Points of Interest at Washington City

Washington on account of the fine climate and good weather which has kept away all traces of hay fever. The longer 1 stay the better I like it and if I had real good job I think I would like to live here and I am not sur. priSed that those who have hold of the public teat should be 10th ! to turn loose.
 But I do not see much chance for me, as all positions seem to be crowded except the two posi- tions belonging to Arkansas in tn q Hall of Fame" and as they are to be filled by dead men with out a salary,I do not want either.
 The Capitol, the White House, the Treasury and many of the other old government buildings belong to a form of architecture of antebellum days, altogether at variance with modern buildings. They cover great deal of ground and are very low, showing that they belong to an age that knew nothing of the electric elevator.
 The White House has very plain old style small pane 12 and Is light windows. but when it is remembered that it was the first public building erected here and that Washington selected the site and laid the cornerstone in 1792 we wonder that he could have planned for this day and genera tion a building that would be satisfactory considering t h e great improvements that have been made in ail lines since that day John Adams was the first to occupy it in 1900 and in 1874 it was partially burned by the British. and in restoring it the stone was painted white to obliterate the marks of fire since which time it has been called the White House. It remained as originally built until 1903 when some slight additions were made by adding approaches on east and west sides. The beautiful grounds surrounding it adorned with shady trees. grassy lawns, Towering shrubbery and playing fountains lend to it a romantic and picturesque effect.
 During the last few years several modern buildings have been erected which for beauty and magniticience cannot be eX- celled. l mention among them the Congressional Library, Post Office and State, War and Navy buildings as most prominent. These are from five to eight stories and are models of modern architecture in all of it's beauty and grandeur
 Washington has long been made famous in the lavish dis play in the headquarters of the various nations of the world as they are represented in em bassy and legation. They adorn var ious fashionable sections of the city as do the homes of. many of the more wealthy senators and representatives.
 An automobile ride with com potent guide made trip of this character very interesting to us All who visit here go to see Washington Monument and take the elevator for the top, 555 /: feet towarG the sky, where fine view can be had of the city anc surrounding coun try. T

OUR HUNT.-Since the last issue Of the
Banner the local editor has spent two days
at the home of Mr.. VIM. Roach, who lives
in ward five, near Ivan. Our mission was
primarily to join Mr.. Roach in a hunt on
his "game preserve" This we did. Early
Friday morning we were stationed at
spot where the fat and noisy mallards are
wont to feed and as soon as they put in we
began our fusilade Of chilled shot. We
bagged three that morning, and learned
how. After that it was, of course, easy
no trick. The host and We editor bagged
enough ducks and quail to feed company
of hungry soldiers (nearly). And we had
plenty of fun, and an abundance of well
prepared game on the table. Mrs. Roach's
bird pies are more than Tempting; her
baked and stewed ducks cann0ts be sur
passed, and she knows how to bake a big
brown biscuit just to turn. All, how we
were fed! and the time we had! What
would life be without such an occasional
outing? Thanks, Mr.. Roach, and may we
again meet some day on that .preserve"
of yours.

Postal Clerk
Admits Guilt.

Brunswick, Ca, July 23.-Em-
NETT B. Hamilton has been placed
in jail at Savannah charged with
robbing the mails. He was a mail
clerk on the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad. Recently
many valuable letters have been
lost. He was caught with a mark
ed bill in his possession, and ad-
mits his guilt.
His arrest took place in this
city and was made by Postoffice
Inspector Lewis, Barry and Cline,
who have had the case under inves-
tigation for some time.
Hamilton was a postal clerk
running between Brunswick and
Oglethorpe. AS developed in his
preliminary hearing today before
Commissioner Elliott in Savannah,
Hamilton for a long time system
atically robbed special delivery
letters, which passed through his
hands. The immediate cause of
his arrest was the disappearce of a
special delivery letter sent as a de-
coy, which contained currency.
Clerk Hamilton spent some OF
this money in a Brunswick saloon
after his arrival at noon yesterday,
which money was recovered, and
being identified, brought about his
arrest.
Hamilton has been in the service
to fifteen years. He for
merly ran between Macon and Pal
atka and afterwards on the Atlanta
Macon and Macon railway post
office. He resides at MOntezuma,
Ca, where he has wife and three
children and is we'll connected.
