If a plan originally suggested by
Mrs. H. K. Wootten and now in the
hands of the civic improvement com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
is carried out Chickasha in the near
future will have a little beauty spot
in the heart of the. city where the
weary laden may rest and find re-
freshment for their souls.
An effort will be made to secure the
lots owned by the Odd Fellows across
the street south from the city hall. It

intend to build for some time and it is
thought that the lots can be obtained
for temiiorary park purposes. Sec-
retary Kirkpatrick has been working
on the proposition and he will try to
get action on It early next month.
The ladies have already agreed to
furnish flowers and rustic seats and
it is thought that city prisoners could
be used to put the grounds in shape.
"With very little outlay of money"
said Mr. Kirkpatrick "we can make a
pretty little rest place that everybody
would appreciate and which would
add much to the attractiveness of
Chickasha avenue"

a short distance. Apparently he had
traveled toward Chickasha.

Deputy Ramsey being notified of the
crime early were oa the grounds with

high and weighed about 1200 pounds
each. They bore no brands. A bridle
