cherries as one cares to see things.

the Telegram has been putting up from
year to year and Thursday Elliot & Win
chen began laying cement walks on
either side of the court house, extending
from the pavement in the rear of the
building to the front fence and thence
to the gates. It Is the intention to
throw the gates open and make a park
out OF the meadows. Rustic seats viii
be placed along these walks and Other
provisions viii be made to make it an
inviting place as public park There
is some talk of tearing the fences away
altogether but the court has not fully
decided on this.
