get busy and put the town in
order as never before, to be ready
for the throng of visitors they

the names RI various Revolutionary
patriots on oEr map. One notes at a
glance ClsIle (18SD, Warren and
Mercer 1SS7), Greene (1sss), Pulaski
QSS9). Carr oil, Wayne and Marion
u842). 1t was the Virginia custom to
set these me MORALS to those who had
some direct connection with the history
tof this State. There are Of course
some exceptions. Warren is one, But
DR.. Warren was as worthy the honor
done HIM by Virginia as any patriot
could we'll be. He was one of the very
first martyrs to the cause of our indie
tendance
Joseph Warren was boin in Roxbury,
Mass Q73D. He graduated from Har-
yard College, studied medicine. took
an early and very active part in urging
the extreme rights of the colonists
against the aggressions of the Tory
government. AS a writer and orator.
as close friend of the Adams patriots.
as Wing leader in Boston, and as the
author of the Suffolk" Resolutions.
which were really rebellion, he was at
once marked man and the idol of Bos
ton. 1t was he who sent Paul Revere
to rouse the country side. In effect
he became the rebel governor of Mass
achusets, and was soon made Major
General of the militia. At the battle
OF Bunker Hill, as he sought to rally
his men, he was hit in the head by a
bullet and instantly killed. By his
death ne greatly strengthened the op-
position to the Crown and perhaps
his sensational fall was more influen-
tial in rousing New England than his
influence in his life could have been.
THE LAST DIVISION.
Yet once again the dominion of old
Frederick was to be divided, perhaps
for the last time. After the Civil war
1855. the western part of Hampshire
was cut off and Mineral county took
her place as part of the new State of
West Virginia. The name was doubt
less suggested by the extensive mineral
wealth of the mountains which have
since been developed. Hardy was at
the same time divided and her western
portion called Grant after the great
general who had at length succeeded in
crushing the Copfederacy and taking
Ri cbmerd.
THE FAIRFAX STONE.
At@the very head Of the Potomac
Baron Fairfax had set stone. 1t
marked the extreme limit of his great
procession. and by the same token the
extreme limit of Maryland-and Of Old
Frederick ard consequently at the cor
ner of the counties of Garrett, Md
and Tucker, Grant and Preston, West
Virginia. So far as human wit NAV
foresee this stone will stand upon. one
of the permanent corners of our geog..
raphy and will continue to suggest to
generations as yet unborn one of the
fascinating stories of our early his ory.
There is little town nearby in " est
Virginia that bears appropriately
enough the name Fairfax

And, by the same token, it will
. be noted that most of those who
have attained the worthwhile
successes there, are country born
and bred and mainly from the
South.
The gross ignorance that gen.
orally exists as to other parts OF
the United States is appalling;
but in recent years this self com

Indifference of the country at
