question of procuring profit of small
Importance. Wherever there are people
employed in commerce, trade and manu-
features there the needs of public parks
increases steadily with tho growth of
the population.
The wealthy in overy community are
few, tho poor and those of moderate cir
cumstances the many. Tho first can
leave their homes at their pleasure and
seek rest and recreation wherever fancy
may determine. Tho masses have few
days of leisure, which as rule, must be
enjoyed near homo. For all these the
park is u resort and il we'll located and
properly cared for its attractions in
crease every year, and with them the
number of its frequenters.
TO the clerk confined long hours at
tho desk. to the artisan weary of work,
to the wage-earners in mills and fact
les, these open breathing places arc Of
inestimable value. This is we'll under
stood in New England, whore many
cities that have one or moro small
parks, arc increasing their number and
extending their areas.
The strain Of our intense American
life calls for such places of mental re-
freshment and exhilaration. They also
increase that local pride and content
and appreciation Of the city which pro-
mote Loyalty and good order.
j. G. Rawn stated that a nucleus for n
park had already been formed around
Crystal Spring, and it was hoped by
cooperation with tho Crystal Spring
Land Company considerable addition
might be made.
Col. LOWS thought that tho only large
areas available for parks were between
Roanoke and Salem.
Tho principal subject discussed. how
over, was tho proposed boulevard be-
tween Roanoke and Salem. Mr.. Rawn
thought that for SIS, 900 mile a boule-
ward could be constructed with two ten
foot walks, n double dirt road fifteen
feet in width, with macadamized
center thirty feet wide. The express
sion Of opinion favored tho feasibility
Of tho scheme by seeking the co-opera-
ton of the land companies between
Roanoke and Salem.
The appointment of committee of
live to exchange views with the Salem
board of trade on the subject was voted,
and tho appointment of the committed

treat her to tho same dose. She i'm
mediately departed.
Then the white caps called upon

lish to the nnighbors on the penalty OF
twenty-five lashes what they had done
and that they had whipped the Hartman
woman because of her bad name. When

Her body was torn from head to foot as
