into the spirit of the occasion
with such zeal and enthusiasm
that trees almost volunteered to
came at their bidding. The pa
irons Of the school also caught
the mania of tree planting so
much so that it was difficult to
find room for all the trees that
were brought. There was a lit
tie misunderstanding as to where
different ones were to plant, and
some were disappointed in not
getting to plant where they most
desired. But we hope that they
will appreciate the fact that
where so many are to plant that
it is difficult to give each his es-
pecial desire. The main object
of all was to get trees planted on
the campus and that now is done
and we hope that all will join in
the glad feeling that comes from
seeing that the children's public
play place now bears the appear
ance of a human habitation. By
the combined efforts of teachers,
pupils and patrons there were
planted in the grounds 183 trees
with room left for 6 more that
will be set at once. We feel that
our effort has not been, by any
manner of means, a failure, for
the State authorities undertook
to plant 120 trees on the capitol
grounds on Wednesday, Nov. 13,
and only succeeded in planting
80. We undertook to plant 169
and planted 1873. Now that is
not so bad, is it. We never saw
people more anxious to do a good
deed than they were in West Liz
erty last Friday, and we feel real
glad that we undertook the en-
terprise. We wish to thank all
who helped and those who could
mot help but wished US well in
in our labor Of love for the child.

We promised last week thai
we would publish a list of all who
took part in the tree planting
but we will be unable to do so
for while we were gone to the
woods to get trees many planted
whose names we did not know
and on that account we couldn't
give all the names, so we viii
just say that we think mos
everybody in the neighborhooC
who could do so planted a tire,
or helped others to do it. In pub
fishing the list of those who las
week had volunteered to plant
tree, we omitted, by mistake
the name of the first man VIII
volunteered to plant Judge &c
Ferguson. We mention this il
justice to him as we made tn
mistake of leaving his name ou
of the list last week He plant
ed his tree and it is now a livinj
monument to his memory, as ar
all others to those who planted.
In the years to come whel
these shrubs have grown to state
ly trees, children of future gen
erations will play beneath ther
and bless the memory of thos
who provided for them in year
agone.
We love the spirit of universe
, help and can gladly shake hand
with him who is willing to pre-
vide for the comfort of other
when it works no inconvenience
