After a few enthusiastic speeches
on the needs and benefits of a commer-

Honoring Dr. and Mrs.
W, S, Stephens of
Washington, D. C
Bishops Propose To Build
Large Bathing Pool On
Outskirts of Town.
Town To Be Benefited In Many
Ways By Project.
W. A. Bishop and his son, Herman,
have to-day commenced building a
very fine swimming pool on their home
place joining town. This pool will
conform to the rules o f the State
Board of Health and will be solidly
concreted an d supplied with tresh
water daily from one of the largest
open wells in the County.
It is located in one of the loveliest
groves adjoining our town just North
of the High School building and will
in our judgment be a wonderful im-
provement t o the town, especially
from a health view point.
They have a large force and believe
this pool will be ready for swimming
within some 2 or 3 weeks. Let the
good work go on.
