SEATING THE PARK
Business Men and Property Owners
Will Place Seats and Benches
for Convenience of Public.
W. J. Gbolson, of the oity park
oommittee has hit upon a novel plan
to seoure seats for the park. He met
with stunning suooess and in a short
time there will te plenty of seats to
aooommodate tbe general publio.
Mr. Gbolson solicited the business
men and property owners for individ
ual seats, and the scheme met witb
popular f aver. The individual is giv
en permission to contribute any style
of seat he wishes, and oan make it
any size be desires.
Many cf the business men will have
tbeir advertisements on tbe seat fur
nished by tbem and novelties in this
respeot are looked for. No one is
barred from having bis individual
seat at tbe paik, and many will make
seats large enough to aooommodate
six or eight persons.
There will be work for tbe carpen
ter and painter for several days to
come, for nearly every head of a fam
ily in town, and other beads who
haven't any family, have promised to
furnish a feat.
The grand stand was moved Wed
nesday from tbe ball grounds above
town to tbe athletio side of tbe paik.
This struoture will give large seating
oapacity for ball games and field
events.
