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.

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 if as possible. _ i Gap to Tybee light. . the week many people will [i the city, returning to their ■ the holidays.
