We cut down too many trees and
plant too few. The time is comtrg g
when trees are going to be worth
something"
Mr.. Noll, whose first thonsht IS
always the best interests OF the city,
said. II heartily endorse the propo-
sition think We should have at
least ten trees plan ed-two at each
entrance TO the building and ,wo
on either side OF the fountain. 1t
would cost comparatively nothing,
as to that, I would cheerfully be
one of ten who will p y for the
trees and for planting them.
Walter J Brown. than whom
there Is no more faithful or able
member of the city government,
joined the procession in the follow,
ing words: 1T would be very ap-
propriate. 1 am In favor OF It.
Every fair minded citizen should
be. 1t is eminently proper. The
day Is set apart tor that purpose,
and no better way of observing It
could be imagined"
George E. Bell of the First ward,
also voted AYE" and gave his rea-
sons In the following sentiments:
II certainly favor the idea. 1t
should be made a big day. Any
thing I can do to help 1t along will
be cheerfully DONE
The other councllmen were not
at home when the Review man
called. but 1t Is almost certain that
they will DE equally as enthusi-
astic ard favorably inclined as those
quoted above.
Among the citizens seen was the
city solicitor, F. D. Young, Esq +,
who voiced his sentiments in the
following words: II heartily ap-
prove of the arbor day suggestion
made In the Review. The good
resulting from planting trees
around our City Building will be
enjoyed by US and our children, be-
sides lending an attractive appear

Rev. II Barton Bowden spoke
enthusiastically In the following
words: II believe In nature and
natures study. II believe In hon
oring both and secaring an interest
In both by the proper observance OF
arbor day. l endorse the sug-

1t will result In much good In addi-

Hon. George E. Work, the gen.
ial postmaster, when seen, was en-
thusiastlc over the project, as he
always Is over anything for the

Just what we want. It will be a

no better way could be found OF
securing them"

The Review Is grati6ed at the

received such general commenda.
tion as this ore The people, pub
lie and private, at once fell In line,
and what promises to be one of the
most pleasant occasions ever held
In the city will be enjoyed by all
the people on the 18TH. The eager
ness aud earnestness of the city
council Is speaking Of the affair
leads to the conclusion that each
member of that body will be right
In the front rank of those who will
labor for the success of the occasion.
Feeling the need of some further
Improvement Of the plat OF ground
surrounding the City Building, aud
realizing that the proposition of the
Review Is the very best method Of
securing 1t, aud knowing that such
an occasion would be both pleas ant
and profitable they, to man, en-
dorse the movement, and give it
their unqualified approval.
And not cnly the city fathers,
but private citizens as well lend their
aid and their cooperation to the
affair, aud it promises to be one of
the great big days IN the history of
the city.
Although the committee TO per-
feet the arrangements has not yet
been selected on account of the alb
sence from home of majority of
the Board of Education, some work
has already been accomplished look
Ing toward the formation and com
pletion of a program that will be
one of the best ever listened to In
the city. Already, the matter of
music by the pupils of the public
schools Is being looked after by the
school management, and we know
that the boys and girls will sing as
they have never done before, and
we know that 1t will be worth going
miles to see them and hear this
singing.
A number of prominent gentlemen
have been communicated with, In
clading the State superintendent
and others prominent In State and
school matters, and the oratory
promised for the occasion will be of
superior grade.
Mr.. Thomas Chestnut, one of
the able representatives of the first
ward. announced his favorable
sentiments In no uncertain Ian
guage. He said; II endorse the idea.
There should be at least one beauty
spot In the city, and 1t should be
the ground around the city build
Ing. 1t Is an excellent idea"
When approached about the
matter. W, E. Seal, member Of
council from the fourth ward said;
II most heartily approve OF th-
Idea and will do all IN my power 10
promote 1t. Some decoration should
be given the ground around the
city building, and this Is an excel
lent way to do 1t.
