Wants Park Down Town.

Wants Park Down Town.
 Montgomery is certainly in need 1I several parks in the city, said wei known minister yesterday. "As mat ter of fact. Montgomery has no park in town and think the time IS near at haad a when the people pt VIII ss see assa. ss lutely necessary. Other cities nave them. Some of them have numbers oI them where fresh air Is anorded tne population and especially the growing children who ought to have some place to romp and play. As 1t is nov, the children of Montgomery must play m the streets or not at ,a all IT th iney o,.w eah-
 T would be in favor of the City Council copGemning real estate TOT park purposes. There are plenty or Ie- will be hard to get and the city would have to pay handsome price TOT enough ground to meet the purposes. The putting of a park in Mentgomeiry will simply be another step toward ln- cFeasing the health of the people or Montgomery and I, for one, VIII lend hearty endorsement to any such move ment."

 Cart. William E. Mickle or Moblle. Inspector of Rifle Practice of the lst Alabama Infantry was m M Mohego'nsay hgs yay home from Sea GiTt, N J., WEere hs went to attend the shooting contests,
 "0ur Alabama tean ssid saptain Miekle, had a fine trip and the men learned more about rifle practice Tn three days than they would have learn ed at home in year.
 T say with pride that our team ala remarkably well considering the men had no practice at all and were organ ized only two days before the shoot.
 What we wlnt to Go is to get aoid build ranges. and go to shooting so that when we so 70 Ohio next year Alabama will take even a higher stand than our team did this year which was over the Fort Riley record.
 There is no more enthusiastic advo- cate of rife practice in the Alabama National Guard than Captain Mlckle and he has done much to bring the marktnanship of the Guardsmen ID from a very low standard,

 To Amend City Charter. the Lesislatnre esds inIe an s efort mas be made to have the charter of the city of Montgomery amended" said a citizen yesterday. "The idea. from what can gather, Is to separate the sanitary de- partment from the city physician. th- der the existing charter, the sanitary department Is under the charge and the amendment is put through, tho chief clerk of the sanitary department will have charge of this departmsnL
 T hava not yet fully understood why | the charter. but I suppose those who have the amendment in hand feel that the severance may be beneficial both to the city physician and ths sanitary department. It is claimed that in a great many cities these two branches are operated separately"
