A GOOD SUGGESTION.

AS one among the many, wish to
emphacize the statement made in the

tainly matter of vital interest that we
should do it in the most elaborate man.
ner, and to do 80 we must get at it at
once.
The old methods have become thread
bare and something new and attractive
must take their place. To begin with,
believe it to be an unnecessary waste Of
time and material to annually construct
cloth buildings 10 the park to be re-
moved every year without any perma
uent improvement, and to avoid this
would urge that we Immediately pro-
ceed to construct commodious build
ing in the city park to be known as an
auditorium, which shall remain as per-
manent fixture, to be used not only for
Peach day but for public affairs Of other
nature. This can be done at an ex-
pense not to exceed $4,000 and the cost
can be paid through q sinking fund from
each years contributions until settled.
am thoroughly convinced that now
is the time to make an effort toward
placing our city iu position among its
sisters in the state, to which it rightfully
belongs.
Make it general meeting place for
conventions and in fact generally ac
cepted place for all kinds OF assem-
blages. This can not be done by sitting
down and allowing others to get every
thing in sight, but it can easily be ac
complished if we put forth a reasonable
amount OF exertion. Let US attend to
these matters, and that at once.
