the school auditorium Thursday
night to packed house, was brim-
full of fun from beginning to end.

almost continuous round Of applause
and laughter from the audience. The
cast Of characters included about
thirty Of the representative men and
women Of he town. Mrs. Beulah
Fitzgerald. Of Atlanta. trained the

noticeable Improvement in the past
few weeks, since our "City Fathers"
asked for the cooperation Of the
ladies to help them plan and direct
the work toward transforming this
neglected eye-sore to park beau
tiful." Not only did many Of the
ladies suggest and direct and also
give plants from their yards, but
with their own hands they assisted
III planting them. so eager were they
to have a part in accomplishing this
lonE-fcl: need Of boautifyng the
park. which is ideally located and
adapted for both day and moonlight
picnics and other outdoor social
gatherings, and will no doubt be a
popular resort during the summer
months. In a few weeks or months
the result Of the work from planting
cannas, chrySanthemumS, shrubs,
etc, will give pleasing returns. not
only to those who were most active
In the good work. but to the public
IN general who pass this way and
necessarily spend an hour or so in
waiting to make railroad connec-
tons. This is movement in which
every citizen Of Seneca should feel a
personal pride and interest in help
ing to make the park an attractive
and restful place.
