FORMER MARLIN CITIZEN
NOTES IMPROVEMENTS HERE

Thinks Addition of Park Would Prove
of Lasting Benefit to
People.

"I hear many people who have been coming to Marlin for years express themselves in complimentary terms of Marlin's wonderfully improved appearance with so many streets paved, and other visible evidences of civic advancement,"  said F. H. Ragsdale of Waco, who formerly resided in Marlin.

While a resident of Marlin, Mr. Ragsdale was a member of the city council and was actively in favor of civic improvements during that time. He added today:

"I see Marlin is now making a move toward securing a public park, and if the move is successful, it will be one of the best features that could be added.  Everyone now wants to commune with nature once in a while, at least, and, fortunately, Marlin has the opportunity now to make this advanced step.  As a former citizen and still interested in Marlin and its people, I hope to see the park move successful."
