Judge John B. Hutcheson, of
j Jonesboro, Ga., in a letter to Dr.
and Mrs. J. L. Beeson, makes an
I interesting suggestion in regard to
Government Square. Now thnt the
suggestion is made, it seems strange
that no one had thought of the plan
before.
Judge Hutcheson says “I noticed in
the newspapers a few days ago
your undertaking to beautify “Gov
ernment Square** or "Nesbit Woods’’
by planting of tree--, shrubbery etc.
A merely make this as a suggestion
what do you think of the idea of
having the girls and former students
to assist in the matter and have a
tree or some shrub from each coun
ty in the State planted on the*o
grounds. This would give it a his
torical setting. This is merely n
suggestion.”
Thus, Government Square, which
has for one hundred and twenty-five
years awaited its destiny, may yet
| become a beautiful park illustrating
in. that ( f getting ns much | the flora of Georgia froi
