Enterprise
Bainbridge Republican, April 16, 1880
It is a shame for an enterprising village like Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], to allow the North end of the "village green," opposite the Park hotel, to grow up in weeds and thistles, when it might be made a beautiful grassy terrace, with very little labor and expense. Let our village "Fathers" bestir themselves and not be behind Afton in beautifying and adorning our naturally much more beautiful village. The walk, also, on the East side of the green, should be finished, and not be left in its present condition any longer to impress strangers with the idea that we have not enterprise enough to complete the improvements which we have begun. We should not allow the most beautiful spot in the village to be the receptacle any longer of old tin cans, cast away tools and shoes and ashes. But let us plow it up and nicely grade it, and sow it down in grass seed. And then, instead of having an eye sore in the center of the town, we will have a lovely grassy park, which will be a credit to the village, and a pleasure to the eyes to look upon. The writer is willing to bear his share of the expense to have it done, and more, too, if our village Fathers will go ahead and accomplish the work at once. Arouse ye sleepy Fathers! ---Rex.
