Marlin Has Some Attractions.
-----
In and around Marlin are found some attractions that can hardly be excelled in
furnishing entertainment and amusement for visitors and homefolks.
Scarcely three blocks from the business
portion of town is Bartlett park, an attractive spot where nightly concert and
dances are given three times a week. The well pavilion with its reclining
benches affords a place of rest and amusement where music is heard several
afternoons and evenings in the week.
Within an hour's drive from Marlin is the
Falls of the Brazos, noted for its pleasant scenery and an ideal place for
picnics. The spot is becoming a popular resort for visitors where they may
spend a great part of the day and have the use of the club house.
The fishing facilities in Marlin are equal
to any and afford some diversion to those who engage in the sport. Besides
the river and other sunning streams there are two artificial lakes within the
city limits, and are always open to visitors.
In addition to these attractions there are
the skating rink, the electric theater and other places of amusement which have
their fond adherents.
