AN OLD VIR GINIA TAVERN WAS THK WAs»l|Nt.rO\ “LITTLK HATCH KT” 8TOKY UKitil N \TKI> TIIKICK? The old Rising Sun tavern, one of the most historic buidllngs in this city and possibly In this state, will be sold at public uuction next week in order to settle up an old estate. Its history dates back beyond the Revolutionary war, and in its time it has been tne scene of many swell social runctlons. The old Inn was rau by George Weddon, who afterwards became a major-general in the Continental army. The old tavern was the stop ping place for many distinguished meu, some of whose names have gone upon record as among the first statesmen of this country. Promi nent among them were Gen George Washlngtou. Gen Hugh Mercer. Chief Justice John Marshall, Gen, Lafay ette and the first admiral of • the American navy. John Paul Jones. The tiyrn Is situated at the extreme end y®» upper Main street, and was in • olden days a favorite stopping place for those who owned large planta tions. Hardly a day ever passed that some of the prominent citizens of the town did not assemble at this old inn to pass away time which would otherwise have been freighted with monotony. Famous old Virginia mint Juleps were made and dispensed there by an old negro servant, “Nelae,” who was famous for his ability to make a Julep which would make the mouth run water. R was in this famous old ( inn that the story of George Wash ington with his famous little hatchet] that cut down the cherry tree of his, father originated. It was while in company of Gen. Hugh Mercer and several other distinguished gentle men who were stopping at this old tavern that George proposed to throw <i silver dollnr across the Rappahan nock. which was twice as wide then «' it present. They repaired to the farm of George’s mother in Stafford county, Just across the rlver from the Old ferrey landing, from which bank George threw the dollar to the bank on the Fredericksburg side. After the colonies had won their independence Gen. Washington held in this tavern a reception to the of ficers who had been with him at York town. Among the distinguished guests present on that occasion was Gen. Lafayette. -Parkersburg LeiJ ter.
