Right gladly will go,' answered
Uncle Wiggily speaking like Robin

III write what 1 want down on a
bit of white birch bark" said the
muskrat lady. "then you won't for
get in case you have an adventure"
Nurse Jane wrote down what she
wanted on the piece 'of white birch
bark, which the animal folk use in
stead Of paper If they need it. Then,
holding the bark in his paw. Uncle
Wiggily hoped over the fields and
through the woods until he reached

inferior domination; hence the old Ku
Klux klan organization was an inn
portant factor and of fundamental i'm
portance.
The Civil War left the Southern
States in one vast field of devasta-
tion. The Southern people went to
work to rebuild and regain their form
er status, and in two decades ascom-
plished more than mankind has ever
known Binder the conditions.
Our dfnditions at present are much
better lan they were then to forge
to the Mont. 1t is safe to say that
the era$ Of business adjustmen
through which we have been passing
has beentthe most severe, generally
speaking, THAT we have ever expert
enced SINCE the Civil War. And in
the face of the many disappointments
which we have been obliged to meet
and the losses We have sustained, it
may have a tendency to cause Us to
adjust ourselves to new conditions,
and result in our ultimate good. If
we give proper consideration to the
losses which we have had, we may use
the reverses Of the past as stepping
stones to future success.
in order to grow, develop and pros
crop everyone should useevery energy
to promote industry, to be cc-workers
and to bear each others burdens az
much as possible, in order that nor
NAL conditions may again exist in the
near future.
Doubtless, many Of us during the
past two years have sustained losses
but it does no good to grieve over
spilled milk; but it does do good to
try to catch another COW. AS for
myself, am holding the old cows
tail for dear life, exerting every en-
ergy to hold her in the middle of the
road that | may safely reach my
destination.

AFTER WAR PERIOD
COMPARED TO PRESENT

The following article by Mr. j. 7
Conway, former citizen of Hemp
stead County, is a splendid recital
of the wrecked and ruined condition
of the South Immediately after the
civil war as compared to the pres
ent stringent times. Though brought
about by different circumstances the
conditions are not altogether dissim-
liar:
Some assert that financial affairs
and general conditions in this coun-
try are worse than the conditions that
existed at the close of the Civil War
In my opinion there is no compar-
ison. We have only to inspect the
past and behold the Southern soldier,
without money and without change
of clothing, returning to the Sunny
South, once as beautiful as the green
isle of the sea but then overhung by
a vast pail of desolation; returning
to find his inheritance swept away,
True, his land survived, but with it
obligations which helped to swell COM
mon ruin.
The planters who represented the
wealth of the Southern country were
laboring under the severest embarass-
ments; reduced to absolute poverty;
and many Of them were stripped of
all available means.
Some crossed their arms in gloomy
dependency, incapable of rising to
manly resolution when they saw their
homes destroyed, their farms devas-
tated, their families in distress and an
impoverished and exhausted commun-
ity which had but little to offer them.
A great many Confederate soldiers
returned to find that their farms had
Southern land after the war was
worth but a trifie of its former value.
When people are reduced from af-
fluence to poverty, especially during
old age, it has a tendency to blight
their lives. This ruin broke down all
energy in multitudes and rendered
many insane. Highborn Southern la
dies, widowed by Northern bullets,
became teachers or governnesses. In
comparatively few cases did the peo-
pie retain their estates, and their ef-
forts to keep up appearances were
pathetic.
One by one domestics were dismiss
ed; dinner parties became rare; state
ly coaches lost their paint and be-
came unsightly and rickety.
Carpetbaggers from the North
flocked to the South infaming the
negro's sense Of independence" and
his desire to get into politics. The
negro expressed his views on public
affairs thus: "De bottom rail am on
de top and we's gwinter keep it dar!"

red blood in their veins to submit to

MRS.A. E. MONROE
DIES SUDDENLY
SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF INDl'
JESTION AT FAMILY HOME
HERE.

The announcement Of the death Of
Mrs. Alice h. Monroe Thursday morn
ing, cast a pail of deepest sorrow
and gloom over Washington and sur
rounding country.
About three years ago Mrs. Monroe
suffered a slight stroke of paralysis,
followed by another during 1921, and
since that time she has not enjoyed
the best of health, but, possessing
cheerfulness and determination, she
remained active until two hours be-
fore her death. She was out of the
house about z o'clock when seized
with an attack of acute INDIGESTION.
Assisted to he'd, she rapidly grew
worse until death ensued at 8 o'clock.
Mrs. Monroe came to Washington
as a small child from Mechlenberg
County, Va, with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. r. B. Dugger, and their 9TH
er childrn. In 1868 she was married
TO Mr.. A. d. Monroe, who died in
1916. Since the death of her husband
she has lived a quiet life, deep in the
love and devotion of a large family
and the profoundest esteem of hun
dreds Of warm friends who paid glow
ing and ardent tribute when, with
bowed heads and sorrowing hearts,
they crowded the sanctuary where the
beautiful casket was placed amidst
the most elaborate and harmonious
floral setting possibly ever seen In
Washington. The beautiful flowers,
emblematic of all that is tenderness
and love, in fitting and appropriate
designs, came from numerous sour
ces.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church, to which she
had belonged since childhood, at 3
o'clock Friday afternoon by Rev. L.
C. Gatlin, pastor, who recited a splen-
did tribute to the life and character
of one whose passing occasions so
much grief. He was assisted by the
Rev's W. I. Sullivan and w. +. Ell
more.
The funeral procession to the Pres
byteTian cemetery was one of the
longest ever seen in Washington.
There the pent-up passionate grief
of her loved ones burst forth when
the mortal remains were tenderly
placed beneath the sod
A distinctive mark or symbol, prais-
worthy and known among their
friends, was the mutual love and de-
votion of mother and children.
The pail bearers were: W. II. Etter,
Jno. r. Card, Jno. L. Wilson, ]. W.
Butler, T. G. Haynes and j. +. Gold.
Mrs. Monroe possessed a most ad-
mirable Christian character, patient,
ever kind and considerate, she radi-
ated everything that loving mother
could, and to her friends she always
had words of cheer and never spoke
unkindoly of anyone.
Surviving Mrs Monroe are three
sons and five daughters, as follows
Messrs. J. S. and l.. F. Monroe of
Washington, a D. Monroe of Pales-
tine, Texas; Mesdames Susie VIM
berly Barrow Of Nashville, Mrs. G.
W. City of Washington, Mrs. Chas.
j. Barnett of Texarkana, and Miss Ell
la Monroe of Washington and Mrs.

ers and three sisters also survive, as
