fee of Gray Silvers on Tuesday after
noon and appointed q committee con-
sisting OF James r. Thmpson, G. w.
Boyer. Gray Silver and J. B. Fisher to
invoice the assets with a view of
winding up its affairs.
Inwood Park has been in existence
for eighteen years. During that time
the sum OF $4,000 has been expended.
It has been used as a picnic grounds
and camp meetings have been held
there. Leading political parties have
addressed large audiences on the
burning questions of the day within
its precincts The resort was started
by George L. Sencindiver. Charles Hol-
lis, ]. w. Strong, George M. Bowers.
The present proprietors feel that
there Is no money in conducting the
resort in the way it has been conduct
ed. The profit to each individual has
been too small to warrant its contln-
uance under the present Arrangement.
Those in a position to know say that
the cutting off of the rebates by the
railroads has cut off revenue OF
$1,000 per year which renders 1t inn
possible TO make any money Accord
ing to calculations made by the execu-
tive committee they would be by the
end Of the year $500 or $500 in debt
Ii IS thought that If two or three peo-
pie should take charge of 1t they
could make good thing out Of It. The
trouble with the present arrangement
has been that no one has been able
to give his whole attention to it.

COL. THOMPSON PAYS TAX
Settles With City For Laying Of
Cement Walk,
PAYS S349,o4 FOR 200 FEET
He Said That City could Not Compel
Payment, But Lawyer Convinced
Him Of His Liability.
AVS s349.84 FOR 200 FEET

Whether a citizen can be compelled
to pay for cement walks when they
are laid by the direction OF the city
against the wishes of the citizen or
whether the city must pay is Ques-
ton which has been decided In favor
of the city through the acqulescence
of Col. James f. Thompson.
The matter came up for discussion
when Col. Thompson said that the
land on Queen street by the S-ige,
of which he is the owner was not suf-
ficiently settled to warrant the laying
of the cement walks and he notified
the authorities that he would not pay
the assessment. The authorities
thought that they had the power to
lay the walks and collect for the work
when done. SO the walks were laid
The amount was assessed against Col.
Thompson. He didn't refuse to pay
but he consulted his attorney His
lawyer notified him that the city had
the power to lay the walks and collect.
So Col Thompson gave in gracefully
and the matter was settled insofar al
he was concerned. He has paid over
to the city clerk $349s4 to cover the
expense of laying about 200 feet OF
walk. Another strip of walk In the
same section owned by Mrs Susan
Cunningham has not been paid for
and an action will be instituted to en-
force payment.

 And the inference and the sequel:

 Third.

NORTHERN FARMER IS DELIGHTED
 WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY LANDS

The following letter from Bent. B. Smith, has been received by The Ad- vertiser. Comment is unnecessary. the letter speaks for itself.
 An incident occurred a day or two ago in connection with the efforts of the Commercial Club of this city to induce immigration from among the good Swede and German farmers of the North to this County. which seems to me to attract the interest of the public and to be fun of suggestion for our own future conduct of affairs.
 Some weeks ago I received letter from a Swede farmer in Northern Illi- nois by the name of Robert Carlson. The letter was practical. business-iike and to the point. It seems he had read letter which had written for the Commercial Club in the interest of farming, briefly detailing my own ex- perience in this County. Attracted hy the details, especially of hay-making, he declared his intention of coming and seeing for himself.
 Thursday afternoon, a big boned. husky Intelligent looking man of middIe-age, with big hands hardened with daily toll. walked into my ofhce with the laconic remark. T am Rob- ert Carlson"
