By actual weight it tipped the scales at 79 pounds, and measured 5 net inch in circumference and 21 inches in diameter.

He wna well proportioned, healthful and strong from out of door exercise. On one oc casion he had a couple of beys to visit him. It wns summer time. The boys were lip early nnd out in the Melds be fore the household had awakened. Anions the horses on the pl.'ico was n valuable and vicious young colt, which had pTuwu nlmost to maturity un broken and which was highly prized by George's u:other beuauso it was a well bred animal and had belonged to her husband. The boys were attract ed by the line looking horse, and Georfro sugges.ed that if they would help him to chase the llerce, ungovern able colt iuto a corner lie would put a bridle bit in hiss mouth and mount biui. It Viiis done, and soon Washington was upon his back. The frightened, angry beast rushed madly into the lield, but was curbod by the sirmig arms of the boy on his ba'k, riding without u saddle. Then followed a fearful struggle, the horse rearing nnd plunging in vain efforts to shake the lad off. Finally, making a desperate effort, the colt burst a blood vessel end fell dying to the ground. The boys who were watching the af fair were very much alarmed, but it probably never occurred to George Washington to be anything but frank and truthful in the matter: They were called to breakfast. The mother, ig norant of what hud happened, said to the boys in a chec.ful manner: . "Pray, young gentlemen, have you seen my blooded colts in your ram bles? I hope they are well taken care of. My favorite, I am told, is as large as bis sire." .. There was much embarrassment among the visitors when Mrs. Wash ington repeated the question, but George replied: "Your favorite, madam, is dead." "Dead!" she exclaimed. "How has this happened?" "That sorrel horse," said George, "has long been thought to be untama ble. We forced a bit into his mouth this morning, and I mounted him and rode him around the field, and In try ing to throw me he struggled so hard that he broke a blood vessel and died." The mother's cheek flushed for a moment, when she said to her boy: "It is well. But, while I grieve for the loss of my favorite animal, I am proud, my son, to hear you speak the truth." WASHINGTON AS A YOUTH. Studious and' Practical, He Became a Surveyor at Sixteen. George Washington was fond of mathematics, and, having mastered arithmetic under Mr. Williams, the boy's practical mind soon developed In him a genius for its practical use. After he finished school he spent much time at Mount Vernon and Belvolr. He studied persistently at home and prac ticed land surveying on Lord Thomas Fairfax's . extensive acres not far from Mount Vernon. At the age of sixteen George Wash ington waa appointed to the office of public surveyor, a position well consid ered as both honorable and lucrative. Young Washington was sent out to surrey some backwoods land, and while at work there he boarded with a widow -who had seven big, strong sons, all fond of. athletic sports. Aft er the day's work was done these young men gathered each evening on the plot of ground before the door to try their skill at running, jumping and wrestling to see, as they termed it. "which was the best man." In run ning and Jumping George Washington always took the lead, but at wrestling his companions boasted many years later that they bad often laid the Father of His Country on his back. The friendship that started in those early days lasted all through their lives, and five years after George Washington gave commissions to ail of his youthful friends, who chose to Join the axujv. Millinery Opening I"" MISS ESTHER F. AUMAN invites you to attend her Fall and Winter . Millinery Opening of Pattern Hats, SATURDAY, OCT. 1st, 1910 Asheboro. N. C. Next d ior to Standard Drug Company DRAG HIGHWAYS NOW. Earth Road Troubles Will Be Obviated if Work Starts In. Spring. Three-fourths of the troubles inci dent to the enre of earth roads would be obviated if with the opening of spring the roods were dragged regular ly, so that the water would run off and the surface dry out ' rapidly. When the frost is going out of the ground there must necessarily be a few days of bad roads. If farmers would keep off the roads as much as possible during these few days, then just ns soon ns the soil set tles go over the rond with a drag or a harrow, fill up the ruts nnd chuck holes so that the surface waler would run off, the earth roads would bo in condition months ahead of the usual good period and a great deal of the ommunition of the loud moutluM hard rond advocate would be destroyed. Stone roads are too costly for the majority of localities in the Mississippi valley. Misguided enthusiasts nnd tireless promoters will not admit this, but the taxpaying farmer and the ex perienced road engineer know thnt by properly draining, carefully grndiuj; arid conscientiously repairing earth roads highways of superior excellence may lie obtained during those portions of the year when the transporting of heavy loads is necessary. Look after your roads, and do it now. Consider the Children. Look well to the sort of road that goes by a farm before you determine to buy and make your home there. Consider the young folks. "What is land worth nt the other end of thi3 road as compared with that which lies six miles away in the other direc tion along a smooth road? Every grown farm boy should have n good horse and a good road upon which to drive if be is worthy of so noble an animal as the horse. When the young farmer starts himself be will do well to locate on a good road. There are always enough persons who are not thankful for advice, especially if it be In print, and who want the cheap land at the end of the hilly road."
