TOWN cow" CIVIC PROBLEM.
Women of a Tennessee Municipality
Active For improvement

Women of a Tennessee Municipality
Active For improvement.
What can be done in the way OF
civic improvement in the smaller mu-
inequalities has been demonstrated by
the Civic Improvement club of Hunt
incton, Tenn. Organized in August,
1906, with thirty members, the CLUB
now numbers fifty. Inasmuch as the
clubs membership is limited to wom-
en-, that part of the work for q more
beautiful city which requires the serv-
ices of the men is left to the Hunting
ton Commercial club, and in many
things the two organizations cooper
ate TO advantage.
Interest in the work for which the
Improvement club was formed was
great from the beginning. Some OF the
questions to be considered were lin
iting the range Of "the town cow" re-
pairing the streets and sidewalks, the
suppression Of weeds along the side
walks and the removal Of waste paper
and sweepings from the streets.
By the cattle quarantine the town
cow soon was kept in proper bounds.
Councils were moved by public senti'
mcnt to repair unsighty sidewalks
and cut down tall weeds. The club
bought q dozen garbage cans anu dis
tributed them in various parts OF the
town so that shopkeepers and house
holders could put their waste paper
and trash in them.
Through the efforts OF the cluD the
barren square at the railroad station
was transformed into a park. The
railroad company fenced the park, set
out the trees and furnished the gravei
for sidewalks. The Commercial cluD
paid for the work of grading, Sraveling
the walks and a supply OF grass seed
The women's organization l'iahleu lne
walks and flower bedS ;lllI Superln-
ton.a-tf tho planting. Much OF that
work was done by members.
Two flower parks were placed in the
town square under the sole care Of tho
Civic Improvement club. These for
merly were vacant lots. adorned only
with hitching posts, weeds and sun
dry collection of lin cans. All the
plants. flower seeds and shrubbery
were supplied by friends Of the club.
In addition the club was active in
getting seventy-tive trees planted in
the highways and now is urging the
plantins of 500 more. For the benefit

Cut a piece of pine board to ABOUT

should be at least seven inches hlgn

should be as stout as No. y, or larger

In striking contrast with the North

the Blackwell depot is indeed beau

Its existence has stimulated an am

fords daily intense satisfaction to the
eve, and instead Of giving forth the
idea of cold commercialsm there is
involved the sense Of altruistic consid-
erations.
The Blackwells fully understand the
rights belonging to the public and have
a very much nobler form Of worship
than that of the dollar. All this you
NAV see in the comforts, safety and
embellishment Of this road and its
equipment.
The Blackwells have proved that the
presence Of railroad is not neces-

needs and wishes Of the villages
through which their road runs they
have done much to modify prevailing

conditions to hear the daughter argu-

She ought to be taught the beauty OF

to the best doctor in the city and he SAID
that she would have the sores until she
