INTERESTING POINTS
AROUND OUR CAPITOL
BY THOS. J. HOOVER.
We hud been travelling : around so j
much that 'oivtunioashiugtoi,i
alnit seemed like coming i.ome ,
T think we Vf the South hear so
much more about Washington than
auy tf the Northern cities, that we
come to think that it is the only
place for oiu' to visit. Well, it is a
beautiful city, for a fact, and 1 don't
know but what I liked it better af
ter all. You know it is called the
"City of Magnificent Instances" and
one can eiisily see. how honestly it
earned the sobriquet when one
stands on hro-id streets Mid views,
stretching away on either side, oth
er wWe streets and avenues, ith
row after low tf beautiful shade
tree?, splendid dwellings and costly
Government buildings.
The Government Parks, or "le
eervations," the intersection of two
or three streets and an avenue, form
one of the pleasing features of the
city. Tiie city park proper ''s Roek

or more, it is a ueii ir i place,
abounding in 'omaiitic drives and
picturesque srenerv. The rads
wen- built principui'y bv convict la
bor from the City Workhouse a
verv good idea.
Naturally, the visitor to Washing
ton in interested the most in seeing
"when- the 1'iefident lives" and
"win r- Congress meets." These
places are the "White House" or
"Executive Mansion," and the "U S'
Capitol." They are widely separat
ed, tml I really believe some people
come to Washington with the im
pression that the President lives at
the Capitol. 1 know of one instance
where a man from ' hicago
was i
hunting a White House Employe in
the Trea.nry Department, and never
Manv think, because the President
lives here, the "natives" must be in
actual touch with him and his fami
ly all tho time; whereas, as a matter
of fact, many people live here years
without evei seeing any member of
th-- family. Then," too, an idea
HeerriB prevalent that Washing
ton is the home of the rich, alone
Alas! Poverty stalks there as in ai!
othei places, aud. in many ci'Ses, the
back windows of the few rich look
down on courts and alleys, tilth and
squalor, poverty and distress among
black and white, that would be the
equal of anything to be found in
larger cities. Associated Charity is
doing the best it can to relieve these
distressinir
conditions, out ic taKes

The home of thJ president taces
be-iutiful park and is surrounded by
small grounds of its own. but the j

whole is very uupietentious; wnen

Obituary.
On Thursday night, Jan, 4, 190(5.
at Star, N C, David Vance Monroe,
the only son of Mr an I Mrs D P
Monroe, died after an illness of
about three weeks. He was 23
years, 3 months and 9 days old.
Vance, as he was called, was a
young man of merit. He was hon
est, truthful and upright in his
dealings with his fellow man.
His father, mother, and sister3
were much grieved to give him up;
but they believe that their loss is
his Eternal gain; tor they eheiish
thfl. hope that he was ready to
answer the summons of death when
it came to claim him for the tomb.
Just before he died he smiled and
pointed up as if to say, "meet me in
heaven." His deuth was very nitiet.
He died without a struggle. On
Friday the burial services were
conducted by the writer at his fath
er's, in the presence of a large crowd
of relatives and friends. The body
was borne bv kind friends to its last
resting place in the family cemetery
noar his old home,

We commend the deleaved to God
who can heal the S"ieinss uf the

may death find them ready, when he
comes, to go in peace to the God
who loves them.
