KEEP THE CITY CLEAN.

An esteemed Marietta lady called US
over the phone Monday in the interest
of making Marietta cleaner city. She
thinks, and 80 do we. that while the
square Is kept clean, the streets OF Ma
rietta have too much trash upon them.
She deems it good idea for the ladies' to
take hold Of this matter, aud, by organ
ization, enlist all of our citizens in act
i've cooperation, and put Marietta in a
clearly condition. Visit houses and
the schools and get the children not to
throw scraps of paper on the streets
and the citizens not to empty trash on
the streets, and thus all work with
pride to make the streets and premises
of our people clean and attractive, as
it is now one Of the most beautiful
cities in all the Southland
We would be glad to see our ladies
organize an improvement society and
get the city council to aid and help
them to push forward so desirable a
movement of this character. The Jour-
nal will be glad to help in any way to
bring about such q desirable condition,
Now is the time to do it. Get busy.

TO CUT THEM DOWN,

Mr.. Charles l. Ansley, of Americas
Ga has $4,000 peach trees, five years
old, which he says he intends to cut
down-most of them-this winter.
He says: Il consider the growing OF
peaches fine thing for the railroads
the canneries and the commission mer-
chants, but poor thing for the grow
err" He says money cannot be made
for less than 81 so to 81 rs per crate, as
it cost from 80 cents to $1.O0 to pick
pack and put them on the market. He
says his chief objection is that it is a
two weeks perishable crop, and he
doesn't care to be forced to consign his
crop to people in distant cities to fix
the price.
