the faults of other. Look to your own,
you had better find out one of your

LETTER FROM ocCoQUAN.
Correspondence Alexandria Gazette]'

OCCoQUAN, Va, June S.-There are
two seasons Of the year when this fast
growing little town is busiest and the
picturesque country around it is con-
sidered at its best, and this is one.
The general industries of OccOquan
are now active and many strangers are
to be seen here every day. Those who
take boardcrs have many more than at
any time since the regular excursion
boats ceased to run and nearly every
day the town and falls are visited by
excursion and picnic parties from be-
yond.
While these people may not count
for much in the way of patronage, they
give the place lively appearance and
when they go away seemingly pleased
with what they found down here we
say we are glad to see them.
Ofcourse the falls is a greater attrac-
ton to the visitor than the town. How
ever, when they get amongst our peo-
pie they seem TO forget comparison be-
tween cities and towns. Some of these
come right back; some stay the season
through and then bring Others the
next, ard it seems to your humble cor
respondent that when those that have
weakness for the gentler sex when
they get with our girls it's hard indeed
to keep them away. 1t is likewise with
those of religious turn of mind.
There are some who believe the only
religion of our town and people is the
old side, hard shell, primitive,
autc-means, predestinarlap. Bible
Baptist religion, while this is bot
so, for we have Methodists and Presby
terans and EpiscopaliaDs amongst us
as well, yet it is very evident that if
the old Occoquan people have any
prejudice against any one it is that
which goes against only those who
seem TO have no religion at all.
am hearing good deal said about
politics just now and people are beein-
ming to ask who is elected before the
fight is begun. l think it can be said
old Occoquan and all this part of old
Prince William can be looked forward
to stand or fail with the democratic
party, whose principles are those of
our fathers and should never die. We
are to a man in favor of Hon. E. E.
Meredith for the congressional nomina
ton, though yet we have many of us
heard some of Mr.. Anderson's pretty
speeches, and we like him very we'll in
deed. We like Mr.. Joe Willard also.
He is against unlawful horse racing and
so are we.
Our streets are being improved,
which must be noticed by every old
timer as we'll as stranger. We wish we
could say more improvement is given
our roads. That will come, especially
if you listen to the people who ride bi-
cycles. Many of these come here now.
One Sunday recently there was party
of about twenty-five down here. Those
who visit the town to see the
falls are mostly young people
Of course. They often bring their pho.
tographing apparatus along and "take"
whatever appears pleasant to them.
The rocks when barred by dry spells
and the water at flood times both
please those who come, it seems, and
we hear many complimentary things
said even in comparison with other
places of beauty. Often these bicyclists
pack up their wheels together and pay
a boy to watch them as though they
feared somebody would steal the things.
