is rite which is dear to the heart of
every one, man woman and child
who loves TO honor their country's
heroes. And so we ask all to come to
Jacksonville cemetery Friday morn
ing with wreaths and garlands of
flowers to deck the graves of those
old soldiers who sleep meath the
shade of the trees.
After the services at the cemetery,
the people will assemble at the court
house by ii a. m, where there will
be memorial address by an elo-
quent orator of local celebrity. Then
will follow the delivery of the cross
es of honor to seventeen old soldiers,
whose names follow:
SN Garter, VIM. S Compton,
Josiah Caudill, III Caldwell, Lewis
Evans, G ii Greever, John ID Greev-
er, Ballard V Harman, James a
Lambert, Marion Mcclure, A J
Mcclure, l. 5 Rich, J NJ Rose, Nj l.
Shrader, Elijah Sargent, a a Thomp
son, M Nj Pruett.
Then will follow the dining TO the
veterans, TO which the public has so
generously contributed and aided
the Daughters oil the Confederacy.
Mr.. James Whitman and MIR. Henry
Bowen, who acted so efficiently as
Marshals last year will be assisted
by Mr.. Frank Lewis and will take
charge of the march from the school
TO the cemetery and back TO the court
house. There will be copies of an

Washington The City Beautiful

a number OF foreign visitors 10
Washington for the first time, dur
ing the Worlds Sunday School Con-
vention, Temarkd that il was beyond
question the most beautiful CITY i'm
the world with the exception, per-
haps, of Venice. One OF the Cana
dian cities, Toronto, perhaps, is said
TO be the cleanest city, anC an ex.
tensive traveller says that Pasadena.
California, is the prettiest city in
the United States, made so by its
beautiful residences, walks, parks
and great variety and profusion of
flowers and shrubbery. Washington
combines nearly, if not quite all
these elements OF attractiVeness, plus
extensive and magnificent public
buildings, which her rivals do not
have. She is in reality the City
Beautiful and Grand, and worthy
altogether OF the great country whose
capitol city it is. No attempt is
made here at description of the state
ly yet plain buildings and monu-
ments. They are more attractive
the ofteneI they are seen. A visitor
is impressed with the wonderful wis
dom and foresight of the founders of
the city. 1t was so laid out and
planned as to make crowding and
congesting impossible. The streets
and parks are wide-very wide il
you are tired and forced to tramp
and on no occasion 'can they be
crowded. Pennsylvania avenue, the
Capitol building, the hotels can be
crowded, but seventy five thousand
people, turned loose on the streets
would make small show after a few
moments scattering. 1t is also one
of the cleanest cities in the world.
AN army of men are busy day and
night with broom and cart, remoy-
Ing every particle of dirt and Trash.
Every shower of rain washes the
smooth pavements as clean as can
be, and the wind fails TO "kick up n
dust, - on the asphalt walks and
green swards of this cool, shady city.
Washington now has the largest
railroad union station i'm the United
States, If not in the world. 1t is
said that the entire standing army
of the United States can be p1t in
this building. 1t is too big and
grand TO be described on paper.
Washington has all the depot she
will need for the next one hundred
years. One building, however, the
city does need, and that is a hall
with a seating capacity sufficient for
the largest convention. Convention
Hall where the Worlds Sunday
School Convention met, has a seat
ing capacity of 10, 600 but on more
than one occasion during the con-
vention there seemed to be as many
on the outside who could not get In
as were on the inside, and il is pre.
dicted that within few years great
hall Will bebuiIt capable of accom-
modating any crowd at any time
This article was commenced onI,
with the intention of insisting, tha
every man, woman and child of thi
country should see Washington City
at least once. 1t is our city-th,
peoples city. 1t was built and i
maintained by the peoples money
and by all means, everybody nugh
TO see what we have. It would pa,
largely to set aside a yearly appro
priation out of the public treasur,
to pay the expenses OF every Ameri
can citizen TO Washington once Il
his or her lifetime, who is unabI
: to pay such expense himself. b
all means, see Washington.

Had Worst Seasons.

The boys who have "pitched,,
their acre for bumper crop, are
down In the mouth" The cold
weather has chilled their ardor as
well as their corn. "IIere IL is" they
say, June LIST, and corn not visible
above the clods, and the weather
still cold enough for overcoats and

the outlook Is not optimistic. The
gardens, likewise aIe no good
can't grow In such weather as this.
The prospect for n big showing at
the Fair this fall In the agricultural
department Is not natteIi ing. How
ever IL must be remem bered that
there have been other seasons inst
like this one. The last days of Nav
and the first days of June 1907 were
very cold. Some OF lis who were Ina
Richmond and jamestown at the
time recall that overcoats and fires
were necessary. w. O. Whitman
recalls 10y certain entries i'm his nc
count book that some years ago his
hands hoeing corn had fires i'm Tho

Some of US recall big snow ON
May 22nd Sunday night some wears

only nor the worst May and June
weather We ever had by "A whole

Opposite Ideas of Ninth District

Bristol, May 31.-State Senator
Roland e. Chase, of the Third Vir-
ginia district, who was here this
week, and who is Republican,
said that It would be practically i'm
possible for the Democrats TO elect
Hon Henry G.. Stuart to Congress

A STATEMENT is MADE.

To The Grand Junction Sentinel:
In your issue containing a report
of the decision rendered in the Mes.
senger case at LaJunta, Colo. the
following facts should be supplement-
ed.
Mr.. Messenger, who is not a Chris
tian Scientist, had physicians en-
ployed and in attendance upon the
three children who died. For the
children who recovered he had
Christian Science treatment, and did
not have medical treatment except in
the case of the child, Arthur, upon
whom a physician and nurse were
forced into attendance by conrt or
der when he was under Christian
Science treatment.
Christian Scientists are interested
in the case because they believe that
1t is unlawful to compel medical
treatment, especially in view of the
fact that two children and the par
ents, who relied entirely upon Chris
tian Science treatment, We're healed !;
while three other children died under
medical treatment.
The judge decided in the case of
the child, Arthur, that there was ne
glect; but not in the cases of the
three children who died under the
care of the doctors.
