Greenville, March "A barn, valued
at $4,000, belonging to j. NJ. Wood, in
this county, was destroyed by fire to-
night. Twenty-tbree head of cattle
perished in the flames, together with a
quantity of farming implements and
tools. There was only $500 insurance.
The fire was undoubtedly of inceudiary
origin. A man was seen leaving the
building shortly before the flames were
discovered. Blood hounds have been

CLEAN UP AND IMPROVE.

With these. the first days of spring,
there should be preparations for cleaning
up and improving premises by the
property owners as we'll az the municipal
authorities. There is nothing like be-
ginning at the beginniug, going straight
through with the work and keeping ever
lastingly at it. We are all too apt to
neglect appearances in the matter of
property and we permit things to go un-
kept and uncared for until before we are
aware of it, neglect has brought on de-
cay, fences have tumbled down, lawns
are overgrown with weeds, trees are al
lowed to disintegrate, and on the face of
everything there is tho stamp of blight
that not only detracts from appearance,
but materially reduces the value.
There is no prettier town in South
Carolina than Waiha,la G;-oa by
nature everything needed to please
the eye and give comfort to the sojourner
here, we have but little labor to expend
to keep this garden spot what nature in
tended it should be-what the founders
of the town conceived it to be when
they named it Walhalla. "The Hall of the
Gods" "Haven of Rest"-what it has
been and what it can be again if we will
but use little energy or expend little
money in making improvements and as
sisting nature - that is, the prettest
town in the State. We owe it to our
selves and to the good old town to make
the place brighter aud prettier. Self.in-
terest and town pride should be suffi-
cient spur to our energy
Let us all get to work, individ uals and
municipal officers, and improve Walhalla,
and let us work together with a co nmon
interest. We will each find all abundant
Xeward
There is one thing wo need badly here
in Walhalla, and that is a Civic Improve
ment Association. Other towns have
them, and they have proved of great
worth to the municipality. These asso-
Citations or societies are usually managed
by the ladies, and that doubtless ac-
counts for their universal success. We
have a lot of ladies who would make
good organizers. We suggest that few
of these get together and organize a
Civic Improvement Association for Wal.
halla. We are ready to guarantee the
cooperation of Mayor Thompson and
the members of Council in their official
capacity and practically every citizen as
an individual.
Who will start the movement? If the
start is made, the mover will do a great
service to her town. All we need is a
leader to take hold, to suggest and direct
AS it is now there is no unity of action
and needed improvements are neglected
Just because "whav's evorybodys busi-
ness is nobody's business" What we
need is an organization whose business
it is to suggest improvements, devise
ways and means, and see that needed
work is done.
Let the ladies make the start.
Let the men assist them financially and
every way possible.
Let us all work together for Walhalla
improve her, bcautify her, and watch
for the good results. They are sure to
come.
II is time for the ladies to make the
start. Organize Civic Improvement
Association, and DEMAND the assistance
of the men.
