rights. Henceforth he was sole own
been in the family since it's acquisi-
ton by grant in 1910, and which re-
manned in the family until sold in
1858 by John Augustine Washington
to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter-
esting light on the early history of
Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr.
Callahan after constant study of the
old official records of the courts and
vestry books of the counties in this
part of Virginia. They establish be-
You'd all doubt the truth which is that
the central part of the Mount Vernon
mansion was built by General Wash
ington's father, that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when a
baby, and that his father built what
is now the most conspicuous landmark
on the place-the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
to witness the interesting work of re-
roofing Washington's old home, the
historic mansion wherein he died. 1t
is learned that this is the fourth time
the roof has been shingled, the other
dates being 1912, 1855 and 1860 In
each instance the material selected and
used was the best cypress shingles.
A short historical review of the CON
struction and alteration of this old
dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
information on the subject. The cen
trail portion of the present building was
erected in 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
Washington, who named it the Mount
Vernon villa" out of respect for Ad-
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving
in South America. This modest cot
tage, or villa, consisted of four rooms
on the ground floor, with bedrooms
and an unfinished attic above.
At the death of Lawrence Washing
ton, 1852, the property fell to the own
ership of his half-brother, George, who.
in 1775, added to the attractiveness of
the interior by paneling the hall and
ha ing the ceilings of the parlor and
dining room decorated in stucco.
After the revolution Washington's in
creased fame attracted to Mount Yer
non such horde of guests it was
found Il difficult problem to entertain
them comfortably in the limited num-
Der of rooms at his diSDoSal
At first General Washington thought
of tearing down the old building and
erecting more pretentious dwelling
of suitable proportions to meet the re-
quirements, but he finally decided to
enlarge the cottage.

To us it looks as though the
trade of the country is so scat
tered that the town which puts
forth the most effort in that di-
rection this spring will eventual
ly succeed in landing far more
than her legitimate share of bus
mess. At present, while time
hangs on the hadds of the aver
age man, he takes time to look
around, and then spends his
money where it will go the far
thest, and to us it seems that the
merchants who offers him good
values for his money, will even
tually reap golden rewards in
the way of his future trade. This
fact we would impress upon the
minds of the people and we
would also ask them to aid us in
establishing the fact that in our
town in this section. If we once
get this fact Established, our
town will soon be handling far
more trade than rightfully be-
longs to her. Let us join hands
and make this so.
