Lakewood.
This is new park near CALI
polls, just opened to the public by
Mr.. Martin McHale. Yesterday
we took two of our little grand
daughters, and went down and
spent the afternoon at this park.
The grounds are being laid off
into nice squares, walks and drives,
elegant retreats, &c. Patent swings
dot the grounds in every quarte";
the artificial lake contains about
two and half acres, and OH this
the visitors enjoy themselves boat
riding; the fountain is magnificent,
and at night the electric display is
wonderful and worth going hum
dreds of miles to see; the grounds
at night Ere beautifully illuminat
ed by hundreds of colored arc and
incandescent lights, making the
grounds almost as bright as day.
1t will in time become most
popular resort, and Gallipolis
should take deep pride in it.
Those of our citizens who desire
to spend n pleasant day and even
ing, should visit this park. No
Intoxicating liquors are allowed to
be sold on the grounds, and the
best of order is maintained every
where. Take you children and
have days outing at Lakewood.
