PARENTS APPROVE
PLAYGROUND PLAN

That the plan OF Commissioner
of Public Works McGregor to al
low the children to play in the
streets near their homes has re-
ceived approval of many parents
is shown by the number who call
ed upon him yesterday. The idea
of using the Fairgrounds of the
public schools was not found
practical, as many of the young
sters live too far from the schools
to go there for play. Most of the
parents favor the commissioners
plan, as in this way the children
are kept near their homes and can
be called at any time and also
watched and kept out of danger.

4'BARGATN DAYS.

NewtUn, a progressive little city on
the A. & v. raIiarfoad has adopted the
plan, SO often urged inn these columns
of promoting the retail business of
the town. by the estab blisi1ment of a
bargain day. Tor tine benefit of out
of town customers, ,and which we are
glad to see lis beginning to be fa-
vorably considered by the RETAIL mer-
chants association of Meridian.
AS we have before said, the plan
has never been abandoned, as far as
we can learn yby any enterprising city
that has once adopted it, and we feel
assured that effect will be- given to
the plans now being formulated in
this city Inn that behalf.
Birmingham has its bargain days,
once a week, i'm which the railroads
cooperate i'm giving special low rates,
and teth fare of people who spend a
certain reasonable amount, lis reihn-
bursed. Newton has a different plan,
Offering premiums for different pro-
ducts and appointing ONE day in each
MONTH for the occasion 1t dis sug-
gested that the Birmingham plan be
adopted by Meridian with bargain
days to begin with, twice a month i'm
stead of once a week or' monthly, and
tho s1a4rEppssaafi0nl TJf fine railroads
sought im that behalf
We believe that such am institution
would bring many Thousand dollars to
Meridian that would otherwise not
.ome hfther, and many times reim-
) qurrse the cost of the undertaking to
t S promoters Meridian Star.
