This city has been wise in selecting for one of the special features of a public park one of the monuments of the past in an Indian mound. One by one these will disappear all over the land, except where some wise foresight, as here, has preserved them. All these historic works grow in value day by day, and those communities that take pains to preserve them are laying up future attractions that will add to their local renown.

The city is wiser than most of her sisters east and west in having a park at all, and still wiser in not being satisfied with this one, for she is planning to have a whole system, with the plots laid out, which one by one will be taken in as wanted.
