WOMEN AND PARK COMMISSION.

WOMEN AND PARK COMMISSION.
 Now that the City Council has pass cd the ordinance of Mir. Strauss ere ating commission to have charge of the parks of the city, it might be well Tor the many women who are interest cd in this matter to exert their ener- gies towards having sympathetic men selected on the commission, which Is to be named by the City Council.
 These women doubtless know that whatever improvement is made in the proposed new park opposite beautiful oakwood Cemetery will rest largely with the new Park Commission. It is to this park that the first White House of the Confederacy is to be removed, and its care and attention will ever lie close to the hearts of scores of Mont eomery women.
 It Is not expected that the Park Com mission will be a political body, but the women of Montgomery who took the initiative in the matter of beauti- flying this city and are still appealing to the people for improvement of pub lie places should make their influence felt when the city's lawmakers are about to select five men who are to be 60 closely allied to the work to which their hearts and their minds are now devoted.
 This commission Is to consist of five members. and the positions are purely honorary.
