Rappahannock breeders sold 431 feeder calves for a total of $58,009.76, or an average of $29.75 per, hundred. Top price received for a single calf 'was 50e per pound paid by -Hugh Atkins of Sperryville for a fancy calf weighing 470 pounds and produced by John S. Buckner. There were four other calves grading fancy, Of which three v were produced by James W. -tfc* other came from the farm.. of John S. Buckner. ' ^ Newbill Miller, 4-H member and son of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Miller of Washington, purchased one of these'calves to put on feed as a club project while Henry Balmer of Pennsylvania was the high bidder of the other three; Top price' for a single pen of calves was $33.25, per hundred for 24 head/rf good steer calves averaging 421 pounds each which went to New Jersey. While many of the calves went to New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York, the largest buyer in number of head purchased was Mac Claggett, a Virginian, * who purchased 75 head. Another sale> characteristic of. which the consignors are proud - is that each year a number of ^ heifer Calves return to Rappahan- • nock .for the purpose of establishing new commercial herds or to serve as replacements in herds already established. V 's At the conclusion of the feed- \ . er calf s^Je 23 yearlings were auctioned and brought an ive-... erage of $23.95 per cwt. While ; the quality of these animals was far beloit .that of those offered in the regular calf sale, total re- i ceipts amounted to $3,279.32.

Compton, Washington resident, “because ‘Rappahannock News’ was printed, in tibis same building that year—and here it is again.” With the aid of County Clerk Jamea X, -Settle, Mr... Compton has located the riffaei > papers published in Rappahanndbk county; Rappahannock News id 1877; The (Blue Ridge Echo in 1878;. The Call; , and The Blue' Ridge Guide, 1886-1936. "The Rappahannock News” was published by J. R. Grove of Lonaconing, Md., for, the duration of a year. Mr. Grove went to Warrenton where he busied himself in a political campaign at the time Eppa Hunton was a candidate for Congress. Grove continued his career in the government printing office. His brotherin- law, William Powell, was the first “printer’s devil” in*Rappa-‘ hannock county, according to Mr, Compton. 4 “The Blue Ridge Echo” was published by the late Judge W. W. Moffett, father of Mrs. J. Frank Jones, and Comrrfonwealthfa Attorney H. G. Moffett, whose • Mojfett, The vtwo newspapermen -were known by the firm name of-‘‘The Moffett Cousins.” Their publication had a duration of about four years. The exact dates and identity of ‘‘The Call” have not been located. County Clerk J. M. Settle found a record of some legal proceedings published in “The Call,” and a belief has been expressed that perhaps this paper was printed outside the county and .brought irt after printing. “The Blue Ridge Guide” had two publishers. Its original" one was the late W. B. Settle, brother of the late Judge George W. (See PRINTER SEES, page 5.).

For an expenditure of $1800 per year, Rappaannock county could receive the benefit of a health unit wMch actually costa the state approximately J$10,000. Isn't it true tat to refuse to appropriate the $1800 is to refuse to take ' the henefilt of whist is rightfully ours? Our tax money that we pay to the state of Virginia is being used to support health, units in other counties. Aren't we being “penny wise and pound foolish” not to take the required Step to.obtain our<fair* share of the program, that our money eupports? As of March, 1049, there Wfje ' 70 counties in Virginia and nine cities representing over 85% of the state’s population, which had their own local health services. Of the 30 remaining counties, 13 have made the * required appropriation and are waiting for health personnel to become available. Since March, 1949, four other counties" are reported, to have made the prerequisite appropriation to obtain health units. This leaves only 13 counties in the whole Commonwealth not participating in this program. . -. —Health and human lives cannot be evaluated. Monetary figures do not properly and adequately express the worth of lessening1 pain and suffering or of lessening, the danger of disease. Naturally none of us wants to have ocr taxes raised. But • which one of* us wouldn’t be willing to pay for saving one of our children’s lives? We pay for insurance on our homes, barns, automobiles, and even our livestock. Why shouldn't; we p a y for insurance on o a r health? An active health department in Rappahannock c o'u nty would be one of the best types of health insurance available. For its money Rappahannock county would obtain the services of one health officer, one nurse, one sanitation offcer, and one clerk. The health officer, a licensed physician, is in charge of the entire program and has various duties including consulting with local physicians and working with them. He distributes to the local doctors the serums and other med-" icines provided by the state for the immunization of comm nicahle diseases *nd helps establish methods to prevent their spreading. He holds clinics, plans school health programs with school authorities and assists with any local or county health problem. Briefly, the health officer is a community physician, if the community as a whole can be considered a patient. Each county has the services of a public health nurse. Her Show Start* kt 7tf5 P. M.

For Rappahannock to procure benefit of this entire health program and the services of the four personnel listed, the Board of Supervisors must first appropriate its share or about one-fifth of the total amount necessary for the establishment and maintenance of the program. Then upon request of the Board of Supervisors the State Health Department would allocate the' remaining fojr-fifths and set up our local health department as soon as personnel becomes available “if the people of Rappahannock county want a local health department, they should jjg. advise the Board of SupsrvSors.

Below is an article jwhich appeared in the Chicago tribune, smd is Of interest to the antique saucier. Early Un of Mahogany During the 18th century mahogany became widely used in England and in the colonies, later in the United State's. It built, tor ftaelf a splendid reputation as *ah —Jdaal cabinet jfenod,- Ail the end •I the century, Thomas Sheraton wrote, “Other woods, formerly sued for cabinet work, are quite, laid by since , the1 introduction of , Mahogany.** « ' . Thia was not literally true as.. mahogany at that time was a Inxnry wood and was Used only far furniture that w e n t to the titled, or. the wealthy who slavishly aped the titled gentry. The common man of that day did not tare mahogany furniture. His ' crude furniture was made of the wood nearest at hand and avail'Okie at th'e least cost. x i It was during tbs “Golden’ Age” of furniture, from 1725 to 1825, that mahogany became' recognized as the outstanding ^ cabinet wood of the Englishspeaking and Spanish-speaking world. Confusion Evan Then Even in those days, there was some ‘ confusion as to what was surd What was not mahogany. In fact, the earliest use of mahogany x in England, of which we "have” definite record wls in the construction Of ^Nottingham Castle in *. I6S0. • But at this early date there was no distinction between cedar (Spanish cedar) and mahogany, «a the reference is to cedar. This . particular cedar, however, was wery heavy and hard, so the condnsion is that it must have been western Indian mahogany. As. the reputation of the nia Baker Named Director , Of Front Royal Station A. L. Baker, formerly superintendent of the U. S. beef cattle breeding station in Alabama, has., been named director of the beef center at Front Royal. * Announcement was made by , Virginia...

By the alow process of trial and error cabinet makerslearned to distinguish genuine mahogany, and substitutes became known by their true names. Discovered ia America In the meantime mahogany had been discovered on the American' ^mainland, and according to Sheraton (1790), Honduras mahogany was the kind generally used, having largely replaced - the Spanish _<West Indian) mahogany used in the days of Chippendale. Long after American .mahogany had become well established in the British Isles and in North America, it was' found on the west coast of Africa. It was , •described in 1789 -by «* French botanist and named Swie tenia senegalensia. In 1830 another French botanist, Jussieu, proposed the name Khaya for African mahogany. It did not become an important wood of commerce until the first quarter of the 19th century and its principal exploitation^ has been* during the present century. ‘ / sihrer beauty that outlasts a lifetime, «jret is moderately priced-* that is what 4 joo get in distinctive Towle Sterling.

Extension Service specialists on the ft-se of Wood to get the belt possible service from paint. They explained that since paint is more likely to loosen and fall on the south side of a building: than on the north, it is advisable to use on the north side boards which show the Widest spacing of summerwood, and to put boards with better paint-holding qualities on the south side. They said that each annual growth ring in softwoods includes summerwood and springwood. In planed lumber the graip. is revealed as light-colored zones of Spring-Wood and dark tones of summerwood. When painrt becomes old and brittle, it tends to come loose from the firmer, smoother summerwood, but clings more firmly to the springwood. Thus the reason for using boards with narrower bands of summerwood on sunny exterior south -walls. .Note* 'For ' fa c 1 *" iomemakers Mixing honjejrendered lardwith vegetable shortening will make the lard keep fresh and sweet twice as long, says Miss Janet Cameron, extension service nutritionist at V.P.L She-reports that farm families who used this simple, effective means of preserving lard during the last two seasons found it highly -satisfactory. With hogbutchering time just around the corner, she is recommending the method again. ..Only two or three pounds of the Usual hydrogenated vegetable shortening are needed for each 50 pounds of lard. Add the shortening to thty rendered lard in the kettle, }v0t before settling and separating the cracklings. Another method is to mix the shortening with melted lard in the storage containers. In tllis case the short-' ening -should be stirred carefully until entirely melted and mixed thoroughly with the lard. Miss Cameron emphasizes that hydrogenated ' (hardened) Vegetable shortening should be used.

PUt Do You Know vV"- *: By Lola Cockey, Field Represent-, stive, Alexandria Social Security Office f . Modt everyone thinks of eocial security u a retirement plan for ' those who are 65 or over. Actually the program benefits many other1 fTotrpa. evpeeielly children, Yog may be skeptical as wax an em* ployee of a email Rappahannock county concern with whom I talked several weeks ago who mid; “How will social security help my ' children?” I’ll tell you as I told a him. That account number card you carry with you amounts to ‘ much more than just your name and a long number. It represents an insurance policy on which you make payments every time your • employer hands you a pay check. You have probably asked yourself .a dozen times, “If something happened to me, how would my ‘ family get along? Blow far could my wife stretch the monthly pay? ment from my life insurance?** Here is an actujd case where eocial aecurity benefits are a great ' help to a small family. I wont use the real names. Mrs. Stevens told am that her hnaband had died, Isirvifig ihree' small children. After talking with her awhile, I realised that I had seen her husband often on trips to that section of my area. He was an attendant at a gas station where I stopped regularly for service and for directions to various parts of the county. I helped Mrs. Stevens complete an application for social security benefits for herself and the,, three children. I could not tell her at the time how much she would receive, but assured her that there „ would be monthly payments. After > securing a record of her husband’s earnings from our centra] office in Baltimore, I wrote her that she would get $50 a month for her’• oelf and children. Later I saw her. She said thalt when she,first talked with me, she had no idea how she was going to get along on the email monthly payments from the insurance policy her husband carried; but with the $50 from oldage and survivors insurance, she could get by if she budgeted carefully. This is only one of the many cases of this kind handled each week by the Alexandria Social Security office and othersrihrough, w* the country. Your government provides this’ method! for wage ,*** earners to build .protection for themggfves and their families.

October 31 — November 5 1950 Census to Tell Of The Bureau of the Census ■will hold the mirror up to the nation and ite prorresa next spring when it conducts the 17th Decennial Census. A variety of internetting and important facte twill he collected —concerning the population and the • economy, all testifying to the Action’s remarkable growth and expansion. But of even deeper significance in view of the trend of the times, the Census will provide fresh evidence of the dynamics of a free and democratic society, and will thus represent a tribhte to what the American people have accomplished by selfreliance, enterprise, hard work and thrift. The official starting da.te.for the count is April 1, but it willVctually get underway earlier in remote regions, like Eskimos in Alaska so that those who live in ' their villages above the Arctic Circle, tan be reached before the spring thaw. The overall coet is estimated at about -millions, over double the cost of the 1940 census. Much of this increase is due to the rise in the price level wre**r. ..._-,ry_. Back in 1700, when the first census was taken, the job was done by 17 U. S. marshals and 000 assistants. At that time the infant Republic, which had won its freedom from Britain less than a decade before, consisted of only 16 states and two thinly-settled regions, the Northwest and Southwest Territories. Florida and the whole area west of the Missis-" sippi -River were “foreign” country. The total population was less than 4 million, of whom about 700,000 were listed as slaves. The economy was predominately rural This time the census Job will require 150,000 persons ta ring . door-bells and gather the facts •lone, a number 8% times the' dise of America’s biggest city 100 years ago, Philadelphia, then the nation’s capital as well. The population is expected to number about 150-millions, nearly 40 times the 1790 total. Our society has become primarily urban and industrial, and in all fundamental 'respects such is national wealth, productive power, living standards, and average individual wellbeing, the United States has run far ahead of its contemporary nations of the late 19th century. , The first census asked five simple population questions. This time there will be ebout 60 questions, plus some 200 additional questions concerning agriculture. In reality, there will be three eeaBuses next year—population, agriculture and housing. Changes in the census and their scope over the years give a picture of how the nation has grown. Tfao first two censuses' were limJted to the population alone. In 1810 the first census ofmanufacturee was taken, indicating its increasing importance. Thirty years later, in 1640, came the initial census of agriculture. In 1029 the fir^ census of business was taken to survey the nation’s system of distribution, and the year 1940 saw he first census of housing. Furthermore,* a decennial census of religious . bodies was Started in 1900. Thus six complete censuses are conducted every decade, with' those of manufactures and agap** culture conducted at more frequent periods. ★ The *r«»t *56,000 Star diamoad weighed MM caret*.

Settle and uncle of James M. Set* Ale of Flint Hill Editor Settle had just returned to the county from out west where he had been .practicing law in Montana when Jbe started a county paper known as The Blue Ridge Guide in 18 90. This he published until his death. , George Edward Cary, who was a printer for Mr. Settle, assumed continuation of the publication of The Guide after-the owner’s death. In 1889 he acquired ownership and published the paper for more —than 47 years, until he was compelled by poor health to retire. An article written by Attorney F. C. Baggarly and published in The Virginia Star at&the time of George Cary’s death, attested to the respect and affection felt by Rappalhannock citizens for Editor Cary. - W. E. Compton states that he and Cary went to school together at The Academy'and Judge Mo£‘ Jett was their teacher. They served 'their apprenticeship together with The Echo. Mr. Compton. after serving as A “printer’s devil”, beginning at-, the age of 12, left Rappahannock to continue his newspaper career elsewhere^ He was located in Cumberland, Md,,' Philadelphia, Trenton, N. J.,- and New York. . Jn 1886 he set type on the ‘‘Congressional Record” for one term of Congress. He located.in Newsutk, N. J., in 1887, where he worked for various newspapers as m printer. After the first linotype came into use, he was an operator until his retirement in 1936. At that time he returned home snd served for 15 years as mayor of the town of Washington, 1933 to 1945. Mr. Compton graciously con_seated to read proof on this first ' issue of Rappahannock News. H? has been a daily visitor at the newspaper office since its opening and is greatly interested in * all its undertakings and enterprises, living over again the days of his successful printing career. y EVERY VOTER (Continued from page 1.) V fr.f&i', abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting in elections has . recently been keenly discussed though little understood by the - | electorate^,* The Congress of the United Suites has, for years had before it * the question as to , whc jher or not the poll tax Should' be abolished in so far as Federal elections .were concerned and it ' appears imminent that such an act prohibiting the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting will be made a law by Congress. If such a law Js enacted, the, result would be that where a local matter' such as the election of . a member of the State Senate or Hovse of Delegates to fill the unexpired term arose at , the same time that the voters were called ' upon to elect a member of Congress, it would be necessary to have two separate ballots and two .separate groups of voterB, unless - * the Virginia poll tax *as a pre- ; requisite to voting is abolished, f -Thb .Constitution of Virgina requires the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting in Virginia and the question cannot be considered by the General Assembly unless* the voters of Virginia have first enacted an amendment? authorising the elimination of the poll tax as a prerequisite to The Campbell Commission, a by-partizan group consisting of distinguished members including ? Dr. Charles Smith of Roanoke college and Judge. John Paul of Harrisonburg appointed to study . the abolition of the poll tax in. Virginia, recommended Certain changes in the Constitution. The chief cause of a misunderstanding of the' amendment seems to be , that a number of persons have the mistaken belief .that annual registration is necessary. Such was not the proposal by the group but they suggested that registration should be renewed annually, which could be accomplished by any one of three ways: 1. By the act of voting in the preceding election. 42. By the payment of .personal property taxes in the preceding year, or 3. By applying to the Registration Board in writing for a renewal of registration. The commission suggested that any one of the- three steps could constitute annual renewal, of registration and suggested that fete entire matterlbe left to the ^General Assembly for the disposal of details. J . *. Unless the Virginia poll tax is repealed, the Virginia elections will be in a great state of confusion if a local matter need be considered at the same-time as a Federal election. If the amendment is not passed, another amendment-must be passed by the General Assembly during "two separate sessions and then submitted to the electorate for approval. There^-ir a nelief that due to some mistakeiy rum oh a large number oKJhe voters have been advised that it' will be necessary each year to go to the county seat And register. Such is not the case, as was recently set forth by Judge Paul in several newspaper articles written by him. The Rappahannock county Candida teforthe Culpeper-Soil Conservation District, F. Downing Wood, of Washington, has long been interested in matters pertaining to soil conservation and is a progressive farmer of the county. He will make an able representative of the board.

B. Bridgforth, state chairman of the Production Marketing Administration. This rate will give farmers 90 per cent •of the parity price of corn on October 1, as compared with a basic rate of |1.61 a bushel in effect for the state last year. Virginia’s support level on corn is substantially above the national average 1949 rate of $1.40 per bushel. The state PMA committee has adopted purchase agreement plan similar to that used last year. Loans are also being offered on fun stored corn. According to Bridgforth, there is pracicaUy no1 approved commercial storage available in Virginia to house this year’s corn crop. He repeated a warning, given by the state PMA committee for the past several months, that farmors must arrange suitable on-farm storage ^ 'they want the benefits of the government price support program. Under a farm storage loan program, stor~**4 structures are Object to approval by county PMA committees and periodic re-inspection when holding corn under loan. No such apporval or inspection is required under'a purchase agreement plan, but the corn mast meet conditions of eigibility when delivered to be acceptable. * 'Th following terms of eligibility for price support apply to 1949 corn delivered under purchase agreements: „*■ (a) Corn must be offered only by the producer, and not by a dealer or broker. (b) The grade must be U. S. „ No. 3, or better, or No. 4, solely on the factor of test weight, but otherwise No. 3 or better. " <c) Corn must-be shelled.

SHINER’S | DRUG STORE Front Royal, Virginia, ► * ■ Ginb with Each Year Figures compiled -toy the U.Department of Commerce on where the people’s money comes' from and tvbWe It goes Show that the aggregate cost of government in the United States—federal, state, and local-—has become the rival of food as the biggest single charge on the public’s purse. Clothing and shelter have been left far behind. Such relationships have few peacetime precedents, aiid then only since the war and in the defiicit financing period of the '30s. They therefore provide clear insight into the impact of the rising cost of government, and the consequent burden of taxation to support it, on the people and on vne economy at large, i Department of Commerce figures give the aggregate value of all*food expenditures , in It 48 as >52,9-billions. The total cosit of federal, state and local government last year eras 851.8-billions ■ Thus for every dollar spent on food in the nation in 1848 the cost of government was 88 cents. ■ In 1847 government cost the people 90 cents for every dollar of fpod expenditure. From 1848 ... on .back .through . 1840 the tala- v tionships were distorted for com- , paratve purposes by the cost of the war and, its accompanying enormous increase in federal expenditures. «. Relationships approximating those of the last two years between the overall cost of government and aggregate food expenditures «e in marked contrast with those that prevailed in previous periods of peacetime prosperity. In 1929, for example, the aggregate value of all- food expenditures. in the nation was $19.7-billons. Federal, state, and local expenditures in that year added up to 110.2-billions. Thus for every dollar spent on food in the nation in 1929 the overall cost of government was only 52 cents, a ratio little more than half that of last year. • With respect tn otffer major items of personal expenditures, Department of Commerce figures show that th coverall cost of government in 1948 was the equivalent of— More than three times the year’s expenditures on housing; Over double the cost of household operation for the year, and that include^ everything in running a home; :» jVfore than twice the amount spent on clothing, accessories and jewelry combined; Three times hte cos of all transportation ^outlay including automobile purchases arid their operation. Except for transportation, the, people spent^pore on each of the above classifications in 1929 than they did on government.

Orchards Ulseleaa For • Curculio Control Peach growers now can skip their orchards in the winter to get rid of adult beetles of the trouble, some plum curculio, says M. L. Bobb, en'omologist at the Pied, mont Field Laboratory at Charlottesville. The beetles,-_responsible for heavy losses to peach grpwers, spend the winter in the ground, pot merely under trash and rubbish near the orchard as hereto-, fore believed. The beetles leave the ground only when the soil temperature at three inches has reached 60 degrees F. In red clay soil they usually are found in the second c-r third inch layer of soil; but in rand soil they are occasionally found more than six inches deep. In another phase of their work, Bobb studied 'Sprays for the control of adult beetles and larvae in the fr it. He reports that benzene hexachloride (BHC1, chlor. dane, and pprathion-give excellent - kill of adult beetles and also kilt most, of the young larvae. BHC is recommended in early sprays, but cannot be lised f after the chuck-fall because • of the offflavor it gives to the fruit. Chlordane is too expensive .for general use, but is recommended for .very heavy infestations. He believes that thousands of dollars have been lost annually because of plum cuvculio injury now will be saved by the use of the new insecticides. the job of* burning rubbish in Rappahannock Garden i Club Meeting Mrs,' 9.

Mu. Dolly Hite’* Book Rappahannock History Among the new books soon to , be published by The Diets Press of ijchiriond is one by * wellknown and beloved resident of this locality. The forthcoming volume is aptly titled ‘‘My Rappa• bannock o.ory Book” and its au- toor is Miss Mary Elizabeth Hite. The publishers anti ounce that Miss Hite’s book will contain ‘ many stories, anecdotes, romances, and other pertinent material of genuine interest to those "of and around Rappahannock county, but also of las ing value generally in* the field of, history and research. “My Rappahannock Story Book" is the romance of people of diffeient nationalities who founded and settled this county several centuries ago—and who, incidentally, male of it a great place in which to live The authors tells stories of the cavaliers from Tidewater who came to this county; of Francis ThSrnton who built for his son& “Montpelier” and lovely “Thornton Hill; Henry Mil■ ler, the Prussian officer who after '. bening persecuted in his homeiand came here tVlind his ‘‘haven of rest.” *.•..... l'.ien, there. are the accounts of the Gordons, noble Scottish clansman, who found the scenery here comparable to those of*their bjeloved highlands; at ‘‘Wakefield Manor” when the Duchess of Windsor Wallis Warfield of Baltimore often visited her cousin, Mrs.’Basil Gordon. Also, te accounts of “Montpelier” in the F. T. Valley where lived Caroline Homassel, wife of Dr. Philip Thornton. In her diary, which Miss, Hite is reprinting, she tells of hrer grandfather escaping from the Bastille, of her love for Alfred Madison, nephew of the President, and the dramatic "account of the burning of the old Richmond Theatre in 1-811 and the sa\ing of her life by Dr. Thornton whom she afterwards married. , i1 . ' Miss Hite’s book is divided into* three parts. The first part is a valuable collection of pictures f old homes whose architecture is as varied as those * Who dwelt within them and who have added j the “character lustre” to an historical book of this type. With each picture, however, is. the story of the home. The second part of the volume tells of old churches and theirministers. This wiil make a valuable addition to future religious Virginiana. The third part of' the forthcoming volume is made up of miscellaneous stories — stories tfhat will soon be preserved in Always a TSmT—• .f;~ | A letter from Washington, D. C., early in September contained a check with the request that the writer, F. C. Beggarly, be the first subscriber to Rappahannock’s new paper. Hie didn’t even know the name of the paper—which, in truth, had no name at tfcat time—and he mad<e some , excellent suggestions. ’ The - first subscription in the co.nty came from D. D. Miller, on October 8, the day of the Rappahannock County Fair. When asked to sign up to receive the first copies free, he just handed in his money for a subscription. • The first subscriber outside the county was from a Rappahannock lady now living in Culpeper, Mrs. Will A- Corbin, who sent the subscription by Miss Annie Guard. The ffr^ job of printing done by Rappahannock, News was brought in by L. R. Hudson, of Slkte Mills. . James Dade of Washington got the first job completed in the printing shop on his business cards stating that he does cleaning and waxing. ^; Joseph D. Keyser ordered the first envelopes and letterheads, and Jock Brown got the first signs printed to notify about collecting taxes. Sperryville High School Lunch Room tickets were the first school printing from that fair city, and Washington High School’s first job was some book report slips for Mrs. B. R. Cox. The first picture takeif for the paper was of that distinguished group, the Board of Supervisors, and Chairman Latham was reft ested to furnish the first editorial. Mis3 Ruth Stevens and Miss Janet Sollnberger .may fight it out as to which lady wa3 the first to have her picture in the paper, since they both appar with the book form through the careful study and research of Miss Hitei The author of “My Rappahannock Story Book” was bora at “Mont Medi,” ancestral home of her people tucked away in F. T. "Valley. “Dolly” Hite, as she is known to her many friends, spent her childhood there, riding and playing with her five brothers. There she dveloped a love for her own spot of earth that has influenced her Whole life—and which has made this book possible. The occasion of the publication of this, the first large volume on Rappahannock, will be of immense interest, not.only to those of the county, but to all Virginians as well.
