"I have a scheme for securing a park for the city, and at the same time reviving old Vigo county history, which I have heard mentioned by no one up to date," said a gentleman with loyal instincts a few days ago. "It is this: Let either the city or a syndicate of Terre Haute men buy the farm at Ft. Harrison and lay it out as a park by clearing it up, building gravel drives, and otherwise beautifying it. Then I would suggest the rebuilding of old Fort Harrison, care being taken to make the enclosure and all as nearly like the old fort as possible. Next, a fund should be raised for bulling a monument to the memory of the Vigo county soldiers who fought so bravely in two wars. The

A. R. here

have a fund for building a monument but this is not sufficient to accomplish anything, and it would be necessary to raisfttmpney for the monument by subscription. The land on the old fort site is naturally picturesque and could be goojf&ad from the city oould easily be a mmri -rime rx. tmmwro park become as popular as Collett park."
