great, and for fellow like me who
cannot travel it is a literary treat.
The Chautauaua ground is green
spot in Waxahachie and it does my
children more good to go there than
to any other place | know of | hope
the city will buy it and open it up
/ as a public park where the little
| children can have place to so even
ings and get little OF natures bles-
sings. Then we could all get on the
street cars and go out there Sunday
evenings, have few hours Of fresh
! air and conversation, the children
could romp. we would all get ae-
IGuaiuted and like each other better.
We would come back refreshed and
relaxed and wouldn't have the head
ache as most OF us do who have TO
stay In stuffy hot house all day.
Waxahaehians. let's buy that park
and our children will rise up and
call us blessed Buy 1t for the chill
dren. They will need It. and there
lis nothing too good for the Waxa-
hacbie children.
