elected favorable comment from the press of
the state. 1t has aroused positive enthusiasm
among our people. who are fully alive to the
importance of securing a park which will not

county. but will likewise serve to keep forever
green the memorable achievements of the
horoes who contended for the masterery on
the field of battle thirty five years ago. How
many of the brave men gathered here in those
dark days are living today? Few indeed must
be their number. To commemorate the deeds
of heroism they performed here we have
petitioned the general government to estab-
lish on the battle grounds great park to be
kept under government supervision and
beautifed in accordance with the views of
its engineers and landscape artists. When
completed and thrown open to the puplic it's
enchanting natural and artificial beauties
would attract thousands of visitors annually.
The battle grounds must belong to the city
before the park is established. They can be
purchased for the paitry sum of two thousand
dollars, and the money must be raised as soon
as possible The ladies of the city have volun-
teered with enthusiasm to undertake this work.
They are now arranging to give series of
entertainments for this purpose. The nrSt one
will be given in the kriehn q Wilker building
on Franklin avenue next Tuesday evening,
Feb. 4, from to 10 o'clock. Admission free.
An appetizing lunch will be served, and all
are more than cordially invited to be present.
