That justly popular resort, Wheel
ing Park, never presented more
beautiful nor attractive appearance
than it does at present, and those
who have visited the enclosure during
the past few weeks have showered
praises upon Superintendent August
Rolf and the force under his control.
The past fall, winter and early spring
were given over to incessant work in
every part of the grounds, with the
result that the warm rains and the
sun Of the present month have
brought out grass and leaves, and
buds and flowers, until the entire en-
closure is delight to not only the
eye, but to all other senses as well.
One feels a sense of exilaration i'm
mediately the grounds are entered, and
even an hour spent at the Park is
good for both body and mind The
ensuing ten days will see the grounds
in all their summer glory, and from
the end of May until September no
more inviting resort could possibly
be found in all this part of the
country. Just at present a force Of
men are engaged in setting out hun
dreds of flowers and plants, and with
these some striking effects will be
produced. During the past cold sea-
son some new walks were laid out,
notably fine one from the main en-
trance through the grounds and past
the shore of the lake to the rear en-
closure and this will prove itself de-
cided improvement, as it not only af-
fords a short cut, but obviates all
hill-climbing.
A great many outings, picnics, etc,
have already been booked for the COM
ing season. The first event of the sort
was the picnic and outing Of the Mar
tins Ferry high school, which took
place last Wednesday, and attracted
a large crowd. For June the follow
ing dates have been taken: I'd, City
Hospital; Sth, A. 0. U. W.; 10th,
Arion Singing Society; ed, Royal
Arcanum; Goth, Teachers Convention.
On Decoration Day the Opera House
orchestra will discourse both dance
and programme music all afternoon,
and until II o'clock at night, and
preparations will be made for large
attendance.
Hereafter all music by the Park
management will be in the rear en-
closure, unless otherwise specifically
stated, and meals, lunches, coffee, ice
cream, etc., will be served at the
Casino restaurant. The restaurant
near the entrance will be closed ex
cept by special arrangement with Col.
Rolf, or upon the occasion Of an extra
ordinary attendance of people, when
it will be opened by Col. Rolf as
matter of public convenience. There
will be music by the Opera House Or
chestra next Sunday, and on every
Sunday thereafter until further no.
tlce
Early as it is in the season, many
people are already visiting the Park
for a quiet hour or two, and in no
other wav can so much of salts
faction be obtained as by spending an
hour or two amid the trees and iiow-
ers of this resort.

The Dollar of Our Daddies.

Just little dollar, on it's mission
sent, makes lot of people glad each
time the coin is spent. You pay it to
the butcher, for meat to give you
strength: he pays it to the grocer
from whom it goes at length, some
pretty bit of cloth or lace his better
half to buy, or helps to get her winter
hat to make her rival sigh. The dry
goods man sends on the coin to pay
his market bill, and though the coin
is often spent it stays a dollar still,
and every time tits spent at home,
some act of good is done, in "boom-
ing" local industries. ere setting of
the sun. But if you take that shining
coin and break the local chain, the
chances are that from afar twill never
return again. If once it passes
out Of town, the butcher and the baker
the grocer and the dry goods man the
cook the undertaken, the carpenter the
carriagewright, the blacksmith, every,
one, will loose the chance to touch
that coin ere setting of the sun. Just
keep the little coin at home, just keep it
moving we'll and every time it changes
hands somebody's goods twill sell
That single little dollar has thus a
wondrous power, to make somebody
better dozen times an hour, 1t paws
the bill and wards off i'll. and ne'er its
power relaxes, to soothe the doctor,
buys the coal, and pay for clothes and
taxes. American Economist.
