The town authorities are removing the
fence about the park, preparatory to
erecting an iron one. Members Of the
council, consisting of Mayor Webb, and
Messrs. Dye and McDaniels will soon go
to Williamsburg, to investigate the
lighting plant of that place. There is

official. From yelling. fight here and
there, the breaking of beer bottles and
such other demonstrations the night
