WORK TO BE PUSHED THROUGH AT ONCE. Open Air Concert and lee Cream Festival Tomorrow Evening. The ladies of the Park Association have revived interest in the work of improvement,and the president of the organization, Mrs. W. C. Bunn, asks all ladies interested in the movement to meet at the Booz House at 4 30 p. m. today to discuss the matter and fix upon some defi nite plan. The plans most generally and fa vorably discussed involve the build ing of a band-stand and a. couple of rustic bridges across the spring branch, with some terracing and sodding of the ground. The un sightly weeds will be kept cut down, and a good fence will be built around the park. The park can be made a “thing of beauty” at comparatively small ex pense, and will be worth to the city a hundred-fold more than it costs. The work should b- pushed at once, and the park will be found to be appreciated attraction by our thou sands of visitors at the tournament next summer, as well as by our own people. Every lady who can should take an "interest in the project, and every iium should help! CONCERT TOMORROW EVENING. TheBaugh-Zimmerman Band will give a concert tomorrow evening at the site of the band stand which the ladies propose to erect for this popular organization. The ladies v ill serve ice cream cake and lemonade. There should be a good turn-out to hear the music, and to help the good work along. in Atlanta Von CLKRK.
