Willi is poet Wawerek Coyoty Mdian a. Thursday a a use 29, 1916.y��o by help he Ven i of a a go i Enthat Williamsport was lust on the verge of getting a Park. With so Many other things going on it seems that the Park project has got lost in the shuffle. No one has anything to say about it and the interest which was for a time at fever heat has to some extent cooled off. This is a sad mistake. The time to strike is while the Iron is hot. The time to Pluck your fruit is when it is Ripe. The time is now Ripe the Iron is still warm and it is time to strike. Partial arrangements have been made for securing the plot of ground but the promoters having it in charge have been Busy and others Are just sitting Down waiting that s All which is another wrong thing. When one person can t work at the Park movement another should take it up and keep it moving right along a never let it rest until that which is sought for is accomplished. In the last three weeks it has been forcibly demonstrated that Williamsport needs and should have a Park. Private ground is All right to hold carnivals shows and Hautau Quas on until the owner or manager imagines he is renting it too cheap and immediately pops the Price up to a Point where it is almost out of reason then it dawns upon us that we should have a Park. This latter feature was brought out Only last week when the Chautauqua committee wanted to lease the Casad Grove. The Price is pretty stiff but As there was no other place so Well located the committee after looking other grounds Over finally decided that the Casad Grove was the Ideal spot. Now Here s the whole thing in a nutshell if we had our own Park this committee would not have had to spend time looking for grounds neither would we have to worry about a tent and seats because the chances Are a Pavillion would be erected and seated. Not Only is this True but when anything else came along All we would have to do is to sight them to our Park charge them a Small fee to be applied upon its up keep and go right along. A Park to Wiki Asport a Ould be Worth hundreds of dollars to say nothing of its Many blessings and comforts. brought in a . Brown claims she was insulted by Ollie be held at the m. E.

There were one Hundred and fifty boys that left from this county eighty of this number were from Auburn. So you see i had Many close friends to leave. The boys 150 of them marched from the Auburn armory to the depot marching to the music of three bands and then the old soldiers played martial music. The boys left at 6 30 saturday morning. The largest crowd i Ever saw in Auburn was at the depot to see the boys off. The boys were All dressed in their Soldier uniform. It was a grand but very sad sight. Auburn is All decorated in flags now. A government train All decked in flags took the boys to Indianapolis and they were expecting to go from there right to the mexican Border. The train was eight coaches Long and it was just loaded with Malitia boys from different companies. The crowd was mostly in tears when the train pulled out. Auburn seems destitute without her boys. Some of them got Home from College just in time to go. I fear the results. I expect there will be Many of them that will never come Back. I am writing this because Williamsport has no Malitia boys to leave and i thought it might be interesting to you. Of course All we think and talk about is War news.

Re single admissions to hear the Chautauqua attractions will total but you can buy a season ticket from your local committee for $1,50 do it n o a Odd Fellows have Bis Day Odd Fellows red men old soldiers and children participate in Parade. Last sunday was a great Day in the history of the Odd Fellows in Independence. It was the Day set aside for their decoration services and True to the spirit exemplified by the people of Independence who do things with a vengeance. There was a Large crowd present. At the appointed time 2 30, the Odd Fellows assembled in their Hall and transacted the business preliminary to going to the Church and then to the cemetery. They formed in line in front of the Hall and when ready to March found they had 76 Odd Fellows 18 red men 40 sunday school children and six old soldiers who to the Sweet strains of the famous Newtown band marched around the Square and then to the u. B. Church where Hon. Ele Stansbury who was introduced by w. H. Evans made the principle address. It seemed that or. Stansbury was at his Best and the speech he delivered last sunday to the Large crowd that far exceeded the seating capacity of the Church went right Home and seemed to touch the heart of everyone present. It was a subject on which or. Stansbury is right at Home and when he gets warmed to it the oratory just seems to flow from his lips. After the speech at the Church the Odd Fellows again formed in line and marched to the cemetery just North of town a Here they in a solemn and impressive Way decorated the Graves of the Brethren gone on before. Returning from the cemetery the band gave a concert on the streets which was highly enjoyed by the big crowd present which consisted of visitors from this place Attica Green Hill and other nearby Call a to Pine Mcferren notified of Small riot last saturday night. About 9 o clock saturday evening sheriff Mcferren had a Call to Pine Village to put Down a Small sized riot caused it is said by parties who had been to Lafayette and had evidently filled up on quot Joy according to the report they kept up the disturbance most of the Day and the citizens got tired of it and phoned for the sheriff. This action seemed to have a quieting effect upon their nerves and they went Home to avoid being arrested. Later on the same evening the sheriff received a Call to come to the neighbourhood of Winthrop and bring with him the prosecutor but As or. Mehaffey was in Indianapol Lis sheriff Mcferren did not go to Winthrop because of the fact that he was powerless to make the arrest without an affidavit had been sworn out. This was also the Case at Pine Village he did not see the rompers and of course could not act. Many persons Are of the Opin Iori that the sheriff in a Case of this kind can go out and pick a Man up any old time but we Are informed that unless it is a Case of murder or theft that unless the sheriff see the parties fighting or rioting he is powerless to act unless an affidavit is sworn out and placed in his hands. Sheriff Mcferren is willing to do his whole duty As an official of Warren county wiling to go anywhere and arrest All persons violating the Laws but he should not be asked to do the impossible things that people construe As a part of the sheriff s duty.
