srs. Mather and Wiley gave short
talks following the singing.
Next on the program came the star
attraction Of the day. Mr.. Mather had
secured the original register of the
school. in which had been enrolled all
the old pupils. He started in with the
regular roll call. just as he did on the
seventh of October, 1872, when he first
assumed the position of teacher in
the school. AS their names were read
off. the old time students stood up
and gave short account of their
achievements since leaving the old
Bethel school. Many, of course, were
absent, and their reports were given
by some friend or by letters, but a sur
prisingly large number answered
present" when called upon. There
were nine pupils who studied under
John Harlan during the first year of
were meeting their former teacher
for the first time since they left school
seventy-one years ago. Another inter
esting group were the twenty-five rep
resentatives of Mr.. Mather's class of
thirty-nine members, which attended
the school during the year 1928. Sew
eral had come long distances just for
the reunion; notably Mrs. Will Clark,
(nee Rosa Hiatt) who came all the
way from Chattanooga, Tenn, for the
celebration.
When the entire number of former
students had been heard from, let
tiers were read from three old pupils,
Olive Tillson, of Berkeley, Cal; Will
liam Vannuys, of Pasadena, Cal; and
Minnie Tillson, of Fairburn, S. d.
After the letters, John Harlan, the
first instructor, made a short talk |;
then former teacher David Thomas,
who asserts that his enrolment was
the largest on record in the Bethel
school, spoke. N. e. Davis a more re.
cent teacher, read two parodies on

POOR PARK. SERVICE
Light Meals Not Served at
Glen Pavilion.

There are a number of people who
believe that public park should in
clude more features than a carp-in-
tested pond and beautiful scenery.
Here is a kick from one of the patrons
of Glen Miller park:
Editor of the Palladium:
For many years Richmond has boast
ed of having one of the finest equipped
and most beautiful natural parks in
the state. No one will dispute that the
Glen is not a beautiful natural park,
but what can be said about the equip
ment?
Recently a number Of Greensboro
residents went to Glen Miller park to
enjoy holiday. Several who went on
the outing did not take any lunch, as
they understood it was possible to Sc
cure sandwiches. coffee and other
eatables at the pavilion in the park.
When time for lunch arrived several
OF these people went to the stand in
the park and tried to purchase some.
thing to eat. and drink other than pea.
nuts, popcorn candy. lemonade and
pop. -~e.r---- -----.---,
Nothing doing! T~
Why the people of Richmond toler.
ate such service in their most beauti.
full park is unanswerable 1t seems
that when man pays three hundred
dollars for a years privilege to make
barrel of money he should at least
be forced to conduct an up-to-date es-
Establishment where refreshments of all
kinds can be secured
Another fact for the people of Rich
mond to think over before they grant
another man the pavilion privileges of
the Glen. three hundred dollars a year
is too cheap a rental. Daily it is under.
stood there is at least one picnic in
the park and in many instances there
are more. They all experience the
same difficulty.
The board of public works should
before they lease the privileges to an
other person increase the cost from
three hundred to five hundred or q
thousand dollars year and include
in the contract a sanitary refreshment
stand with light lunches.

SHOULD NAME THE
PARK FLtECr DALE.
Daniel Surface Thinks 1t Is
Better than Morton
or Hawkins" Park

Il Instead of being close to the solu-
ton of the question of selecting a
name for the new park in the Hak-
kins addition the officers of the park
company are having more proposed
names heaped upon them every day.
The third. suggestion. together with
the reasons for using it, has now been
recorded
Already the suggestion of Judge
H. c. Fox that the new municipal play
grounds be called Morton Park" in
honor of Oliver P. Morton. the war
governor of, the state, and one of
Wayne County's most conspicuous
men, has been considered, and along
with it the rival idea of naming the
tract Hawkins Park" after the old
family which at enc time owned both
the land where the new park is locat-
ed and the site of Glen Miller Park.
Now Daniel Surface, former post
master and editor of the Palladium
wants the park called Fleecydale. He
says:
LAS to a name for Richmond's pro
posed new pleasure ground, / respect
fully suggest that no change in the
name which that locality has had fol
perhaps hundred years be made
The name, Fleecydale, is eminently
fitting. The Century Dictionary thus
defines the word dale: A space OF
level or gently sloping or undulating
ground, between hills of no great
height. with stream flowing through
! It, No more exact description of the
,, locality known as Fleecydale could
possibly be made. The historic ole

should never be removed-supplie.
