PLAY GROUNDS FOR CHILDREN
A Suggestion That Is Interesting
and Timely.

"A Suggestion That Is Interesting
and Timely.
Editor of The News. There is
nothing better or more suitable for
the children at play in the evenings
than the beautiful, large shady oaks
on college street near the triangle in
front OF the home of Judge Edwards.
rms week, after hard study and the
close Of the school room, about twen-
ty OF these children, bright school
girls and boys, have enlivened college
street with their game of ball and
happy voices.
We need these play grounds for
our Dawson children. Let the moth
ers of each family on the streets do
nate something that will interest and
beautlty the spots under the electric
lights by having swings, jogging
boards, anything, to amuse the chill
dren when they gather under these
bright lights on warm summer even
lngs, while their parents sit on their
splendid verandas watching their in
nOcent games and merry sounding
laughs.
There are quite number of these
attractive spots with electric lights
inviting our children to come out and
play in the open air on warm summer
evenings. On the grand, shady
Church street, at the corners of
Thornton, Orange and Stonewall
streets and also at the corner of
Fourth avenue parents could soon
have play grounds by having vines,
grass and swings to make the small
est child happy; with cool places
where girls can sit and read, and
sometimes have their nice work bas-
kets" to while away the time.
There is no town in Georgia so
well constructed for these pleasure
plats under the electric lights as
Dawson.
The day appointed for home-clean-
ing was good, and everybody was in
terested. Now fix up for the chill
dren and prepare for the warm sum-
mer evenings. We all know that the
street hands will gladly help the
ladies in anything they may suggest.
