To MoNTGoMERY cITIzENs.

TO MONTGOMERY CFTlNENSe
 A member of the Civic League writes the following to the citizens of Mont gomery:
 We would like to call on every one to cooperate with the Civic Improve ment League in restoring to our town the avenues of beautiful trees for which 1t was once famous.
 A tour of observation is an aston ishing revelation of how few trees we have, of how the old trees are gone without being replaced by new ones. The present is the best time to plant; later than February the chances are all against successful roofing ana healthy growth.
 The woman in every home is asked: will you not this month set out an oak, an elm or silver maple in front of your house on your sidewalk?
 The Civic League depends on the CO., opevation of every woman in this town to do this one thing now--to restore our trees-other things will come lat CT.
 We hope, in another year, to insti- tute Arbor Day, and to observe 1t on the birthday of Robert E. Lee, for what anniversary could we so fittingly commemorate as Lees natal day wltp the planting of the indigenous trees which are the glory of the Southland he loved SO well and served so faith fully?
 At Newport, when the multt-million- aires began to transform the pare lawns to parks with avenues Of an- cestral shade by the marvellous nat which money executes, they sent twen- ty miles away for horse chestnuts. ma ules. beeches. cedars and tulip trees. some of whose branches spread sixty feet or more, They had tunnels dug under each, leaving the roots in a great ball of solid earth, they skidded eaeh up on heavy timbers, moved It on rollers, made it fast on truck ano dragged 1t to its new habitat by the sea-nor did they grudge the six weeks of time consumed in the removal and transplanting, and the outlay of $500 for one tree This is done among neople, one of whose poets. in his love of rature. declares that on June days he can
 .'Bslieve a tree among his fair prosen-
 itors."
 We can't afford the extravagance of the Northern poet or capitalist, but can't we expend 25 cents apiece for vounR trees from the woods near Mont" gomery, and give time and care to their transplanting and nurture?
