THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.
Visitors hav' always been ortspoken
in their praise of Mil neanolis, because
of its broad, regular streets, its fine
pul lie and private b hidings, its beauti-
ful church struct
ures, and its shaded
residence aveni es,
bordered with i eat
homes and beautiful
lawns. The city
covers an area of
fifty-three
square
miles, so that there
has not been, and
need not be,
crowding of residen-
ces. There are few residences proper
ly called palaces, but thousands of
handsome homes, each with its large,
well kept lawn, suggestive of pros
perity and culture.
