and forgetful.

ed them to places of safety and 1 have
Instructed the peace officers of the
City of Roswell to remove children
left in such condition to a place of
safety and if horses are not tied to re-
move them to the livery stable at the
expense of the owner or driver.
We are trying to make Roswell a
safer and better place for life and
property and a cleaner, better place
in which to live. We want the help of
all the good people and all should
give attention to this in view.
We trust as the new year begins
that it will not be necessary for peace
officers to act in this matter or for
the Mayor of the City to again call
attention to the condition.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. RICHARDSON,
Mayor.

filled that handsome new building, Ger

electric lights. Between the two trees,

Much credit should be given to Mrs.

had charge of the program. The Lad
Kinds in a solo, render choice music
appropriate to the occasion. At the
close of the program, the veritable
Santa Claus" appeared in quite a
stunning costume and amused the
children by his peculiar antics and
had greetings for everybody. The Com

R. H. Kemp, who has been giving
much time an6 personal attention to
