dent George H. Mellen as chairman 

 was announced as follows: John M. 

 Good, Leman Bradford, Charles W. 

 Schmidt and Jessie M. Good. 



As chairman of the program commit- 

 tee, John M. Good announced that the 

 December meeting of the club would 

 be a social session, and introduced Pro- 

 bate Judge Frank W. Geiger, who de- 

 liv6red an excellent address on "Civic 

 Improvement. ' ' 



At the conclusion of the paper by 

 .Tudge Geiger the club and guests ad- 

 journed to the spacious mailing-rooms 

 on the upper floor, which had been con- 

 verted into a well-appointed banquet 

 hall, with tables tastefully spread, and 

 an appetizing supper was served by the 

 ladies at the heads of departments in 

 the office force of the Good & Reese 

 Co. 



Acting as toastmaster, President Mel- 

 len briefly outlined the object of the 

 gathering and introduced W. H, Stack- 

 house, president of the Commercial 

 Club, who spoke of the great import- 

 ance and magnitude of the local plant in- 

 <lustry and urged cooperation of all 

 bodies toward the end in view. Paul 

 Martin mentioned progress already 

 made in adorning the schoolyards and 

 the possibilities of accomplishing 

 much through the school children, and 

 P. M. Cartmell, ex-postmaster, related 

 some ancient local history relating to 

 the selection by the city fathers of 

 Greenmount cemetery, now in the resi- 

 dential portion of the city and about 

 to be abandoned, in preference to the 

 logical and natural site now adorned 

 by Ferncliff. 



The four speakers were elected hon- 

 orary members of the club, and as an 

 outcome of this meeting with' its ad- 

 dresses and discussion, the appoint- 

 ment of a special committee, and in 

 view of the fact that John M. Good 

 was recently elected a member of the 

 city council from the Third ward, it is 

 anticipated that there will be a con- 

 certed movement toward taking advan- 

 tage of the exceptional natural advan- 

 tages of our city. The motto of the 

 commercial bodies has been "Make

In order to give a chance to the mem- 

 bers of the New Orleans Horticultural 

 Society to exhibit their chrysanthemums,
