 THE AGE-HERALD ! BesseufoF. Ala. Jan. 6

Canvass for funds Monday and Tuesday netted over $1,e0o for the new athletic field to. be constructed on the park site recently bought by the city near Jonesboro. The canvass will be continued until $5,000 has been raised. It is thought that this amount can be secured in a weeks campaign, and a committee will be appointed for this purpose.
 This is the first definite steps taken by the new park commission, which decided that the first improvement of the park should be the construction of an athletic field. It Is thought that $5,000 will care for this improvement, and to secure this money plan was adopted whereby panels of fence around the park are to be sold to public spirited citizens for $50 each. This money is payable in five, months, and each panel sold will bear the name of the donor.
 The commission aFpointed 2 com mittee composed of John, Snider, Dr. two short canvasses this week sold more than 20 panels. Most of these sold were in the business section, and a canvass will be made later among. the larger = firms and corporations. The commission plans tot erect the athletic field before Nsumnier, and to make this park center. for athletic events of the Bessemer district. There are a large number of base hall and football teams alrea 1y obliged to use the park next year in event, it is completed by the first of the season.
