years. Two years ago she resigned her
position to take care of her aged moth

Wednesday, June r., is the day
set for completing the race track on
Steele park. 1t is hoped we can get
out large gathering, for aside from
the work on the track itself we are
contemplating making an entrance
from the corner on thes depot road,
also trimming the trees back of the
cemetery, putting in rustic seats and
making picnic ground overlooking
the track and ball ground. This
undertaking seems to appeal to all
and by our combined efforts it can
be accomplished, filling a long-felt
want. Tell your friends, so all will
be sure to know the date this time
and bring out enough to put through
both projects. Mr.. Oliver brothers,
Jr., will tell you what tools to bring
for the track and Mr.. Lewis Merritt
the picnic ground. These two men
have kindly offered-to superintend
the respective work. Rememberth

however. was not 80 completely per-

The fact that heels and toes are the
