radiance of mingled color, the hyth-

GEORGE WASHINGTON

Next Thursday, Feb. 22d, is Wash
ington's birthday, a day that is dear
to the people of America. Through
out the country the occasion will be
observed. This year there is greater
stress laid upon this day on account of
the disturbed relations with Germany
and the great war raging abroad
The Washington family has been
known in this country for over
hundred years before the declaration
Of independence.
The first Washington to land in the
new world was Col. John Washington,
who came from near Beverly, Eng
land, in 1857. This was only about
so years later than the jamestown set
tlement. This Colonel Washington,
who was a man of great influence in
the infant colony, was the great
grandfather of General Washington,
and the first owner of the tract now
known as Mount Vernon. He brought
over with him a hundred immigrants
and he, with his partner, Nicholas
Spencer, received from Thomas Lord
Culpeper a grant of 5000 acres of land
situated on the Potomac between Ep-
sewasson and Little Hunting creek.
Col John Washington left $500
acres of this tract-that part including
miles from the mansion house of to-
day is the site of an old mill, known
to have been built by this same Angus
tine Washington. That mill was on
the banks of the Epsewasson creek.
The walls, which were laid in lime
stone, began to crumble back in the
sixties and the farmers in the vicinity
hauled away some of the stone.
This mill was in actual use for so
years by General Washington, and so
superior was the quality of the flour
he ground that it was admitted to
English markets without inspection.
The huge brick barn covered with
ivy one sees at Mount Vernon today
was built by Augustine Washington
also. Here baby George no doubt
rode on the back of the plow horses
and climbed into the farm wagons
just as country boys do today. But
in 1888 fire destroyed the house and
Augustine moved down to another
plantation of his near Fredericksburg,
Va. This place was known as Pine
Grove.
