WIFE OF HENRY CLAY
BORN IN THIS COUNTY
History of "Longmeadows"
Built by Colonel Cresap
Of Much Interest

One of the important and interesting
historical places in this section is Long
meadows" the ]. Forney Young farm,
on the Marsh Pike, a short distance
north of Hagerstown.
This farm, originally part of a very
large tract of land, which subsequently
became divided into various portions,
was for some time one of the principal
plantations in this part of the county.
Part of the Young home which was
used as a fort when first built, still
stands. This was the birthplace of Luz
cretia Hart, who afterwards became the
wife of Henry Clay, noted statesman of
his day.
The farm takes the reader back into
the early colonial days of our country.
Colonel Thomas Cresap, an Englishman,
received patent from Lord Baltimore,
of Maryland, which was the first tract
in Leitersburg district secured by orig
inal patent. Cresap resided at Long
meadows from 1888 to 1741 and erected
the stone building, some of which re-
mains as part of the Young home, is
a very interesting historical object The
house was twice enlarged by him.
Daniel Dulany, who had acquired the
plantation sold it to Col. Henry Bouquet,
a native of Switzerland, and a British
officer in the French and Indian War.
Colonel Bouquet sold it to Colonel Fred
erick Haldimand, compatrioit of BOu-
quet. He in turn sold it to Joseph
Sprigg, of Prince Georges county. In
1889, Sprigg sold it to Thomas Hart,
who moved to Hagerstown in 1880 from
Hillsboro, N. G. Col. Hart and Ma
thaniel Rochester, founder of the Hagers-
town Bank, and later founder of the
City of Rochester, N. Y, were engaged
in the mercantile business here. Col.
Hart moved to Kentucky in 1894. Lucre-
tia Hart, his daughter, who married
Henry Clay, was born at Longmeadows.
Thomas B. Hall later owned $40 acres
of the Longmeadows tract, which sub
sequently were parts of the farms of
William s. Young and Abraham Leh-
man. Hall at that time was employed
in the Internal Revenue Service as col
lector of taxes. The story goes he had

Improvements Have Been
Made to Buildings In
City and County

The public schools of Hagerstown
and Washington County will open on
Tuesday, September s, and it is pre-
dicted a record number of pupils will
be enrolled
In the rural Sections preparations
are being made to receive an increased
number of students. This number will
in all probability be increased within
the next few weeks due to the fact
that quite a anumber of students will
remain at home in order to assist in
farm work.
1t has been the rule in years past
for each succeeding year to exceed the
former year in attendance, both at the
opening and later in the Fall.
The following are the figures for the
opening of school last year, as furnished
by the office of School Superintendent B.

UNIT MAKES REFUND
$4,000 in Pay Roll Assessments
Enormously Made to Be
Returned.

The District Unemployment Com.

fund pay roll assessments erroneously
made on a variety of employers who
have been declared exempt from pay
roll assessments under the jobless in
surance act.
John A. Marshall, director. was in.
structed to make the necessary ar
rangements at the Treasury. He esti-
mated roughly the refunds would
amount to $4,000. Up to this month
the board had collected from employ.
ers IN the per cent levy on pay rolls
some sS50,000, in addition to payment
by the District government of $1OO, 900.
Among firms which have been de-
clared exempt are the District banks,
the Pan-American Union, Smithsonian
Institution. Salvation Army and the
several universities.
The board today also decided not to
appoint counsel "for the time being" 4"
but to continue to make use of the
legal services of the office of the Dis
trict corporation counsel. The board
has an ALLEGATION of $4,000 for the
salary for its own attorney, when it
decides one is needed.
