The Town Beautiful. Anent Mr. Speer’s timely sug gestion in the “Weekly” as to fix ing up a “park at Big Springs” for recreation, picnics, etc., would it not be still better first to improve the little center one in middle of square, more convenient, as an evening resort after toil of long summer days is over, thus adding to the beauty of the town and af fording a place of rest and gather ing for all, by scattering seats over lawn, which keep mowed and brightened with flower plots here and there; also erect a pretty orn amental summer house that may serve for ice cream festivals and the like for “sweet charities sake”, when the dear, good ladies wish, too, later on when get a local brass band for open air evening concerts. This already adorned with pretty young coming trees and such a pretty tasteful monu ument. Thanks to the good daughters. This town is beautifully laid off, streets diverging from the center with pretty, fresh looking neat cottages and some elegant man sions, so why not add to in this way, improving the value of your property and making a good im pression on visitors, and the best of all! the ladies could plant flow ers, I am sure they would be glad to, vieing with each other in, each having a plot of their own. Now, who will start the ball to rolling? I’ll gladly head the sub scription list. Hoping that you will think and act on this for the good of the town and self. Truly a citizen, George Johnson Ford.
