We have all along considered the city
park public property The pccple-all
the people, black, white, yellow on
gray-had to pay for it, and should be
protected in their rights to visit it, On
last Thursday evening, May :, the park
was aglow with music, and many chill
dren from far and near went into the
park TO hear the music Among the
many that went were the Gilkey chill
drcn and several other colored boys and
girls. While they were standing list
ming and admiring the music, crowd of
white boys cspied them, and with rocks,
stones and other material of danger
Gus kind, made the little Gilkcys and
their colored associates take to their
heels. We know that the good white
people Of this community do not en-
dorse the action Of this band Of eXpell-

like to know where the keepers and
