MT. LAKE PARK

According to an ordinance passed
by the Mayor and Town Council last
Saturday evening, it is now unlawful
to shoot or otherwise kill and destroy
grey squirrel and quail, or bob white,
within the limits of the Park. The
penalty for violating this ordinance
is not less than five dollars, nor more
than twenty-five, for the first offense,
and not less than twenty-five nor
more than fifty dollars for each Of
Tense thereafter. This is good news
for all who take pleasure in the wild
life of the Park. --.
p. The streets, alleys and ctllverts are
undergoing repair under the personal
supervision of the Mayor.
The Joke is on one of our citizens
who stood for ten minutes in front
of the court house watching an ex-
pected cat and dog fight in the rear
of the DIR. Selby home. Much to the
disgust, after spending some valuable
time, the fight did not occur. The
animals which appeared to be about
engaged in mortal combat, were
merely iron images.
We are advised that at the last
conference of the M. E. church at
Fairmont, Rev. Gregory Blakely was
called to the pastorate of the church
here to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Rev. 1. S. Middaugh.
While we are glad to welcome Rev,
Blakely as the resident pastor, at the
same time the many friends (and
they are very many of Rev. and Mrs.
Middaugh will regret to see them de-
part from the Park. They have in
deed won the love and esteem of all
with whom they have come in con-
tact.
