1910,
 The slogan is still being sounded 1 over the city from vesuvi1fs to Clover
 dale, and from West End to Red Bridge,
 and the appeal for subscriptions for a fund to attain this great end is being
 met readily d11 substantially lay the
 patriotic citizenship of the city
 Never in the history of Montgomery was q public sentiment SC thoroughly aroused over movement and the com mittees that yesterday canvassed the business district of the city were met cordially. The subscriptions of yester- day amounted to s1.1O5, making a grand total of $5,750. over half of the amount which the committed started cut to raise three days ago
 There were a few refusals to sub scribe, but as d general rule the can Nassing committee was given far great CT encouragement than has ever been the case in regard to Montgomery movement.
 The general impression about Mont gomery seems to be that the old city is on the eve of 2 financial boom, and everyone seems eager to aid in the cause.
 There is going to be 1sto Day at new Electric Park. Jake Wells has said so. ard that is just as good as counting tn; money. The date has not been set. but sometime between the opening and closing of the season there will be a day devoted to this most pop ular cause

In every city in which he has an interest in business, he takes an interest in the welfare of the city He has deter- mined to become identified with grow irg Montgomery. He has set about his plans with an idea to devote much time to his interests here In the flu ture.

 Wells Manager Talks.
 This plan of 1910 is grand" said II. L. Cardoza. the general representative for MT, Wells. 'Tt is the kind of spirit that counts. It is one of those cases of all for one and one for all and it's value will be shown in a mighty short while We want to be in this. and we will be mighty glad to devote day at the park during the summer to the cause. We will donate tho entire pro- ceeds of the riding devices. and places of amusement we control, to the fund, and we will be glad to do anything else in our power to nelp interest the pc D. pie. We figure that there are a great many people who want to contribute to the fund, but who really cannot af- foId if. These people can take in the 1910 Day at the new Electric Park. 1 and when they see the figures the next | day. they will be conscious of the fact that they helped make up tho sum. and | I hope that it will be the banner day 1 in the history of the resort"
