MT. LAKE PARK

From now on we shall predict no
more spring weather. Every sign was
wrong for spring here. Even the birds
fooled us and themselves. The only one
who wasn't kidding" was Brother
Grounding, and he meant all he told
us and a great deal more.
Easter in the Park was very quiet
day. Many families had guests for the
day, but few persons were out of doors.
The day before was real winter and
since then it hasn't been what you
might call balmy.
Everyone was glad to learn Monday
that Rev. Garrett Evans had recovered
his automobile which was stolen on
Easter evening while the pastor was
conducting services in the church. Late
Monday some one reported car which
was deeply sunk in mud near the lake.
1t took a garage wrecker to pull it out
No wonder the miscreants had to leave
it there. So far the guilty parties are
still roaming.
