George Washington Had, as Was
Appropriate, the Finest House
In the National Capital.
COST MUST HAVE. BEEN GREAT
From Records II seems That the First
President Either Built or Had In
Contemplation Other Habits
ticns-Brltish Respected
the Mansion.

Records show that George Washing.
ton had In mind the building OF an
other house. or other houses than his
home on Capitol Hill. There ID no
available record to show how much
money Washington expended upon his
city mansion. The cost must have
been considerable In those days OF
slow travel, when bricks were brought
across the ocean In sailing vessels.
and when experienced bricklayers
we're few and able to command very
high wages.
Although only three stories in
height. 1t was a very large and roomy
house. Moreover. 1t was intended to
be the best house in the Federal city.
for Washington undoubtedly realized
the fact that he was the foremost
citizen of the new republic and one
of the foremost men In the whole
world.
Although now level with the street.
It is known that the mansion original
stone steps. The grounds were sur
rounded by hedge fence. similar to
the hedge which surrounds Mount
Vernon estate. The mansion faces
east and is parallel with the capitol
building. Its front view was over q
large level plateau which was bound.
ed by the horizon-tipped hills Of Mary
land; plateau upon which Washing.
ton expected the Federal city to be
built Washington. Jefferson. Carroll
and others purchased substantially all
of the best land on the plateau. But
their heirs held the land at such spec.
ulative prices that homemakers
sought the vicinity of the White
House instead of the capitol. and the
Federal city was builded on the west
and northwest part of the city en-
vironments,
Admiral Wilkes purchased the man.
sion from the heirs of Washington.
and used It as his residence during his
lifetime. His heirs sold It to John
Tally. an lrish-American tavern-keep-
er. Tally rented 1t to numerous prom.
inent society folks. always receiving
a high rental for 1t from them. About
forty years ago Tally sold 1t to q man
named Hillman. who used It for ho-
tel, and 1t was locally known as "The
Hillman House." That owner died,
and the residence was sold and re-
sold number of times, being used
the greater part Of the time as q
boarding house.
When the British soldiers captured
the Federal city. In 1914. and ravaged
It savagely. they so respected the
Washington mansion that they did not
injure 1t. nor even invade It.

Not Altogether Case Of Love.
Here is story to illustrate the
point that one never can judge by ap-
pearances.
"A young. boy with golden curls. a
regular cherub in appearance. was on
the front porch playing with little
dog and putting him through lot OF
tricks. A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance of the
little chap and the celebrity with which
the dog obeyed all his Commands.
"Ah. little boy" he said, you must
love your dog. Are you good to
him?'
"'Sure.' answered the cherub.
"And I suppose he loves you.
too. and that's why he minds you SO
well?'
"'Well. II he didn't mind me, I'd
knock his blooming block off, was the
unexpected retort of the child"

Columbia, Tenn, Nov. 20, 1913.
To the Board of Trade of Columbia
Knowing that the Columbia Board of
Trade has in the past given material
help and encouragement to the corn
club In the county, in the form of
substantial prizes, and believing that
the Board of Trade is ever ready
to encourage a worthy organization,
the Maury County Corn Club wishes
to present it's cause to the Columbia
Board of Trade.
In the past the large prizes offer
ed have attracted many boys into
the ranks of the corn cub. Large
clubs have reported in the spring
only to dwindle away as the season
advanced till very small per cent
of those who entered the contest re-
NAMED to report yield of corn.
This is naturally very discouraging,
On account of the small number of re-
ports made out by contestants in the
close of the contests, the Board has
withdrawn it's support. We believe
the present condition is the natural
result of the weakness of the admin
istration of the system. The boys
entered the club work in good faith,
and with much enthusiasm. In most
eases the teacher is young lady.
