Charlie Reed. Speeches were deliv-
cred by General G. A Evans and Col.
A. h. Cox of Atlanta. Senator A. s.
Clay introduced the speakers in his
usual happy style, The Roswell Band
furnished music for the occasion. The
dinner was abundant and consisted of
every thing good to eat. None of that
vast crowd went away hungry, but
there was enough and to spare. 1t was
a most enjoyable day and the Roswell
people proved themselves to be most
hospitable people. They don't do any
thing half-hearted over there, but ev-
erything with cordiality and generous
bounty. It is fine town, full of his
toric memories, and fine people.
The money of the city paid in by the
tax payers could not be spent to better
advantage than in making our streets
good. The recent heavy rains have
washed the streets and outlying side
walks badly. The damage will require
the expenditure OF vast deal of mon
ey. We cannot have our streets in q
bad condition, which is not only bad
for travel, but makes bad impression
on the public mind. We believe our
| city council has the best interests of
the city at heart and will do what they
can to place oar streets in good condi-
ton. Mr., Guyton, the chairman of the
| street committee, is a wide-a-wake
man, and has good deal of experience
in such work and has done a good deal
of street work this year

The entertainment in the city park
Tuesday night, for the benefit of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, Mariet-

grand success. The park was beauti-
fully illuminated with Japanese Ian
terms, candles and electric lights, and
presented a magnificent scene. An
immense crowd was present. The mu-
sic was good and everybody seemed to
enjoy this pleasant occasion. The pat
ronage received was very gratifying
