as William, John, Lawrence.
Robert and Nicholas De Washington.
Finally the heraldio shields and
French prefix of DE" was dropped.
and the modern spelling OF Wash
i-n.g-t-o-n prevailed.
The Washingtons were very prom
inent in the military as well a. the
civic phases Of English life. In the
days of Henry the VIII. when that
monarch was in conflict with the pope
of Rome, Lawrence Washington sided
with the king. and the latter con-
fiscated the monastsriss. converts
and churches Of tho Roman Catholic
church, giving to this Warrington the
Sulgrave estate, where for over cen
tury the Warrington family ruled su'
preme. A decline In their fortunes
then appears to have taken place. for
in 1920, the year the Pilgrims set
sail for America, the Washinstous
were practically driven from the Sui
grave estate to take up residence at
Brighton with minor manors and hold
ings. The loss of hundreds Of acres
of rich meadows and harvest fields
was In a measure courteracted by the
marriage of a Sir William Washing
ton to a sister Of George Viliiars.
Duke Of buckingham. This union
brought about new alliances and af.
filiations which made Washingtons
possible in America. and ultimately
led to the rearing Of George wash
inpton to be the military leader of the
colonies and eventually our first chiet
executive

Carry Your Wagon.

A northern man who had recently
taken possession of southern planta'
ton found that in many ways the peo-
pie spoke a different language from
his own. By mistake a carload of sup
plies had been left at railway station
seven miles away and he was bothered
about getting it to the plantation.
TWhy don't you carry your wagon up
and tote the things down." a symps-
thizing southerner asked him The
northern man laughed heartily at this
expression and repeated It to others.
Instead of laughing they looked at
him, wondering where the joke was.
and he realized that to carry" your
wagon and tote things back was the
proper idiomatie expression. He even
heard young men asking young ladies
Il they might carry" them to dances.

Cleveland Man Walks Home After
Bullets Are Taken Out and
Antidote Is Given.

Cleveland, Ohio, June -
Erick Frieden shot himself twice
in the head with a revolver and
then took corrosive sublimate tab
lets in an effort to kill himself,
but failed. He was taken to a hos
pital, where doctors easily picked
out the bullets which had flattened
against his skull and gave him n
antidote for the poison. When this
had been done Frieden walked
home not much the worse for his
deeds, although he said he didn't
feel very we'll.
In his pockets were found two
letters addressed do women, each
of whom he accused of not caring
for him as they formerly did,
