MT. LAKE PARK

1t was good to hear Mickey's Band
playing on Saturday. Even though it
had to be an auction sale of lots which
brought them out. Seems too bad that
we cannot have the old-fashioned band
concerts during the summer months.
Everything is gradually drifting back
to the "old days.. Just why we can
not say-perhaps people are getting
tired of the new scheme of things.
Time was when every hamlet and
village turned out for the regular
Saturday night concert.
Beginning Monday the Tennis
Tournament will be the attractiorsor
the week. This tournament brings
many people to Mt. Lake. We have
heard that perhaps next year there
will be no tournament-somehow it
gave us sick feeling. Just the same
it may be true, unless the patronage
is unusually good such will be the
case. Two things we may keep-the
Camp meeting, which always brings
to mind Mr.. c. M. Hood, of Mounds
vile, and his splendid group, and the
on to those two everything is not
quite lost.
Today, trying to boost the tennis
tournament, we happened into the
office of a professional man in Oak
land On one door we saw the words
"Cheer Up, on another door Don't
Worry" Considering all things we
rather got a lift out of those two
signs, and so we, and many others, are
hoping that maybe all it not lost at
Mt. Lake Park.
