Has Gainesville Lost, or is She Losing, Her Attractions as a Picnic Ground and Place for Pleasure. Gainesville was once a favorite resort for picnicking. Why is it, that now even Gainesville picnic crowds go elsewhere for pleasure and amusement? While our Chamber of Commerce, and Civic League, and City Fathers are thinking on their way, has this thought escaped their attention? Gainesville is losing her attraction as a favorite tramping ground for pleasure-seekers. We are sitting quietly by with our hands folded, while smaller towns are taking picnic crowds for the rea son they have better places to amuse folks. The Presbyterian Sunday School went to Helen for their annual outing. The First Methodist Sunday School went to Helen for their an nual outing. The First Baptist Sunday School tried to go to Helen for their annual outing this morning but got rained out. Do you think that if we had a nice park, made of the present old and dilapidated city park, our peo ple would have to go elsewhere for their picnics? What are we doing, or what are we going to do, about this thing? Something must be done. If we don’t make some arrange ments about a pleasure resort, as well as a summer resort, the crowds that have come to Gainesville every summer are going somewhere else. Don’t ever fool yourself that peo ple are coming to Gainesville and spend their money to sit around in the weeds and scratch chiggers, for they are not going to do anything of The kind. We can sit around with our hands crossed a few years longer and some of the smaller towns will be as far ahead of us as Gainesville is ahead of Smituin. There has got to be some money turned loose somewhere and put into beautifying a park for Gainesville. If this has to be done by popular subscription, that will be as good luck as any. But it must be done. The city could put out a small out lay, and the county could furnish convicts for a few days, and the present city park could be beauti fied. There is no prettier natural scenery anywhere than can be-found in the old city park. Let our progressive business men look into this. If you want business, then first get the people here who spend money. If you want business, keep our own home people here who spend money. If w 7 e run off for our pleasure other people will notice it and follow suit. “Over Niagara Falls” This photodrama in four parts, which was recently completed at the famous Niagara Falls, contains some of the most startling and ex citing scenes ever witnessed. It will be presented at the Alamo Theatre next Thursday, June 25. Mrs. W. J. Comer of Athens is visiting her daughter. Mrs. T. E. Atkins, on Boulevard. GAINESVILLE.

You can help a great deal in the Park Clean-Up movement for July 4th by placing your dry goods and grocery orders on Friday for Saturday and Sunday needs. By doing this you will enable every employer and employee to help in this great work of cleaning up the City Park, and to share in the big barbecue that is coming. The idea of clean-up day is the most patriotic movement that our citizens have yet planned and it’s of direct and personal interest to every man, woman and child in Gainesville and surrounding territory. So show your patriotism by doing all your shopping on Friday, the day before, and come out on Saturday and lend ing a helping hand. Miss Nellie Poole of Cornelia has been a guest of her cousin. Miss Irene Davenport, this week. SI.OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 25 BARBECUE AND CLEAN-UP AT CITY PARK TO TAKE DAY ON JULY THE ATH. Every Man and Boy in Gainesville to Take Part in Cleaning Up the City Park — Rakes, Shovels, Hoes, and Mattocks will be Used with a Vim. Do you want a nice City Park for Gainesville? Then if you do. you are going to have a chance to help make one on July 4th. And here is the way: The Mayor and Council and the Chamber of Commerce will assemble on the public square at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. July 4th. with wheelbarrows, rakes, shovels and every kind of working implement that you can imagine, and they will be joined by every civilian who cares to make a pretty park for the city. After assembling on the square they will march en masse up Green street to the old city park, and will there proceed to get busy, and don’t you forget it, for after the work is done there will be something else to it. You see, there are always two sides to. a question, and that rule goes here. A barbecue —a good old time barbecue—furnished by the Chamber of Commerce, will be ten dered to those who work or can show conclusive evidence beyond the shadow of a doubt that they have worked. No Adullamites ad mitted. All of the business houses, nearly all all of them—you will see the list in the Eagle this week—are going to close their houses Saturday, as it is July 4th, and go to the p&rk and wck. So please bear this in mind, gentle housewives, and do your shopping on Friday before the 4th; if you don’t, you must not get mad if you call your merchant and can’t get him. This is a laudable purpose, and what we want to do is to get the At lanta Spirit into it. The Gainesville Spirit is just now in its infancy, and we can’t say Gainesville Spirit above a whisper. It must be thoroughly understood that this is going to be under the supervision of the Chamber of Com merce and the Woman’s Civic Club, and the Eagle is going to do its very best to help make it go. The city of Gainesville should be ashamed of itself for not having a pretty park, with as many summer visitors as she has had every year from time immemorial, and not a place in the world for any amuse ment. Now that the Chamber of Com merce and Civic Clnb have taken up the fight for growth and improve ment of Gainesville, we are with them, and will do all possible to help them. Let every man and boy in town join in the clean-up work on the morning of July 4th. and very soon thereafter a concrete swimming pool will be built and other places of amusement will follow. Talk it. Advertise it. Tell all you see, and those you don't see send word to, that all of Gainesville is going to work iu one spot on Satur- I day. July 4th, and that spot will be | the City Park. j If you are too fat to work, get a | lean man in your place. Let everybody help. Re-Elects Members.
