green's bunting and colored lights.
The whole city decorated and en- fete.
Mr. L. w. Kelly, who has promoted many such
affairs, notably the Old Boys Reunion at London,
Canada, is in charge of this movement AT the re-
quest of several citizens Mr.. Kelly circulated among
the merchants in the city, and $50 OF OUR PROM
NENT BUSINESS MEN signed petition to the City
Council to pass ordinance granting the use OF the
streets for the purposes described 1t is proposed
to advertise in every State and in Canada, and inv
tations will be sent to all persons who once resided
in Jacksonville, far they can be located Cards
will be given out with blanks to be filled in with
names and addresses and sent to headquarters from
which invitations will issue.
No doubt the ordinance will be passed because
$50 business men and merchants want it, and they
want it because the decorations the amusemcnts,
the parades the dispays-ALL the centers OF attrac
tion-wil be located on streets in the heart OF the
city, WHERE THE MERCHANTS WILL RE-
CEIVE THE BENEFITS from them. The entertain
ments will attract the crowds, the merchant has only
to hold their attention, and the opportunity to do
this he is offered
motive-reunon and entertainment, will all make for
success, both in point of attendance and OF tangible
results. Let's make this the greatest celebration
Jacksonville has had, because it's to be "Home'
Coming Week." and there's welcome for all.
The language of the ordinance carries the plan
of the proposal, ana the ordinance follows:
