Our New Minister

DenmAn Thompson and George W.
Ryer's new rural comedy Of New En-
gland life. "Our New Minister, "
which is now in its second year, will
be presented at the Opera mouse June
o. This is the first play dealing en-.
tirely with country life that the au.
thors of "The Old Homestead" have
produced since that dramatic ever.
green first saw the light Of day seven
teen years ago. Our New Minister
is distinct novelty and one that will
doubtless hold the stage for long
time to come. Both Mr.. Thompson
and Mr.. Ryer found the subject an
easy one to write upon. but the chief
difficulty lay in fitting 1t to the public
mind, which is rs changeable az a
Thermometer and very hard TO please.
The scene is laid in small country
town known as Hardscrabble, N. H..
and the character drawings are from
life. 1t will be presented by the orr.
ginal cast. and a superb scenic pro.

Lincoln Park Paragraphs
Some Random Notes Gathered byte Records News

Mr.. Harris uf Park avenue who
has been very sick. is some better
this week.
Lincoln Park is actually such a
nice quiet place to live that there
really isn't much news.
4 Farmers who have grape vineyards
on the Park report that there will be
an excellent crop of this fruit
vordie Potter of Columbus. Ohio,
nephew of J. H. Hobson, arrived Mon
day for a visit with his uncle during
the coming summer.
Everybody on the Park were trad
ing in Canon Saturday afternoon. The
farmers who were not in town were
in orchards spraying their fruit trees.
Miss Cora woodford, who came
down from Taclamur where she has
been teaching school the past year,
to graduated from the South Canon
High school. returned to her duties
Sunday.
Mr.. ]. H. Hobson moved into his
new residence last Friday. The new
home contains seven commodious rooms
and is mark of improvement on the
Park. This is Mr.. Hobson's second
year on the Park.
All the ladies in Lincoln Park are
saving their ohoio st flowers for
Decor alton Day. Lincoln Park
population will make splendid
aquisition to the parade Saturday
with their beautiful floral displays.
Mrs. woodford frightened our
Lincoln Park trip last Saturday by
giving us beautiful boquet Of snow
balls. By the way, Mrs Woodford
has one of the most prolific SNOWFALL
bushes we ever saw. We estimated
that there were over Thousand
blossoms on one bush. We're not
stretching it just because she gave us
a boquet. either.
E. O. Michod sold his fine 1z-scre
tract in Lincoln park to John Ritz
man last week. Only last year Mr..
Michod erected fine twelve.room
house with all modern improvements
also \ large and commodious barn on
this farm. It is both valuable and
attractive site and the consideration
was $40, 500. Mr.. Ritzman already
owns four other fine tracts in Lincoln
Park which speaks for itself that he
has great faith in the progress of this
suburb in the future.

Our good citizen on the Park, a
reader of the Record. took some in.
terest in giving US few "reminiscences
of the seventies. Said he, I'm 1878
l used to travel over this park on
horse back when their wasn't any
thing here but grass and cactuses for
miles. Ny COWS used to ford the
river and get over here and I would
have to go after them. You can
hardly believe that have seen this
Park grow tree by tree, house by
house, board by board until today 1t
is very garden spot. q magnificent

the work of our man aud money.

Generally speaking, most of the
Lincoln Park citizens are duite en-
thusiastic over the county fair propo-
sition. One farmer said, it was just
the thing. Every farmer in Lincoln
Park is in for 1t. Another said.
when asked for his opinion on the
subject. Ibid you see that fine dis
play we had at the Ho ii ;ultural meet
ing last. winter? Well, that was
simply immense. that display was
loaded on the cars and hauled to Dem
yer SO the people Of that part of
the state could get to see some fruit,
that was fruit. 1t layed in the
Capital building in that city several
days. That display convinced me that
we could have as good fair here in
Canon as in the state Another
good farmer assured us that Lincoln
park would do her duty towards
such an enterprise. To be pointed,
most all of them wanted to know IL
it really was "a CO." Thers is no
denying 1t. that il Lincoln Park
make up their minds that
9 county fair is a good proposition
and they want capital pushers, need
not worry about the success Of their
enterprises and the practical invest
ment of their money. One rancher
on the Park declared that Canon had
