 Strange as 1t may appear. the climate of Montgomery seems to have changed in recent year. Certainly no one can complain of extreme warmth, these comfortable August days. and these refreshing August nights. To one who can recall that thermometers formerly had a very exhausting August habit, of climbing up close about the 100 mark and staying there. the experience of the past few weeks is very surprising. Perhaps the exquisite drifts of floral snow thrown in picturesque profusion by the starry petals of the white clematis, which is now blossoming over the windows and porches of so many lovely Montgomery homes, may have something to do with the present climatic conditions. In making Mont gomery a city of beautiful residences, and handsome streets and driveways, the erection of elegant public buildings and churches is keeping becoming  pace. 1.s.. +:-s-. ..:='s:. @@@"
 The new Exchange Hotel Is a splen- did specimen of the best style of pres ent day architecture, graceful in out line and decoration, and comparing fla vorably with any hotel in larger and more pretentious Southern cities.
 There Is one great charm in Mont gomery's progress in that it has not yet fallen a victim to the "sky-scraper habit" which has possessed so many other ambitious towns. Where land Is so easily obtainable. as It is in all cities of this section. 1t seems tremendous pity that any building should be erect ed more than twelve stories high in any town. In many of the handsomest, most artistic cities of Europe. very tall buildings are prohibited by municipal authority. It would be fortunate

Louis David, familiarity known as "Louie," after the manner of the French, was born in Lowndes County, Alabama, in May, 1872, and was the only son of MT. L. David, an artist of talent and culture, and his wife, who was one of sturdy Scotch family of Kirkpat- ricks. He combined the traits of both parents; the honest candor of the Scotch could never have been bluntness in Louie, for 1t became a pleasing frank ness In the polite mannerism of his French ancestry, which was as natural to him as to breathe. He was brought to Montgomery in childhood, where his gifted father painted portraits which still adorn the homes of many citizens. and the mother gave herself to the hus- band and children she loved. In early boyhood Louie showed a predilection for the study of medicine, but ill-health befell both parents and the youth bravely took up the duties of life. About two years ago he was married to Miss Jimetta Thomas. Their brief welded life was happy. The young wife. his sister. Mrs J. R. Holt. and his father, are left to mourn for him. His illness was short. The first crisis of typhoid fever yielded to medical skill and de- voted nursing, but sudden chill ended In death. He was baptized in the Ru- man Catholic Church, the church of his
 
 vices of the Presbyterian faith of his Scotch mother. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. pr. Patterson from the First Presbyterian Church, August '. 4;30 p. n, and were followed at the grave by the impressive ceFe- monies of The FraternaI Orders of The Eagles and The Woodmen of the World. With the parting glow of the setting sun, he was left under the flowers he loved to wear. We shrink from Death in any form and we shudder when the grim enemy lays hands on the young. Dearly as we love the old. we find con- solation in the thought that they have lived They have performed their parts In the meIodrama Of life and are passed up higher But why this? Already he had done we'll. had won the esteem of his fellows; could he not have been left until the harvest? The ways of God are darkness" In youth Death seems a strange dispensation-an un- finished story, a mutilated painting, broken statue. The words of another may comfort the sorrowing: Tn that great day when we meet again, the veil will have fallen away-you will see again all those you love-you will know them"

condition if such bans could be en- gaunt, hungry-looking buildings rear their ambitious heads, far into the fields of the upper air." in many in- stances utterly regardless of architec- tural grace or beauty.
 One of the most compensating changes noticeable in Montgomery is the removal of the old buildings which rendered unsightly large part of Cap itol Hill. When properly graded and plated. no city can boast of a more magnificent site for a State Capitol than can Montgomery. Whatever al- terations are to be made in the present Capitol, so rich in It's matchless memo ries of a glorious past 1t is a cause of great congratulatfoE that the original building is to continue very much the same. It should always remain a mo- ble monument to the glorious achieve ments of Alabama statesmen, and Ala bama soldiers. and stand as reminder of the four most momentous years in Alabama history. E..
 Necessary additions should not inter- fere with the dignity and beauty of the building as 1t now stands.
 The old landmarks of Montgomery in many instances, are rapidly passing away, giving place to evidences of in- creasing wealth and prosperity, but many beautiful reminders of other days continue to hold their own, unaffected by comparison with any form of mod ern splendor
 But above and beyond all else. dear familiar faces remain to smile a wei come. and dear, familiar voices to bid one God speed, and to make one know that there Is and will ever be, some thing far beyond bricks and mortar, dollars and cents, and the debasing cOmmercialism of other and less for tunate towns.

through the city and suburbs is a con- stant surprise and revelation. The extension of municipal lines. the lovely suburban and city residences: the building up of former vacant lots. and waste places; the establishment of beautiful, up-to-date parks: the excel- lent street railway systems; the hand some stores and business houses; the well-paved streets. together with the unusually attractive combination of grass plots and tiling sidewalks. easily place Montgomery among the most proRressiye and beautiful of Southern towns.
 It is difficult to realize the fact, that statistics gave Montgomery in 1880 only a population of 7.5oo, and that from such a limited number 1t has quietly but persistentiy grown into a city of such noble proportions.

 Other cities, in other Southern States may adopt the creed of bare, preten- tfons, vulgar commercialism, and Yaunt their blatant modernity in the face of the disgusted on-looker. yet Mont gomery can claim as her own all that is worth having in social and business life. without the sacrifice of a single ideal or the destruction of a worthy tradition.
 A few years ago, Montgomery in August, meant Montgomery fast asleep, or so nearly so, that every one left her to her repose, in the semi-tropical heat. Now, 1t Is astonishing to watch the busy crowds, on Dexter Avenue Commerce Street and other business

To many of us, who find ourselves anchored by an untoward fate, for the time being, in other localities. Mont gomery must always remain the spot most to be desired, outside the Gates of Paradise.
 Within sounds of the gentle murmur of the Alabama as it wends its way to the Gulf, the glory of Gods sunshine, first kissed open, the hitherto unseeing eyes of many of us. Here the memo ries of childhood are interttwined with the fragrance of Southern blossoms and the loving association of true and tried friends. while pictures of lofty ideals peep out from the past, ideals which have made life worth the living, or what is better, worth the enduring.
 Montgomery. as perhaps no other city, combines the new and the old. in a wonderfully fascinating way. Into an atmosphere still redolent with the recollection of noble deeds, and worthy achievements of men and women of -Fare =. endowment and cultivation, there has come the bustle and progress of these modern years, when new creeds await acceptance at the hands of the descendants of those earlier Montgomerians. whose fortunate ears did not catch even a whisper of the present-day commereialism.
