SEATS FOB FARMERS.
Columbus Provides Places for Visitors
to Sit Down.

Columbus, June City Attorney Al.
T. Williams conceived the idea some
time ago that the people and especially
the farmers, should have some suitable
place to rest when they visited the city,
and not be compelled to occupy the
stairways and other inconvenient places
for such purposes.
He proceeded to put his plans into
execution, and obtained permission
from the county commissioners to place
seats on each side of the square. be-
meath the shade trees just inside the
hitchraek- In company with Mort
Nichols he called upon the merchants
and business men and succeeded in
raising enough money with which to
place three seats on each side of the
square.
This viii be a great convenience to
everybody and IL seems strange that the
plan was not carried out before. PeO-
pie who attend the Saturday night band
concerts will find them very acceptable,
and in fact the seats Will come in handy
upon all occasions.
