Ohio. 12 miles from Port Washington, before we could get to Urlcksvllle, where we ( stayed all night Here the dutch wiu repaired, and || U . ni , x| lll( >r n inu W( started for Wheeling. W. Va., reach ing there about 5:30 p. m. Stayed there all night, and the next morninc it was snowing some, and we saw out first snow, in the mountains Alle _ ganoy- to cross. We drove through Washington. Pa., and stayed all night 1 , at Finleyville, Pa., calling on a friend n - of niy sister's who lives there. From ;f there we drove to Pittsburg, Pa.. ’’ Reaching Pittsburg, we took lunch, and continued on to Stoystown, Pa. | staying there all night. From Pitts burg to Gettysburg, Pa., we used the Lincoln highway. Front Stoyestown we drove to Gettysburg, Pa., going through McConnelsburg and Cham hersburg, using the same road, part ot General Lee’s troops used, in col lecting for the first day’s battles, the "cut,” where the first day's battle started being about 300 feet front the road, on the left, the road passing into Gettysburg over a part of the battle field of the first day’s fight, directly past the equestrian statue of General Reynolds. The next day we hired an extra good guide, who rode with us, explaining, so that we were able to get an extraordinarily good idea of each day's battle, as well as the positions held by the different corps command ers on each side. leaving Gettysburg we traveled the same road used by General Lee in his retreat, crossing the Potomac river at Williamsport, Md., having passed through Baggers- . town. Md., taking lunch there, into West Virginia, the same plan General Lee did. From there into Winchester. Va., where we stayed two nights, and one day. Winchester, besides being ■ at the head of the beautiful Shenan- 1 doah valley, lias a memorable. and historical interest, to any one visiting the place. During the late war be-11 tween the states, It was captured and 11 recaptured seventy times, by one side 1 and then the other. During the Rev- 1 olutionary war history speaks of it 1 many times. In the old cemetery 1 still in use—stands a stone wall about ;

• - •»« I. < I'M— ■ «. mi—thirty feet high, said to la* the re mains of the old barracks used during revolutionary limes by British as well as colonial troops. In this same cemetery 1 saw the grave of .Major General John Morgan, that staunch old revolutionary patriot and soldier a plain, flat stone slab, with his name, birth and death dates carved on it- In the center of possibly thirty feet of grass-cut lawn—marks his last resting place. During the late war soldiers of both armies broke off pieces of the slab for mementoes, but two years ago, some lady from some place In the west, being there, and seeing (he condition it was in. ordered a local man to repair it. at her expense, and It was done. We saw the old stone house, used by General Washington during his surveying days, as headquarters. Saw the church un|cr whose walls Lord Fairfax, that brave old Tory, and staunch friend of General washington—-friend to the last, breathing Washington’s name —"My boy, George! why did you do it" —being the last words he breathed —still lays buried. There were many more places of interest space forbids me to mention. Leaving Winchester on the Win-chester-Staunton road, a very good road, we were introduced for the first time to the systematic, privately owned toll roads of Virginia, being forced to pay four dollars and fifty-one cents toll as far as Staunton, Va.. and it would have been more had we paid at each one of the nineteen toll gates in money, instead of tickets, which we bought at the first gate. It is a case of robbery of the auto tourist, and the hotel men should legislate against it. From Winchester we used the same road General Sheridan used when he made his memorable ride, from "Winchester, twenty miles away," to his camp near Cedar Creek, which we crossed near where the camp was stationed, passing over a part of the battie field. Numerous monuments are seen on either side of the road. One I noticed, erected by 118th New York Board of Trade Vol. to their comrades killed there. It stands to the right of the road, on high ground overlooking Cedar Creek, a few hundred feet from the old mill, or. rather where it former ly stood. We continued on south tr New Market, Va. Words cannot de scribe the beautiful scenery along the road. We thought we had seen beau tilul scenery before, but we surelj had not. Range upon range of tht Blue Ridge mountains, each range in terlapping each other, the beautifu green coloring of the trees —ever

greens—relieved here and there by the bright colored tints of the autumn loaves, just now In their greatest beauty, a light mist over the whole, with another relief of color. In the high blue sky, bordering in many cases to a turquoise blue making the Whole a most lovely sight for the eye to see, so that in many cases we stopped the car to feast our eyes on the lovely view in many places, and were loth to move on when forced to do so.
