THE FINANCE COMMITTEES WORK.
The finance committee will meet at the
office Of Capt. Dillon at the court house this
morning at 10 o'clock. Every member is
expected TO be present. The work of the
finance committee being most important it
will begin at once.
Chairman Frank has guaranteed 81, 500.
He hopes to be able to report such progress
to the meeting of the executive committee
which will be held Saturday
night at the court house that
the committee will be- enabled to |
at once fix upon a night for the celebration |
and also instruct the committee on speakers |
10 begin sending out invitations to speakers |
The committee on speakers will meet at |
Mr. Prendergast's office tonight to make |
out Its list of speakers TO be invited Among |
those already suggested and to whom iuvi- |
tations will be sent, ere Gov. Northen, Sem |
ators Gordon aud Colquitt Speaker Crisp |
and Maj. j. G. G. Black of the Tenth dis |
trict. All the congressman of the state will |
be invited to be present, and also a number |
OF prominent democrats from all over the !
state.
Col. Rufus f. Lester will be given a
prominent position upon the occasion.
The railroads will be requested TO give
excursion rates that the people from the
surrounding country may be present and
participate in the celebration
THE LINE OF MARCH.
II was suggested that the plan of previous
pro cessions be departed from and that the
line of march be formed in the Park extaD
sion instead of downtown, through the prin-
Opal streets OF the city and terminate at the
De Soto hotel, and that the speaking take
place from the southwest balcony facing the
square. This is backed by several reasons
The FIRST Is TO give the line sufficientroom in
which 20 form without confusion, which
cannot be done except in the Park extern
sion; the second TO shorten the line of
march. and the third TO give the speakers a
more satisfactory position from which to
address the crowd than a stand in the Park
extension. This would be more convenient
for she speakers and great deal more salts
factory and pleasant for the crowd. This |
matter, however, ia with the committee on |
procession.
AS soon as the executive committee can |
get satisfactory report from the finance |
committee the night of the celebration will |
be decided upon. The celebration will be |
held one night next week not earlier than |
Wednesday night nor later than Friday |
night.
The executive committee will select a |
grand marshal at its next meeting. Several |
names are mentioned for the position among |
the number, Col Rufus e. Lester Gen, G. |
NJ Sorrel, Col. Peter Reilly aud Capt G. |
B. Pritohard.
The committees will all work rapidly and |
celebration is promised the like Of which |
was never seen in Savannah before.
