The best known of these Is the Incident of the cherry tree and the hatchet, a story now known to have no foundation. George was early noted as a truthful lad. but there Is no evidence that he ever cut down a cherry tree and then confessed it to his father. George was a leader among his boy friends. He was tall and muscular, and matured early, both physically and mentally. He was a clever horseman and he could outwalk or outrun any of his companions. He was a good boy, but not a "goody-goody" bov. and was liked by all who knew him. At the age of 16 he became a sur veyor. While learning the art of sur veying. he was also acquiring knowl edge of another sort, from his con duct with older men and women. His most Intimate friend was his eldest half-brother, Lawrence. 14 years his senior. After the death of his father. Lawrence was both father and broth er to cteorge. Til March 1748, George Washington, accompanied by George Falrflax, a relative of his patron, set forth for the frontier. TTe was just past his six teenth birthday. Purveying was a rough life, but Washington thrived under exposure. Before he was legally of age. 'he had saved considerable sums out of his fees for surveying, had bought several parsels of land, and had won a reputa tion for solid worth unusual in so young a man. When Governor Dinwlddie of Vir ginia -wanted a man to undertake the dangerous mission of warning the French not to trespass upon English territory, his choice fell on George Washington. Washington was a brave fighter. He held the position of colonel in the war. After Braddock died he took the place of commanding the army. For 3 years he commanded all Virginia forces. In 1758 his health became Impaired; he resigned his command and withdrew to Mount Vernon. He made his home there, added many acres, and hy care ful management made It one of the best plantations In the colonies. He was active in the church vestry and In the house of burgesses. He remained athletic and enduring, and his mind, like his body, was fresh and keen. These were Washington's re freshing years as a private citizen; he was one of the richest men In the col owes. Washington spent the winter of 1774 and 1775 at Mount Vernon, and In April he started again for Philadelphia, On June 15 Congress unanimously voted to make him commander-ln-chlef of all the continental forces raised, or to be raised, for the defense of Ameri can liberty. He at once set out on horseback for Boston, and on July 8, 1775, standing under the historic elm, he took command of the contin ental army at Cambridge. In spite of all the handicaps Wash ington had, he proved himself a bril liant tactician. He stands out among military leaders for the devotion he Inspired In his men. In 1788 Washington was called from Mount Vernon to become the first prosldent of the United States. His first term was very successful and he MILTON BOCEK. who played out field last year In the Three Eye league, ia expected to strenghton the Ashe ville Tourist club this season. Right hander, six feet tall, and tipping the scales at 190, the new man, received through trade of Dave Bartosch, is also a good hand at bat. was re-elected for a second term. At the end of his second term. Wash ington returned to five at Mount Ver non. On December 12, 1799, he was ex posed In the saddle for several hours to cold and snow, with the result that he had an attack of acute laryngitis. The disease was a simple one, but ac cording to the methods of the time, the chief remedy, which was useless, was bleeding. His sufferings were acute, but he bore them quietly, gave his last instructions clearly and con cisely, and at the very moment of death was taking his own pulse. About ten o'clock In the’ evening, two days after he was taken 111, he died In per fect peace The news of his death caused mourn ing in Europe, as in America. He was burled In the family vault at Mount Vernon, where three years later. Martha Washington was also laid to rest. —H —H—S— 8EN8E AND NONSENSE The Junior class seemed especially anxious to see the rlnp salesman Mon day. Of course they certainly couldn't have wanted to miss peometry. All the downcast looklnp seniors. State examinations last Tuesday couldn't have had anythin? to do with It I am sure. My, but It looks like sprin?. I won der If this Is true. "In the sprin? a youn? man's fancy turns to thouphts of love." Why was .everyone so excited Mon day. Oh, I see the new teacher ar rived. "Lizzy” you and "Sid” wouldn't be havlnp any difficulties over a certain youn? man. The peometry class real ly seemed happy Monday. I’ll bet It was because they will miss a class Tuesday on account of.senior examine tions. Norman seems to have made the final choice in regard to his girl friend. What about it Louise? Gladys C. and Scott G. have a lot to talk about. I don't suppose “Gus” could be the topic by any means. Reba G. seems elated. It must be due to the fact that she saw Paul W. during the week-end. Robert must have hay fever from the way he sneezes and sighs. Lane, Sylvia and Lula, if this talking doesn't stop, you are going to have some extra work to do. What is Mardy measuring? I can’t find out and I don't believe she knows either. Eh! If you want anything broad cast, Just tell Fred L. and I'm sure It will be announced to everybody. Billy and J. C. seem to be getting along Just hunk-adora. Ora seems interested in trying for tunes. I wonder if Cecil could have anything to do with It. Girls, better get to work in geometry, you know what Mr. Thomas told you. I wonder why Glenn S. was angry with J. L. Friday night. Ruth B. surely had company Fri day night. I saw the “Greene” car up that way. , M John R. and Bill M. are back this week. I know some of the girls arc LAKE TOXAWAY " Mrs. Lewis Tinsley, who has been at the Peek hospital, Biz Mile, 8.
