 When President Roosevelt comes to Montgomery next Tuesday at noon the route through which he will pass to the State Capitol will be decorated as Alabama's Capital City has never been decorated before. Flags and buntings | of patriotic colors will be used in pro- | fusion and some business houses will | use Southern evergreens and berries to | give an idea to the stinguished visi- | tor of the beauties of the forest at | this season of the year.
 Practically every business man on | Commerce street and Dexter avenue has agreed to decorate his place in honor of the President. Those who have signed the agreement are as fol- lows:

 With so much decorating to be done | it is possible the work will begin to- morrow or next day.
  chants and suggested decoration of | their places did not call upon those persons who reside on Dexter avenue | above the business district but the | hope Is expressed that they, too, will display patriotic colors.
 After the exercises at the Capitol, during which President Roosevelt will speak, the Presidential party will be driven from Dexter avenue through Perry street to South street. thence through South street to Court street and by Court street to Court square and to the union railway station. It is expected that persons residing on these streets will decorate their homes
 Officials of the government having offices in the local Federal building have already taken steps to decorate the building profusely and railroad of ficials have announced their intention of burying the Montgomery union rail ways station in bunting. The Capitol will also wear a gala attire.
 When President Roosevelt's train is first sighted pulling into Montgomery a salute will be fired by cannon of the Montgomery Field Artillery. com manded by Capt Sam Roswald. The battery will be stationed on the river bank at the foot of Coosa street. The battery will also fire farewell salute when the Presidents train leaves for at 2 D. m. The battery held meeting last night and the ar tillerymen were drilled in the use of the cannon. |,
 Capt. Tyler Goodwin of the Gov ernor's Guards has been designated as Grand Marshal of the parade and he will select picked men from the , military companies to act as especial escort to the Presidents carriage.
