VOL. 1—NO. 14. class mail matter pending Board of Supervisors Discusses Engaging County Health Nurse A decision to employ >a trained assistant to help the local board of assessors in the re-assessment of real estate was made by the Board of Supervisors in meeting' in the Courthouse yesterday. On the suggestion of Robert L.Brown, Treasurer of Rappahannock county, the salary set for the treasurer’s office was fixed at $3,200, with $000 added for a part-time assistant. This is a saving of $500 to the county, and Treasurer Brown stated that he, as well as anyone could know, was in a position to state that the county needed to} save money wherever it could. A motion was made and carried to investigate the possibilities of deducting the sum of $1300 from the welfare appropriation to provide a county health nurse. This sum is the amount needed to supplement a $500 sum available through the T.B. sales. The report from the boaid of viewers led to the acceptance of the petition and the recommendation that a road be established in the Chester Gap neighborhood, as applied for at the January meeting of the Board of Supervisors. The petition of Johnny Woodard and his son was heard in regard to repairng a road in the Castleton neighborhood. The question of the re-assessment brought much general discussion. This problem of whether to employ a trained assistant or leave the assessing entirely to a board of viewers was one that had caused 'much comment. The decision seemed the most advisable one. An ihsurance policy covering $4 626 was taken out for the protection of fends sometimes kept in the Treasurer’s office. This was in reply to a request made by Robert L. Brown, who said that at times t!»eie were checks and cash in large sums ~ and the safe might not always be adequate to the situation. Mrs. Dyke Quaintance presented the plea for the county Jiealth nurse, stating the need and the good that could be done by such an officer. Dr. John B. Snead also spoke for tnis cause, saying that he knew of no other place where so much good could be furnished for as little money as world be the case if the county had a health nurse. Mrs. W. A. Miller was also present to speak for the benefits derived from having a health nurse in the county. Capt. J. P. Cook made the motion that the investigation be made to see if the funds could be obtained for the county health nurse. This was seconded by W. C. Campbell. Routine bills were paid, and the minutes were approved. All members of the board were present at the meeting.

Moore From Jacksonville, Fla., comes the news of the death of Professor C. J. Moore, brother of William A. Moore of Flint Hill and Mrs. John W. Sours of Castleton. Prof. Moore died at his home in Jacksonville January 25, after an illness of two months. He was 74 years old. Professor Moore was head of the chemistry department., Hunter College, New York, for 24 years until his retirement in June 1945. Surviving are his widow who was Sophie Schwartz at their marriage in 1919; a daughter, Mrs. Hubert L. Worsham of Dublin, Ga.; a son, Charles J. Moore, Jr., of Athens, Ga.; and a sister, Mrs. C. A. Sours, of P,entonviile, in addition to the brother at Flint Hill and the sister at Castleton. Born in Flint Hill, a son of John Randolph Moore and the former Elizabeth Green Professor Moore received a B.S. from V.M.I. in 1895; a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1901, and a Master of Arts degree from Harvard in 1909. Ilis research work in soil analy* sis led to his appointment in 1920 as chief chemist of the Bureau of Soils, United States Department of Agriculture, a post he held for a year. After he had been at Hunter for 15 years, Professor Moore confessed to a reporter that he had come there with some misgivings as to the quality of girl students. He found them easier to work with than boys. “In general ” he said, “the girls are superior to boys as chemistry students. The girl is not distracted by the extra-curricular affairs she enters, has her aims clear in mind and knows how she is going to accomplish them. Girls are good sports, too. They can stand all sorts of inconveniences without whimpering. Although many have been burned by acids at various times, they always finish the experiments. Girls have never received the credit due them.” T-B Seal Sale Incomplete The amount of $312.50 from the T.B. Christmas seal sale has been turned in as of date to the treasurer, Mrs. Lt J. Turner.

Commission Engineer Appears Before Board F. A. Saunders, assistant engineer of the State- Corporation Commission, appeared before tinboard of supervisors in meetinir Wednesday morning to hear the prolilom discussed concerning the plea of Rappahannock for tollfree telephone service within the county boundaries. Mr. Saunders heard James W. Fletcher and others of the county explain what a benefit a toll-free telephone would be in the business of the county today and in the future. The engineer appealed to understand thoroughly the position of Rappahannock people and he stated that he would contact. the telephone companies with this problem and report on hifindings. Following his report there is tlA* possibility that a delegation will go to Richmond for an additional hearing. Senator Raymond R. Guest has heen active in the presentation of the county’s telephone problem before the corporation commission and numbers of expressions of appreciation for his interests have been heard throughout the county. In the discussion at the meeting of the board of supervisors on Wednesday morning, many small instances were cited where this toll-free county service would be of great help: in calling the doctor in calling the game warden, in school work of P.-T.A. and other school activities, in conducting business and in the matter of strengthening th^ county for the future by removing a barrier in the communication, so important in a rural community. The fact was brought out that four of the six magisterial districts are divided by toll calls. Throughout th discussion there was reiteration that there was no complaint of the telephone service. The sole object of the change in the service from that of the presert time is: that the phones of the entire county shall remain as they are with the ad-t! itiorr erf—toll-free "seiTice'wiT.tittv the county boundaries.

Miller emphasized his speech of appreciation for the firemen by presenting a check for *,0° fr,,m *>'e Rappahannock Home Mutual Hire insurance Co. The evening of entertainment was "ell handled with .J. K. KeyM'' as master of ceremonies Mr ‘ Keyser expressed for the citizens t»e appreciation for this splendid hre company in their service rer' |,|0f '"eases of fire. He applauded their fine qualities in giv of tim(- ;""1 efforts in fighting hre. and their willingness to go any distance at any hour to help the families of the county m case of dreaded fire. Guests of the occasion, in addition to the members of the fire company, were Frank Stoutamyer Thief of Front Royal; Chief H. H. Colvin of Culpeper, and Mrs. Colvin; Jesse M. Yowell, and E. Mirphy Hoffman of the Culpeper Volunteer Fire Department; and Miss Phyllis Verner, to whom Mr. Keyset referred as “our faithful Phyllis” as a tribute for her faithful service through the years in helping tiie fire company and the ladies of the auxiliary. Mrs. Robert L. Massie cleverly presented the $500 check to Lewis J. Turner. Complete in rhyme, Mrs. Massie deplored the sadness of a lady with “holes in her hose” hut stated that it was known that when tiie firemen had' “holes in their hose,” the condition was much more serious. Therefore, the ladies were presenting the firemen the check to help them buy new hose. She then handed Mr. Turner a lady’s leg—store models- -and told him the check was in the toe and that he wpuld have to remove the firemen’s red garter and the “hose with '"the holes” in order to get the check. -Mi s. Massie s poem concluded w i t h : “So take this check and give 't “to your own appointed buyer Jo buy new hose e.o the water goes directly on the fire.” C. J. Miller didn't compete in unique umvs to present tlte insurance cNnuapy’s check. It was in a plain envelope. The ladies of the auxiliary were in top-notca form for quality and quantity of food. The tables were decorated in fireman's red and white, with flower^ and candies carrying out tiie color sheme. “Mr. Willie” Compton returned thanks before the banquet began. During the dinner Mr. Kcyser entei tained witii his well-known supplies of stories, and pulled jokes on the firemen. He spared few, and lathered Trooper Runtin with a story about tearing u i tickets. Following the dinner, when everyone feit far from a mood of work, tiie ladies passed around balloons and requested that th-‘ crowd see who could blow one to the bursting point first. D. D. Miller seemed to win, though the general barrage of all the popping balloons made it hard to tell. In the contest of string chewing to a center marshmallow, a few wisecracks were thrown at Downing Wood, accusing him of having known about the coming contest since he had seated himself beside a pretty lady, when the others had men with whom to compete. C. J. Miller drew Mahlon Ramey as a partner and he informed him emphatically before they began^hat when he got near the center of the string, one of em better quit. " C. T. Bruce exhibited bulldog tenacity in the contest with Murphy Hoffman as an opponent. Mr. Hoffman worked^ hard-*-so hard, ■ in fact, that he Shewed the* string in two—but Mr. Bruce got the marshmallow. The ladies of the auxiliary are receiving praise for their fine work. Vhp banquet itself was excellent, although they so consistently do a wonderful job that it is now taken almost as a matter of course. The size . of the gift shows that they have kept the welfare of the fire department foremost in mind and their energies have turned steadfastly toward the good of the company. Car Destroyed By Fire The Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department was tailed out early Monday morning at 2:30 when a car belonging to Walter Bridget caught fire near the colored school house in Washington.

Application fur i-n'i'y a- < c’ass matter i- pending. Subscription: _ S2.00 a year Jefferson—Unity (By Malcolm Moore) Thomas Jefferson, who was one of fhe most liberal and energetic intellectuals in Virginia's history, sensed the importance of rural communal living, the decadence of which (today) might be called an American tragedy. In letters to his family and friends, Jefferson wrote concerning the advantages ■of a unified community, paralleled with the permanence of the soil. He had been in France for over ten years with the foreign service and had witnessed the continental ways of life; the loyalty, the bourgeois society, and the inevitable when these two classes are present—the poor and destitute. Jefferson saw the poverty stricken exploited by the plunder, ng, ambitious landowners, and the desire for unity became the basis for his doctrines. This, combined with his love of Northern Virginia, caused him to write, in his “Notes on Virginia,’’ concerning the “bounteous goodness” of the soil, the climate and the people of this section. In T h o m a s Jefferson's era there was a general unity always prevalent, as is usually the case with any new society. Hywever, n the 2(1(1 years that followed, this plausible view has become dimmer and dimmer, po.-sibly because we have doubled our effort and forgotten our aim. The same uountiful land is present, of which, a small piuportion is instilled in everyone living on it or anyone who lias li\ed on it. One c«fn never really escape his native soil. Also, the advantages of our climate and feitile land and the permanence of friendship alias important in today's society as :n Jefferson’s day. The' people of this terrain have a definite heritage that must not he overlooked. The grass., isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. - ____ Today we are oBse-sed with .‘ears of atoms and communism, t'Oth of which have Been a part of man's physical and sociological make-up (respectively ) since the dawn of h manity.^A* strong com1 life will automatically Banish these two underlying fears. The one-world harmony, which the politicians exhaust themselves over, Begins at homt—and nowhere else. I here is little hope for world peace when there is distention in small groups and society is in a geneia! flux. The answer lies in the action of the people.

Harrison Opposes Federal Education Aid A “staik structure of centralized Socialistic control" underlies toe Federal Aid to Education plan, which is a major element, of the Welfare State idea, Representative Bull' I’. Harrison declared recently in an address to t’ne Leeshurtt Rotary (.'lull. He characterized it as potentially the most dangerous scheme in a legislative package, which also includes F K l’ C repeal of the TaftHartley A c t, the super controls of the Br&nnan farm plan, compul sory 'health insurance, the AntiPoll Tax Bill and new public housing proposals. “The one argument that is advanced in its behalf is that some of the States are too poor to support an adequate public school system,” he said. “Did you ever stop to think that there is no State in the union with a financial structure so unsound and demoralized as that of the Federal Government?” “Let us grant the need for additional money for schools. If that additional amount is to be raised by taxation. Virginia is in a better position than is the Federal Government with respect to increasing taxes. If it is to be financed by borrowing, the credit of Virginia is better than that of Uncle Sam. If more money is to come from surplus, Virginia has the surplus, whereas the United States Governmertt is in leal danger of bankruptcy as a result of heedless deficit spending.” I 0scipies of John Dewey, regarded as the father of “pi ogressiv«*“ ed cation, have formed into “school house lings" to wrest control of the schools" from the people generally and educate ihndicn to a sympathy for Sociali-m, Mr. Harrison charged. The aid to education }>.• oposal would a-sist these forces materially. he explained because "thet e <> no form of federal giant in aid ti’.at is not accompanied by conditions to be met before the money is paid." “Let the States accept the Federal aul fur a few years, become accustomed to it — adjust their State financing to depend on the Federal contribution for school program maintenance." he continued. "Then, the educational planners will lie realty frrr—thtr next move—more controls, an approach to standardization of'curricula— in short, a Fedeial system of public education, worked out in Washington and supervised by a corps of bureaucrats headquartered there." Mr. Harrison noted this paragraph in an open letter to a Washington newspaper signed by Dewey and other prominent educators : "The existence of racially segregated schools is itself a blot upon the American public school system which, must in time be eliminated. Any measure which forward - looking forces can support must provide effective means to prevent discriminatory application of Federal funds." "Ivory tower” educators consider the parent’s wishes a- to the education of his child “beneath ’he- dignity of their notice" he said. “Those who have deified ln-wey want only to u left alone to t eac ii in the manner in which t.’.c-y intei pi et the tenets of t nine w mysticism." They nave written textbooks vc hi', in ca-h "dissension and (o.it! iffit .inversion" through subt.c disparagement of American 11 adit innoveremphasis on pov• ■ 11y and d ■ -1 re-s in the Unitc-d .'lutes, 1’iaisC' of Socialism ami emphasis of this class struggle idea," lie■ continued. "Until this year, the approved list of, 'textbooks for Virginia schools carried a book entitled 'The Story of Civilization’. One of tlie authors of this book lias permitted his name to be associated publicly with organizations officially adjudged subversive and Communist-controlled. This book referred to Karl Marx and Lenm in glowing teniis; . pheld the Spanish loyalists for their heroism; defended Socialism and villi 1 i o < I capitalism.” "Although the State Board of Education let this book slip by, it is to be commended for striking it from the approved list. But what would be the situation if books of this character were bought for use in our Virginia schools—ncK as the result of a slip, but through- the deliberate policy of Federal bureaucrats exercising authority which local school authorities were powerless to oppose? "So long as we retain control in the people of Virginia, you anth^I can back our Government in his announced purpose to bring out Virginia schools to the forefront in training oUr youth to become informed and patriotic citizens. “But once we surrender the management of our schools to the federal bureaucracy and the ’parlor pinks’ of the ‘progressive’ movement in education, neither you nor I nor state and local school boards, npr even the Governor nor Legislature will have any power over who teaches or what is taught to our children.” urged parents to take a new interest in the methods being used to teach their children in public schools and concluded, “School authorities must be made to understand — that it is the people's wishes which are paramount. We may be stupid and ncouth in the eyes of the disciples of Dewey, who insist on their way of education and demand to be insulated from parents. But the chddren belong to the people .and so does the money that pays the school hills. ’ Beef Cattle Producers Convention In Richmond All beef tattle producers are invited to attend the Cattlemen's Convention on February Cth at the Hotel Jefferson in Richmond, beginning at 1^:00 a.m. A.

The bi-partisan Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, created by Congress with the, approval of President Truman and headed by former President Hoover, has provided a chart for the elimination of governmental extravagance and waste.-- -- This past year, because of dup luation and overlapping in the Armed Services we wasted about one billion dollars out of the fifteen billion spent for National Security. In 1948 two agencies planned to budd the same dam in nearly the same place at Hell’s Canyon, Idaho. E: eh set of plans cost about $250,<tOO. The plans differed by approximately 75 million dollars in. estimv.ted cost of erection. it now costs the rost Office I >eI'i'nnient two and a half cent* to print and deliver a penny post card. The Veterans Administration, at Mie time of the Commission's survey, had 6,500 empty beds in its hospitals, yet VA and other goveminent agencies have planned or are building additional hospitals at u cost of over a billion dollars, whe n 54', of the available beds are not now occupied This is Alice in \V< nderland c 't lakes more than $10 worth of , . pi r work to complete a govern■ .( i.’.al purchase order.

COBB BARBARA LAWRENCE —IN— “THIEVES HIGHWAY” AU»: NEWS Spring Buying Outlook Stoie managers just returned from Spring markets are giving some encouraging notes for shoppers. Spring buying by stores was done later this year, because buyers wore waiting to see what prices were going to do. Newflj York reported a rush business the third week in January, when a seller of handbags did a $1-million business in five days. This was one of the largest buying weeks the New York market had ever seen. A slight price drop seems in store for the shopper. Most store managers state that the drop is so little that it’s hardly noticeable but the small decrease is present, nevertheless. Piece-goods is up, said one manager, which—means ready-to-~ wear clothes will nearly match in price the piece goods before made up. The amount of cheaper ready-to-w''"" will depend upon labor costs and how much manufacturers can cut corpers in costs. One manager reported a shipment of nylon. blouses for $5.95 this season, where they were $7.35 last year. Children’s cotton clothes show a slight decline. WASHING MACHINE FINISH The white, porcelainlike finish of the modern washing machine is strictly chemical in nature. It may be a glycerol-phthlate resin or a urea-formaldehyde resin or a combination of thetwo. In most cases, the finishes are baked at moderately "high temperatures. OUTLOOK FOR 1950 “Relatively good” is the forecast for Virginia’s 1950 fruit growers. Dr. Harry Love, head of the agricultural economics d e p a r tment at VPI, says the expected decrease in the national apple crop may he enough to stop the downturn in prices. Virginia growers had a somewhat short crop in 1949, and may reasonably expect an increase this year. Exports of fruit during the first half of 1950 may be increased through EGA subsidies, and the easing of import restrictionsi by some countries. However, it now seems that most of the crop will have to depend on domestic market outlets. Fruit supplies per capita are expected to be enough in 1950 to maintain consumption of about_ 210 pounds. Of this, fresh apples get about 25 pounds; 'bananas, 20 pounds; and fresh oranges, 35 pounds. Competition from citrus fruits will likely be stronger. Frozen orange juice is rapidly becoming an active bidder for consumer tastes. Cold storage stocks of apples are considerably larger than a year ago. Producers who continue, to hold for higher prices may be disappointed. INSURANCE IN' CANADA Life insurance protection of Canadian families at the end of 1948 was more than 13 billion dollars. This was an increase of 10 per cent over 1947. Four and one-half million Canadians carry an average of nearly $3,000 of insurance each.

SOIL SAVER NOTES Ten complete farm plans for soil and water conservation were developed by Culpeper and Rappahannock county farmers in cooperation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District during the month of January. _Rappahannock county farmers include W e le h Brothers, 279 acres, Flint Hill; Lt. Sam A. Hill, 92 acres, Slate Mills; and T. Upton Cleary, 87 acres, Amissville. All of the complete plans incorporate correct land use, utilizing each acre for the purpose for which it is best suited. The better soil types, occurring in gently sloping fields that have been subject to only slight erosion, lend themselves much better for growing corn, small grain and other depleting crops. Steeper slopes that have been more severely washed are used as hay land and pasture, thus giving greater protection. The district plans include lime, fertilizer and seed recommendations for each field on the farm. Forestry management recommedations are also included. The supervisors of the Culpeper soil conservation district recommend that all farmers develop a soil and water conservation plan in co-operation with the district. •‘A farm plan propeily applied to the land saves soil, rainfall and improves soil fertility,” says T. Ci. Ragsdale and Downing Wood, district supervisors from Culpeper and Rappahannock counties re-pectively.

Little Washington Post “Birds of a Feather” . . . flock together. There’s a Jot o truth in this old adage. People are oftimes scorned or praised, due to their associates. Who’s your best pal? Do you admire her or him? or do you merely go with them so as not to be left out in the eol.i? Would you like to iave some of your friend’s qualities. If not, you better make a change, for people associating naturally acquire each other’s characteristics. “A friend in need is a friend indeed”—a true friend will greet you at all times, regardless of whether you’re on the winning or losing side. He will pat you on the back when you aren’t so cheery and celebrate with you when you’re gay. If your friend lacks these qualities, if he or she is only around when the going is easy, watch out, he’s no friend, Just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Friendship is a wonderful partnership. Choose a partner with whom you ' have something in common, a partner with whom you’d be glad to be seen. When seeking, look beyond a Cleaning Up Project . . . that’s what it is—a real cleaning: up project. No one person—or a few—can carry out this project.

Toast slices of sponge cake, and spread it with jam, marmalade, or jelly. Next spread with a little meringue and leave it in the oven until biown. * * * Do your stockings have particularly vlarge holes to be darned? An easy solution is to use a piece of net. Plae« the net over the hole. Baste it in place. Then darn as usual. * * * There’s a rule that ffrandmother used to follow that's still Stood today. This rule is aboi.t the household linens in your house. Check the sheets and pillow cases carefully before you put them in the laundry. If thfre are any splits or snatrs, mend them immediately. If you don’t catch them rijfht away they'll prow in the washing. ¥ ¥ * An excessively neat housewife "ho keeps all the ashes clean 1 tom the fire place makes a mistake. Tne ashes should lie kept level with the andirons. This provides a bed for the plowinp charcoal which will yield ,a steady heat and at the same time help mtiite lieu loos as thev are added. Survey Of Electrical Equipment Underway “H'>w can 1 know what piece of elect: ica! equipment will do the joh for me?" Agricultural enginee's at VI’I, aim .to find the answer to this question—asked "by farmers ever since electricity has been a source of power on the farm. R. L. Chambliss, Jr., Expel iment Station, will head tiehl studies ot electi ical equipment installeil on farms of various sizes and types throughout Virginia. These studies will assemltle data on the use of farm and home electrical equipment, under actual farm conditions, as compared with the method formerly used. Data will include operating costs, labor requirements, savings, and profits.,., as well as other factors with a direct bearing on the use of the equipment being studied. The survey is being done by the Virginia Experiment Station and the Virginia Farm Electrification Council. Check meters and recording instruments will be connected to the equipment. Farm families will help record daily information on brooders, ranges, freezers, corn and hay driers, and many other pieces of electrical equipment. At present 300 farmers and vocational agriculture students are being asked to assist in a poultry brooder study. Engineers and voag teachers are visiting the farms to help the farmers and students set up brooders and install refolding meter s. Comparative studies on oil, coal, gas, and wood —brooders al-o are—meludcd.—Ret-— olds of both winter and spring brooding will be taken. The information will tell the farmer if his present equipment is well-adapted to^the service expected of it. Educational workers will have practical knowledge of the performance of equipment, and will learn of problems in installing, operating and maintaining the equipment. Fallacies of design and operation can be spotted. And the basic data will suggest recommendations for improved designs and methods. Potash Shortage Forseen; Stock Up Now Is Advice dwindling supplies of potash fertilizers, and -hoi tages for the spline piantings are forseen by national and state agricultuii-ts. -At \ PI, If. I,. Dunton. head of Pie agronomy department, has this word of advice: If you expect to use potash for tilizers this season, buy them now. Most warehouses now are full with cured, high-anaylsis mixed fertilizers and can make immediate delivery. But they probably will not be able to meet the demand later. Instead of the early expectations of a 15 to 20 percent increase in potast supplies. there probably will he a 10 to 15 percent decrease in pi.,duction of 5,000 tons per day. Mine operators say that even though operations are resumed immediately, it will bo imposMb!-* to make up for lost production this spring. Manufacturers also fear coal strikes may curtail railroad operations to -uch an extent that will hamper deliveries of nitroge 1 and other fertilizer ingredientIf you buy and accept deli' - ery of fertd.zer now, .-tor*- it a dry place, not stacked ' on an earth floor.

But there’s a real danger that w£ will — whether we want it or not. One of the main roads to socialism is government ownership and control of important businesses. The electric light and power business is •One —and this map shows- how far the government is in it alreadv. Every white dot — 209 of them — on the map marks an electric power plant now operated or financed bv our federal government. Facts black dot shows where another government power plant is being built, expanded or proposed. In all-over -OO places in ^ states! And a long step toward a socialistic U. S. A. Most of the people who speak for more government control over American life don’t want a socialistic nation. 1 hey havejother reasons -for government control. But when government, moving step by step, controls enough things, weal have a socialist government, whether we want it or not. And, instead of our freedoms, we'll hare government control, not. onlv over business, but over churches, schools, homes — our whole lives. * CORLISS ARCHER" for dolightful comody. CBS-Sunday*—9 P.

Menefee have “laid the ghost” at “San Jacinto,” their charmingly re-modeled home on the Sperryville-Washington road. It seems sad to think of the lady ghost being unable to find her way about in the changed rooms, hut so the tales run, for a ghost is supposed to be forever “laid” if the house’ is changed. The lady ghost of San Jacinto is supposed to be Mrs. Ambler, a tenant of years ago. She appears to have been thoroughly harmless and amused herself by creeping about and opening doors. However, colored servants and some members of the family were not as amused as the elderly ladyghost, for gossip says that Mrs. Willis, who was credited with not having been overly kind to her elderly mother, moved from San Jacinto. She followed the advice of the day which informed her that if one crossed water, a ghost could not follow; so Mrs. Willis crossed the brook about one-half mile from San Jacinton and built “Trianon.” ' Trianon is a two-story. Frenchtype chalet with gable-shaped windows. Some people referred to it as “the house of seven gables." The weatherboards run vertically and the house today is of a brown color and in a poor state of preservation. It was last occupied by the Jack Nicholas family. At the present time Trianon is owned by Mrs. Mattie (lore Hopkins of Shenandoah. Famines who have owned San Jacinto since the Willises lived there are the Tom Mahoney family. the William Sisks, the Jack SBks who now reside in Baltimore, Md., and Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Miller who sold the property to the present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mercer Menefee. When the house at San Jacinto was re-modeled inside, the walls of the dining room were jepapered with hunting-scenes, replacing The original papering—rm—wh-ftdrwas portrayed scenes from various French dramas. Each wall of the dining room was decorated with a different scene. Mrs. Menefee wrote a description of the changes made in remodeling at San Jacinto for the Farm-Journal magazine of March 1949. Mrs. Menefee stated, “The changes weren’t accomplished without some confusion and much hard work. But today comfortable living more than makes up for our trouble. “My husband has done wonders with the farm. He added 500 young trees to the old apple orchard. He has built up the pasture land by mowing fh'P ‘sea’ of broom sedge at intervals and spreading all the lime he could pay for—and a little he co ldn’t —at the time! With an annual crop of feeder calves and 300 Hampshire hens, we’re gradually making the farm pay. “<hn- neighbors agree that ‘the old place looks nrettv pood now.' But wo shall never feel that the 'oh iif ini] |n\ inp our farm is finished.—we eniov the ehallrrnre of making it still hotter." Mrs. Monofee stated in the Farm Journal article. Ran Jacinto, the 1 OO-vear-old home L built of field stone and plaster and it has clean, sunple linos. It has weathered the storms unyielding since 1830. The farm, whiidi contains iso acres of land today, 50 yearn auo consisted of two-or-three thousand acres, extending from the colored church at Smedlev to Jenkins mountain. Of this land 144 acres, which comprised San Jacinto, were sold to J. T. Gore in 1889 by one of the former owners, E. A. Willis, for $22 an acre. . / The original owner of San . Jacinto was Colonel Ambler who fought in the war for Texas independence and he named the estate after the decisive battle of the war,' fought April 21, 1836', near San Jacinto bay. ' Colonel Ambler’s daughter, ,Edwina Ambler, who inherited San Jacipto from her father, married Captain A. Marat Willis, a Confederate soldier. Some time between 1890 and 1900 the Willis family, consisting of Capt. Willis and hus wife, their daughter, Miss May Willis; Edward Willis and his family; and A. M. Willis, a lawyer, moved to Texas and subsequently to Oklahoma. Byrd Willis, another son of Capt. A. M. Willis, was .at that time a guard at the penitentiary in Richmond and continued so for many years, later retiring, and died in Richmond several years ■ago. Lewis Willis, another son, was a railway clerk and moved to page county, where he was a factor in republican politics, and RKFOIti: he now resides in Pape county. A. M. Willis, Jr.,‘is also a guard in the Virginia Penitentiary in Richmond. W. E. Compton. 84, formerly mayor of Washington and one of its oldest citizens, relates that as a boy he remembers Captain A. M. Willis, his daughter. May, and three sons, Lewis, Byrd, and Achille Willis. The sons, he recalls, were great fox hunters* and two of the boys, Achille and Lewis Willis, were classmate of Mr. Compton’s at “Tlj.e Academv." ( aptain \\ illis was a strong supporter of the Re-adjuster Party. a split party formed about ]ssO by Billy Mahone of Richmond. h. R. Henry taught school at San Jacinto for Achille Murat W illis, who was a great uncle of the Browning children living at (i-reenfield, two miles away. John Armistead Browning, Jr., horn 1865, was the son of John Aimistead and Mary Lewis Willis Browning, the latter being a great-granddaughter of B e t t y Washington and a niece of Prince ( narles Louis Napoleon Aciiille Murat, nephew of the first Napoleon. Prince Achille Murat came to Florida front France where he found . refuge fiotn Europe’s turmoil after his Uncle Napoleon Bonaparte’s death. He met Kate Gray, daughter of Mrs. Byrd Willis of Fredericksburg, -'■v h o—with—her_family mined to Florida, near Tallahassee, the abode of the Prince Murat to whom Kate Gray Willis was later married. She was the greatgrandniece of George Washington; her gt'y at-grand mot her. Betty Washington. had married Fielding Lewis.
