Let Have II.

The good ladies of the community,
tired as they justly may be of seeing
the unsightly condition of the park,
are trying to make some arrangements
to beautify it and make it little more
presentable. 1t is very much to be
hoped that the city, the county or
whoever owns it will make them a fee
simple title to it, in which event we
are fully satisfied it will quickly become
thing of beauty instead of something
of which we all are ashamed as it is in
its presnt condition.

Off For Rackcashe.

John M. Farra and R. L. Elkin left
nlast Saturday for Rockcastle Springs
for weeks fishing, going through the
country and driving mule. 1t seems
rather strange that these gentlemen
should take this long trip in view of the
fact that the new game laws are being
so rigidly enforced and some of our
local Nimrods are occasionally getting
a bite," in Dix river. However, they
will have the advantage of having no
one to deny the authenticity of the
miraculous stories of their catch which
they will tell on their return.
