land north of the railroad was ac-
quired and decided to the town, to be
used as q park. So far very little
has been done to make ttis spot
beautiful and attractive, and 1t is
| our purpose this morning to stimu-
late an interest In making some i'm
prOvements. Al this season the
weeds might be cut off, few pleas
ant walks established, few seats
put In and some mounds built and
set in grass. At the proper time
some flowers could be planted, which
would grow and blossom and reflect
the dazzling beauties and splendors
of an everlasting sun. AS the park
is located near the water tank ar
rangements might be made with the
railroad officials for o water supply
and fountain put in. Things are
large or small only when it comes
! W anu we leel sure the
park will be the pride of the town
if we will only get together and do
something to make it pretty. Stick
a pin here!
