| Mr. Editor, |
| On the 2nd inst., I gathered
together my world by possessions ***** and emigrated from your loved
county to this busy, moving, progressive city. |
| ***** |
| While convalescing from my
little walk I have visited some of the most wondrous place in the Gate
City, chief of which are Grant's Park, National Surgical Institute,
Constitution building, and the Capitol. |
| Grant Park grounds were
donated by Col. L. P. Grant, and consists of nearly two hundred acres
beautifully laid off in walks and drives, fountains and lakes. On the
11th inst. Col. Grant was called to his final reward at the goodly age
of 75, and the day I visited the park the buildings were draped in
mourning for that loved philanthropist. ***** |
