reached at 11:o0 o'clock, where a half
hour was spent. Here is located the
old courthouse built in 1900. which oc-
cupies commanding position on the
main thoroughfares, at the terminus of
the electric line. Adjoining the old
structure is the recorders and treas
urer's Office for the county. In the
latter's office is the original will of
George Washington, inclosed in glass
case on the wall. where it never fails
to interest the visitor to this section
of the Old Dominion. In front of the
old courthouse is stone monument
erected to the memory of Capt John
Quincy of the Warrenton Rifles. who
fell on June /. 1861, in the first con-
flict between the armed forces of the
north and south. being the first soldier
to fail on either side in battle.
Beyond Fairfax Court House.
From Fairfax Court House the trip
was continued straight on through the
town in the direction of Fairfax sta
tiou. After leaving the historic viii
lage we encountered the first rough
stretch of roadway The road. which
is of the ordinary country type, wends
it's way through farming section,
and in places gave evidence of being a
wornout pike 1t was this stretch be
tween Fairfax Court House and Occo-
duan that was virgin territory so far
as the writer was concerned. the other
portions of the route having been COW
cred previously. The road extends di
rectly to Fairfax station, or SwetDam
Post Office. as the village is now
known by residents in that section OF
the state The small, one-story frame
post office building is located on the
left side of the road. The mileage to
this point measured 24.7 miles from
Washington.
Bearing to the left we made steep
descent over a rather rough stretch Of
road and crossed a small iron bridge On
the opposite side of the bridge a long
grade was encountered. the road being of
the corduroy variety and possibly very
welcome in wet weather. On the brow of
the hill we passed good sized school
telegraph poles which came onto the main
road from the left at 26.3 miles out. The
road to the left at this point leads to
Sideburn and Burke station. After pro-
ceeding about mile from this point
turned to the left. being the second left
turn after crossing the bridge on the out
skirts OF SWetnam Post Office.
The wires at this turn continue straight
ahead and would lead to believe this

clay road which would prove rather hard
going In wet weather. Two large mud
holes were encountered, covering the
width Of the road. but as they did not
present very vicious-looking appearance
We plunged straight through, never once
hesitating. Just a few moments before
a light roadster came through without any
trouble. although the owner did not look
over-enthusastic about getting past the
muddy stretch. There was nothing to it,
however, so our journey was continued
without interruption.
1t would appear, however. that there
might be some way in which the neck
