WASHINGTON.

The contest on the greatest man,
or greatest hero that Virginia has
product, is one of the most difficult
matters have had TO decide for n
long time. From the simple fact that
Virginia has produced so many great
men of wOrld-rcnown reputation Of
va rious types. namely soldiers. States
men. authors, lawyers, doctors. and
many other callineS. Therefore, il has
been hard for me 10 decide which was
the greatest, hero or most illustrious
man amongst so many noble Nir-
ginians whose fame is world wide.
and II matter OF history for their
names will go down for ages to come.
as some Of the greatest men that any
time. or any country has produced.
Therefore think | have ma de no
mistake in selecting General George
Washington" as Virginia's greatest
man and hero. for he was the most
versatile and accomplished OF them
all
He lived to he CO years old. He had
more influence over the history of
the United States. and particularly
Virginia than any other who ever
lived in il. | think u great deal OF
the honor that George Washington
gained was due TO the teachings OF
his parents. George was very fond
of outdoor sports of all kinds re-
curing strength and skill, it is said
he threw q stone across the Rap
pahannock River at Fredericksburg
He was also very fond OF military
games. and at school he always led
the Americans against the French.
When George was II. he wanted to
be a sailor, so he got an appointment
as midshipman In the English
navy. He had on his fine new uni
form. of which he was very proud.
and when he went to say good bye
to his mother. she covered her face
with her hands and burst into tears.
George said Mt once he would not go,
as IL distressed her too much so he
took off his uniform and resigned his
commission and stayed nj home to
take care of his mother. If he had
not loved her so, it is possible he
would not have fought the battles OF
the American Revolution. and been
the father of his country, so he went
back to school and studied hard un-
til he was l6 years old. Mount
Vernon. which afterwards became
Washingtons home, came to him
through his older brother. Lawrence
Wn shington.
George was Just Is whom he met

colt When they came to breakfast
George said: Mother. your colt is
dead. killed him" "Dead?" said
Mrs. Washington. how can that be?
he was not the least bit sick this
morning" George told his mother an
ABOUT what had happened. Mrs.
Washington was sorry to lose her
colt: but she was glad to have her
son tell the truth
George soon wanted to go to sea:
he had his clothes packed and when
he went 10 tell his mother good-by
ne found her in tears. George. my
oear boy, l don't see how | can part
with you. II was more than I could
pare to lose your dear father" said
ms mother. Well dear mother" said
George. II will stay with YOU" Sc
he unpacked his clothes and settled
down at home once more.
George had brother whose name
was Lawrence. He married a rich
Engiishman's daughter who owned
many thousand acres of land. Now
when he heard that George had no
work to do he let him go In a
business of surveying for him. Soon
george and one friend sat out for
their journey along the Ohio. At
last they reached the journeys end
after wading through water and
climbing mountains. Here they found
the French and English in n fuss.
All the land west of the noun
talns belongs to u.s." said the French.
NO. all the land from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific belongs to u.s." was
the reply Of the English. So thus the
FUSS begun and ended. Finally tho
Governor of Virginia decided to send
letter to the French on the distant
frontier to tell them that the land
belonged to the English. But who
was to carry It to them through
bushes and over mountains? Young
George Washington is the man 10
do it," said the Governor. So George
went with one friend. Gist, some
hunters and an Indian guide. He had
nearly hve hundred. They soon came
TO a place where they met an Indian.
iist wanted to kill the Indian, but
George would not let him do SO. So
they went on.
With many hardships and perilse
George reached there and back to
Virginia. He was not just plain
George than but "Colonel George
He was strong as an hickory pole
and straight as an arrow
The Governor soon made ready for
war. Colonel Washington was sent
with small troop to build fort
along the Ohio. This he did near
where the place of Ptsburg now
sta nds. When he got there he said
to his men, There will be a great
city here some day"
The enemies now began to give
them trouble. They had many SOL
diers while George had only few
Now bitter war begun, which lasted
nine years. and was known as the
French and Indian war
AT last peace came and George was
the hero of the state. He was soon
married to Martha Custis They went
TO live Mt Mount Vernon. for the
whole estate belonged to him as his
brother had died years before, and
George now was heir OF the beauti-
tul place. He was then known as the
richest nun in the State. He died,
In the month OF December. year Oh
1879. and was buried in the beloved
graveyard at Mount Vernon, which
held SO many of his people.

all of IL they could u. this time. So
Washington rose to the occasion, and
as there were few papers published In
those days, he made an appeal to
the army for Union OF states and the
crying need of better government: he
also wrote letters to the Governors
formed and most influential men
throughout the country In these
letters he went more into detail, tell
ing them to elect men to Congress
who would uphold the Federal gov
eminent: In other words, Washington
was trying to build Il Fcderalist
party. He succeeded. and after four
months ranging, on September Il.
1857, Washington affixed his sigma
ture TO the Constitution OF the United
states. but without Washington's in
t'ucnce and labor il is More than prob
able il would have failed.
After all this hard work he tried
again to retire to private life. but the
people of the whole country turned to
him and demanded that he should
stand 1T the head of the government.
BY filling the great office of first
President of the Republic, Washing
ton declined and said at his age II
would be a sacrifice. which admitted
OF no compensation. But the people
would not take NO" for an answer.
so as he had put his hand to the
plow he would not turn back. When
the hour came he was ready. The
elections were favorable to the Fed
eralists. The F:lectral College gave
Washington their unanimous vote.
April 16 Congress notified him of his
election. Now he stood at the head
nf h, ITninn in ire ~
for life. and he fought such good
fight that he served two terms. and
they wanted him for II third. but he
would not accept. y few years after
retiring to his home at Noun,

world. France passed resolution on

Of grief not withstanding Washing

No man of any country, or any time,
performed SNch herculcan TASK as
Washington. for he was at war with
England for eight years. and she was
at that time the greatest nation in
the world by land or sea. The popu-
lation OF America nj that tim. was
scarcely 100000. Washington lin Il

LIFE OF WARRINGTON.

They helped him and soon George
