Playground Renovated

Steps are being taken by a group of citizens to repair and improve the children’s playground back of the Postoffice in Washington. Charles Scroggins has volunteered his services for work to be done. A fund for new equipment has been started with good response from those who were solicited. Anyone wishing to donate in any amount to this worthwhile project may do so to Mrs. Emily Miller who has agreed to act as treasurer.
