A great newspaper man once said it would not be news if a dog with a tin can tied to his tail ran for dear life, but that it would be news if the dog failed to run when the can was tied to his tail.
Consequently, there is news in the fact that a building stands unoccupied on the old site of Liberty Park, near Camp Greene, in which not a single glass has been broken out, according to Ernest D. Grady.
The building has been standing since the days when Liberty park was erected soon after the construction of Camp Greene. It has not been occupied, neither has it been under guard since the camp was abandoned two years or more ago. Yet no wicked boys have attacked the building with rocks and the several windows in the building contain the glass which was placed there originally.
Every other building about the park is without glass in the windows. How it has escaped the rocks of small boys is a matter of conjecture, but it is standing unharmed.
