Cobb Playground Gift
Os W. J. Hill to Town
i “Thronateeska Park,” the play
ground at Cobb, mention of which
! was made recently in the Times-Re
' corder, was donated to that com
, munity by W. J. Hill, and not by
Hill & Thomas, as stated. The fact
that Messrs. Hill and Thomas are
busness partners led to the error be
ing made, and it is at the sugges
i tion of a resident of the community
that the Times-Recorder cheerfully
; calls attention to the fact that Mr.
Hill alone donated the land upon
which the park is located, and which
promises to furnish so much pleas
ure to every resident of Cobb com
munity.
