ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We have nothing but commISeratlOr
for those compelled to leave the Parf
in the late summer. The fall months
this year have been most delightful
While the brilliant foliage of late Sep
TENDER and early October has disap-
peared yet the outlines of the noun
tains, hung with transparent curtain
of purplish haze, present an entirely
different aspect, but, perhaps in les
ser degree, equally inviting. Wher
one drives over the hill tops there is
unfolded, as far as the eye can reach
vast stretches of scenic beauty unsur-
passed anywhere.
Boyish pranks should not be taken
too seriously unless they become an
noying or destructive. Lately much
complaint is heard of parties of boys
and youths proving about the Park
at night, playing the part of peep
ing toms" or causing fright and an
noyance by rapping on windows OF
shaking doors of occupied dwellings.
These practices are dangerous. Just
the other evening party of ladies
were enjoying a game of bridge in
one of the cottages when they were
annoyed and badly frightened by what
subsequently proved to be a crowd of
boys prowling about the house. The
hostess secured revolver and fired
this time into the air. Perhaps an
other would not be so careful.
Now, generally speaking, we are
fond of boys (and girls) but we want
to sound a note of warning to
those who chase over the Park at
night annoying residents. 1t is not an
exhibition Of the conduct of gentle
men nor does it make for good reputa-
ton and character. 1t would be a
source of regret, not only to the
friends of the bows. but to the parents
as well. if some of them should be led
into the commission of serious
offense
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
L. Echard are very much pleased to
learn that their son Hugh. who was
50 seriously injured last Friday morn
ING while duck shooting is gettir =
along SO nicely at the hospital. The
family have the sincere sympathy of
the entire community. as does also the
victim of the distressing accident.
The bowling alley is receiving a
general repairing and coat of white
paint. 1t will be a big improvement
and viii be greatly appreciated by
everyone. Will White is doing the
work.
j. A. Enlow is taking advantage Of
the spring-Iike weather to cut noun
tain laurel for the making of his rus
tic and artistic outdoor furniture.
