Tho Park Irojcct.
The Columbia Herald proposes Z new
attraction for our little town in the shape
OF a park, the public ground and that
now used by the high and grammar
schools to be appropriated for that pur-
pose. Our citizens want it and so do we
But the question is, Can We have it?
Possibly. The park will not be largo
one, but can be made very
handsome affair, as the ground is
very level. On Jan. :, 1882, an election
for trustees of the public grounds will be
held. The Herald advises to elect good
men, who are in favor of park, and who
will devote some of their time to tho pro-
jcct. Half Of these grounds are used as
playground for the pupils of the advanced
schools. Now, by having a park, can those
who want it SEQ the school children sui
fer? We hope not. IL their play
gound is taken from them half Of
their schooldays' pleasures arc spoiled.
Our Columbia boys arc not the kind
who can content themselves by walking
through the grounds or sitting under
tree reading. They want more athletic
sport, baseball, etc. If their grounds be
taken let those who take them secure
another place for their games Ii the
question is put to 4 vote we will certainly
have 4 park, providing the school board
