MANASSAS, V A . , FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1915.
N O W S THE TIME FOR A.PARK For sometime Manassas has felt quite keenly.
thfe need of a small park where in the afternoons
this time is required. Again it has rarely h i ^ pened that these laundries have been jomvorthy of the people's patronage. '

benches awaiting them. The townspeople would —TMost assuredly find such a place very attractive.
3 u t such a park would prove equally attractive to the tired mother from the country who would ]ike to have a seat in the shade and a drink of #ater before beginning the'homeward journey
i f ter a day's shopping. In still another way
would a/ park prosejaluable to the town. To strangers or to pec^le forced to wait here between trains scarcely anything would make a greater appeal than a nice little park. Suchanadver-
_ tisi»g.feature would^speak well fox,Manassas. 'It hoD boonauggcated several times that the
courthouse yard should be converted into a mina-ture park and we have always considered the ouggestion a good onoi SoMiohow or othop the
When the people of Manassas and the outlyihg country learn that a local laundry is doing good work and at a reasonable rate the i)usiness can be expected to grow. Onl^ in proportion as t i e laundry can prove its worth, however, can it expect ^oces s in Manassas.
The accumulation of wealth is merely a question of - saving money and putting it in a safe place.
Tlus bank will welcome your account, whether large or small
matter has never been very vigorously agitated; had it beeii we would probably not feci the need of a park now. To fis, howfever, the present seems a very oppc^tune tim^ to consider tUs rrmtttkr and we wirii to go on redwrd 88 being ^igbfy ffi IsvoF of some deftaitft aetaon TwiDg

The fortresses of Ticondero^ and Grown Point were important, both for their strate|fic importance and for the munitions of war which they contained; so, when it was suggested to the MaBssachusetts Committee of Safety to send out an expedition to take these two posts, it was adopted, and Benedict Arnold, -a. fiery and impetuotis young patriot, was given a commission as colonel and empowered to call for volunteers with which to ac-complishIHTs dbjectT With his ustiat impetuosity, however^he set off for Vermont immediately, without tronhhng hjmjwif tn wait until his regfiment was assembled- When he affived, he found that an organization known as the "Green Mountain Boys" headed bv the quaint old mountaineer, Ethan Allen, had already se t out for the same purpose.

It was John Adams who iSrst t h o u ^ t of Washington for that position. He conunun ica ted^ c^imon to his brother, Samuel Adams, who dxprboDod some doufet as to its'-pdicy, a s the New England men had nominated General Artemng Ward. Bat John Adams soon overcame these doubts and, in a aeaaion nf t V Con gress, made a powerful speech nominating Washington.
He b ^ a n nis speech with such eulogies of the military abil--ttrt^f-Gsneral Ward ai thi' mmr prm'tu,^ itf*.u W M ^ I . . . . . ^ ^».bi not criticize; he emied, however, by saying: "but he is not the fnan I have selected." Adams then continued by enumerating the virtuesT^pzTidence, wisdom and military skill—a ccHunander-in-chief must possess. Finally, he thundered forth: "and the num whom I have selected—the'man who possesses all these qualities—itf a member of this body and « ts before you, George Washington of Virginia" His nomination created a profound sensation.—Washington; who was occupyijig his seat as a dele^ gate, lej^Jt to his feet in great coa^^ision and hturiedly left the room. Samuel Adams moved an adjournment. During the recess, the members discussed the nomination and such was the weight of the argumertts of tlife Wttshifigtun sujjpoileiti that, on June 15, 1775, he was unanimously elected by ballot and given his commission.

Meanwhile, matters at Boston had assumed a more decided tone. Gage had received large re-enforcements from England and, stung by the taunts of their commanders, Generals Bur-

Three thousand redcoats lav dead on the bloody s lories of the hill as against four hundred'and fifty .Rajnots-among them the brave Dr. Warren. - - —
Sixteen days later, Washington, accompanied by Generals Charles Lee and Phillip Schuyler, arrived at the headquarters of the army at Cambridge and formally took command of all the Continental forces.
The patriot cause was now well organized. It liad an army whose commander was the best soldier it had. It had already oome to a tnal of strength with the British forces and, though techmcally it had lost the day, stili the battle of Bunker's Hill was morally as complete a victorj- as that of Concord.
