Hence, the Brightwood Association
has never discouraged the forma-

its original territory, but rather
has encouraged that course, since
1t appreciated the force of Coop

has never looked upon with favor
the limiting or circumscribing of
its territory upon which encroach-
ments have from time to time been
made.

Many years ago when the Fort

recognizable, a part was purchased
through patriotic motives by Mr..
Cox and restored as nearly as pos
sible to its original condition, and
especially where Lincoln stood and
saw the Confederates defeated in
their purpose to capture the Ma
tional Capital. Since then this
gentleman has permitted the Grand
Army and the Sixth Army Corps

certainly mono haye done more for
Brightwood than Mr.. Cox. He still
resides in Emery Place, the home
of the late Major Emery, and bids
fair to see many more summers and

Louis Shoemaker succeeded Mr..
Cox and served continuously for
nearly seventeen years, until his
death. November "a. 1916. He was
born in this vicinity at Cloverdale
on Peirce's Hill on Rock Creek,
and saw Brightwood grow from q
few dwellings and a farmhouse
here and there to good-sized
community. He gave over much of
his time during his incumbency to
working for legislation for this
section of Washington, and many
of the improvements can be traced
to his activity. He was greatly
beloved and his death caused gem

Flower Rogues

The Times has repeatedly said some
mean, hateful things about flower
rogues and is going to say some more
Of the same kind of things.
Not only do these rogues rob the
vases placed on the graves of loved
ones, but they dig up the flowers
growing in the square; they open The
gates to persons yard and walk in
and pull the choicest flowers and take
anything that pleascs them, they take
ferns and potted plants from porches
and even carry the flower stands
away.
A lady in this city who has suf-
fered at the hands of these thieves,
has put steel trap IN a nest of beau
tiful flowers and somebody will get
caught and it is devoutly hoped it will
be the right one. 1t is very disheart-
ening to plant flowers, work them and
then have thief steal in and pick
the beautiful blossoms.
