HIGHLAND PARKERS MAY COMPEL
 MONTGOMERY TO IMPROVE THEIR STREETS

 take what the city government of Mont proposes to help itself before asking the city for help.
 Public opinion in Highland Park in said to be overwhelmingly in favor of the bond issue and that it will be authorized Monday with votes to spare. The town government is back of 1t and the prom inent citizen endorse it.
 4 great improvement in the streets of Highland Park Is expected from the $12.- 600: It is proposed to put in sidewalk pabing curblng and to gravel the road ways. The Improvements, it is claimed. will make the incorporated portions of the town one of the prettiest sections of Montgomery.
 The Highland Parkers have also dis played an additional aiertness to their interest. It is understood that a con- tract has been closed with the Mont gomery Light and Power Company for twenty-five arc lights. These lights will be located within the incorporation of Highland Park and they will bes rnain- suburb becomes part of Montgomery in October.
 The town has, heretofore, been rather unsatisfactoriiy lighted with old-tims liRhts will be located by the present town government and kept up until the time fer annexation. when 1t is expected the city of Montgomery will assume the obi. gation of maintaining them. Highland Park was taken into the city without its consent. but the town gov- ernment has started out to embrace all its opportunities. The announcement of the towns intention as to improvement will be a surprise to a large part of Montgomery residents. Althought the Improvements have been contemplated a month they have not been discussed in Montgomery, and on the whole the High land Parxers have gone about their work rather quietly.
 The situation in view of Highland Parks move Is that the Parkers are sat. isfied, the city annexatiopists surprised and the other suburhanites are envtous rha lon~.,oat aon ta aararalRxs ahnrf

THE FErE cHAMPETRE.
Entertainment at Highland Park for
 Organized Charities.

Organized Charities.
 The members of the Executive Board of the Fete Champetre Association met yesterday morning at the residence of the President, Mrs. Burwell Boylin.
 There were present at this meeting the chairmen of the several committee ap. pointed few days ago and the different features of the contemplated entertain ment which are in their charge, were discussed in detail. The ladies are talk ing up the work enthusiastically and a great success is predicted.
 They decided to have the entertainment at Highland Park on May 3Oth.
 In addition to the many attractions on the field itself, 1t is possible that a Flower Parade may be given; so that with beauty added to picturesqueness the fete will assume the character of holiday car nival.
 The Vaudeville Committee reports for the evening program of distinctive merit and originality. The Athletic Com mittee with Professor Wilr s. Fry as director of games with whom is asso- cIated Professor s. Stark, is already at work getting entries for the various "events."
 The Executive Board resolved to call upon all ladies in the city who sympa- thize with the cause of Organized Chari- ty and who are willing to work for 1t, to cooperate with them and take an active part in bringing the fete to a successful issue.
 With this object in view another mass meeting will be called Tuesday afternoon in the City, Council chamber at p. m. sharp to attend which everybody with a helpful suggestion or a willing hand is most cordially invited.
