THOUGHTS FOR 1912

Hope and Pray, but Hustle al
ways.
Don't look for opportunities.
Make them.
He has a right to criticize who
has a heart to help.
Maybe life doesn't really begin
at forty. but at forty we be-
gin to realize what a mess
we've made of it.
Sleep. Riches. and Happiness to
be truly enjoyed must be in
terrupted.
Don't spoil life by removing the
roughage.
Don't be afraid to make honest
mistakes. All progress is a
matter of trial and error.
Why find fault when there's so
many better things to find?
Following the lines of least re-
sistance is what makes men
and rivers crooked.
Don't shun the lowly job. BE
prepared to do lot of things
you don't like to do. and a
lot of things you don't have
to do.
Choose this day the habits that
You would have rule over you.
There is no defeat except from
within.
To sing in the sun is easy: to
sing in the rain, victory.
A winner never quits and a
ouitter never wins.

Early Homes of Old Suitland

A few Gays ago The writer visited Suit
land. Nd. ar old settlement which lie,
not far beycEd the District limits. on q
line about with Pennsylvania avenue
Sc. The object Of this visit was 70 view
the new Federal building now under
construction on a part Of an estate Of
800 acres, purchased BY Col Samuel
Taylor Suit about 1865 and for which the
town nearby was named.
Today this large building said to cost
something like SO 200 900. seems 70 be far
from complete and though It is said that
the Government viii soon begin occupy
ing quarters there. this would hardly
seem possible.
Judging by the surroundings 1t is a
question, too, just how the employees will
reach the building from the roadway.
Al the present time as far as the eye
can see in its direction there is only
mud. mud everywhere. CWaen this dries
up-ye gods. the dustD
But there are many nice residences IN
and around Suitland, a considerable
number being probably owned and oc-
cupied by persons employed in WASH
ington and by a few who are Of the
early settlers OF this locality, who, in
Col Suits day, included quite a num-
Der OF old Maryland families
According to an early atlas of Prince
Georges County, Suitland appears as a
part Of Spalding district No. g. and
when Col Suit moved there shortly after
the Civil War, in order to reach his
property from Washington he had TO
travel by way OF the Good Hope road
and the Washington and Marlboro turn
pike to where It intersectS with the
Silver Hill road and then southwest
wardly TO his farm. This he found to
. be quite a roundabout way. And it was
not long before he conceived the idea
Of running more direct road from his
farm to the Capital, which resulted In
The laying out OF the Suitland road
Through his property TO the District line
This he later presented 10 Prince Georges
County.
Col. Suit was only a near Washing
tonian, having been born in Bladens-
burg in 1884, the son of Fielder Suit. also
born in this nearby Maryland town, but
the colonel soon found employment in
Washington as an errand boy in the
dry goods store of Darius Clagett g. Co,
then on the north side of Market Space
between Eighth and Ninth streets, ac-
cording to the city directory, but more
likely on the northeast corner OF Penn
sylvania avenue and Ninth street.
Old Business Corner.
This is. indeed, an old business corner
and has been steadily occupied for store
purposes for more than a century. The
present building is probably the third
TO occupy this site. It's first oc-
cupant, so far as known, being Han
son Gassaway, who engaged here in
the hardware business, Nathan Jewett
probably being the owner of the prem
tSes. Then came Darius Clagett & Co.,

he never rebuilt the old residence, he
continued to live at Suitland and en-
gagged In several more or less unsuccess-
full ventures. OF these might be men
toned the part he took in the construc-
ton of two railroads intended to supply
the citizens of Washington with water
side resorts easy Of access to the city.
One of these roads was finally completed
and became the Washington & Chesa-
peake Railroad, while the other-the
Washington City & Point Lookout Rail
eroad-probably was never completed and
consequently was great loss. In these
ventures Col Suit is said to have had
associated with him as promoters Garret
A. Hobard, Vice President of the United
States; George M. Robson. q Secretary
of the Navy, and the late Postmaster
General John c. New.
Col Suit was active in Prince Georges
County politics and served term in the
State Senate. His title Of colonel had no
connection with military affairs and was
given only as mark of respect.
Just what prompted Col. Suit TO buy
the large estate later called Suitland, is
not definitely known, though 1t may have
been due to a desire to be near his sis
ter Catherine, who had married a few
years before Peter Gibson Grimes, whose
father, Thomas Grimes, was given tract
of land in and around Oxon Hill by the
Government, we are told, for his Serv-
ices in the War of 1812-1815, in which he
served first in the Maryland militia and
later in Capt. William Moore's Company
of Infantry I'd Regiment (Brents), Dis
trict Of Columbia militia, and was in the
service at the time of the burning of the
Federal buildings in Washington Dur
ing his lifetime Thomas Grimes op-
Grated a ferryboat for a time from the
vicinity of Fox's Ferry to Alexandria and
at other times he was a justice of the
peace. He was married twice, first to
Catherine McCarty and lastly to Eliza
beth Cadle, and had large family by
both wives.
Peter Gibson Grimes, son of Thomas
Grimes, had eight children, including
Ella Frances, Samuel Taylor, SaIlie Suit,
Minnie Gibson. Edith Marie, Hattie
Louise, Frank Hume and Mabel Cath
crime. Sallie Suit Grimes became Mrs.
Thomas Fenwick, and Mabel Catherine
Grimes married Baxter Mckinney.
Peter G. Grimes was a sheriff during
Civil War days, a dead shot and quite
a wrestler in his younger days. For
many years he kept crossroads general
store at the southwest corner of Silver
Hill and Suitland roads, where he was
the postmaster. During the war of 1861
to 1865 he proved of valuable service in
apprehending and capturing deserters
from the Union Army who passed his
place of business. His old home still
stands hundred or so feet westward
from the corner where his store once
stood.
On the Silver Hill road at Suitland,
opposite to where Col. Suit built his
spacious mansion. is the old Crosier
home. where some years ago the writer
had the pleasure of meeting Miss Flora
E. Crosier. whose father, Horace Crosier,

Many of the early residents OF Suit
land lie buried in st. Barnabas church,
yard, near Oxon Hill, and here the
writer found the grave Of Col Suit,
his grave being marked with a modest
but neat stone, and next to him Is the
grave of his sister. Mrs. Kate Grimes.
Nearby lies Col. Suits father. Fielder
Suit, who was born August 10, 1905. and
died November 8, 1870. According to
Taylor Grimes of this city, grandson Of
Fielder Suit, this worthy ancestor was
conducting a hotel in Upper Marlboro
during the Civil War, and that, because
of his intense loyalty he kept the Amer
lean flag floating over his hostelry at
all times, even during the dark days
of the war. and no trouble ever ensued
for his doing so.
In looking over the many tombstones
in this little cemetery. the writer was
surprised to find one inscribed: Tn

neighborhood is the reference to it by
James Croggon when he says:
Where now nearly the entire square
Is covered by one mammoth establish
ment, c street, or Market Space, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, little
enterprise was shown in the early DAYS
of the century despite the fact that by
1900 the east half of the square and
other portions were sold. There were
but II lots in the original plan, and of
these j. R. Dermott bought the three
forming the southeast quarter, fronting
Seventh street and Market Space;
Thomas Lansdale the northeast quarter,
Seventh and D streets. and lot on
Eighth street, and A. Moriarty the lot
at Eighth and D streets. The ground
valuation was but u cents a foot in

came slowly. Part of lot 2 had been
leased to John Harrison. who three years
later transferred 1t to Robert Harrison"

eals of Thomas jefferson Are Battle Cries TODAY

"a bill of rights is what any people is
entitled to and which no government
can deny or rest on inference"
A consunlmate manager and tnspirer
of men, he wrote in similar vein to
friends and followers throughout the
country, put the people on the march
and forced into our fundamental law
the Magma Charta of American rights.
He demanded the freedom of speech,
to the end that in America men might
speak their honest thought. without fear
or favor. . 49,.
He demanded the right of peaceable
assembly, that hen might declare to the
Government resting on their consent.
their sovereign will
He demanded the liberty of the press,
that the sovereign people might be put
in possession OF the facts relating to
their interest and freedom.
He made the freeman's home his
castle into which the most powerful in
the land dare not enter without due
process of law.
Thus did he insist on putting the
liberty of the people beyond the reach
of transitory power.
But even so. the time soon came. for
we were not entirely free from fascistic
thought, when reactionary forces chal-
lenged the Bill of Rights with the alien
sand Sedition laws. We see men dragged
from platforms and shackles put upon
the press for daring to criticize those in
power. Even in America the ermine
of the courts was stained in the SEN
fencing of patriots to prison in defiance
Of the Bill of Rights.
And again We see jefferson step forth
