We notice the cottages at Fountain Park are taking on a different 106 k as the owners proceed to cleanup for the sixteen days of enjoyment which this community is anticipating. The program » one of the- best ever issued to the public in this line. The season tickets are exceedingly reasonable, being only two-fifty for the entire season, despite the* fact that there are more fifty cent days than-ever before as the talent is much higher. At no other place can tjie people of the surrounding vicinity get such enjoyment as they do at Fountain Park as can be seen by the enormous, crowds that attend on the big days.
