Gated on Cape street, a half
mile from the |. o. o. F. hall.
This plot of land was very good
and centrally located, but the
price was too high, $3.50. So
that committee was discharged
and another committee appoin-
ted, consisting OF w. l.. Huck-
abay, l.. G. Smith and Lee Will
liams. This committee will try
to purchase a five acre piece on
the Plummer place, about one
mile from the l. o. o. F. hall, also
located on Cape street. This is
a most beautiful location. The
ground is level and cleared and
large enough for all purposes,
except a race track, but the rae
ing can be done on the beach,
which is about a half mile away,
or if allowed on the public high
way. This tract, it is said, can
] be bought for $3.50. This land
belongs to Mrs. Plummer, who
lives in California. A subscrip-
ton was circulated the same
evening and $430 pledged, and
it is thought no difficulties will
be had in raising the full
amount. The following per-
sons subscribed: Lee Williams,
$50; S. G. Irwin, $100; Mr.. Hays,
$100; AL Swartz, $50; M. Wy
CANT, $50: A. l.. Thomas, $50;
l.. C. Smith, $50, and Elmer Pat
rick, $50. The time is short for
this matter to be closed up but
must be done by the 7th of May
so it can be brought before the
Court at that time.
