THE CAMPAIGN IS ON
FOR A CLEAN CITY
Local Club Women Engage in {.
Movement for a city Bcautifur
April ! to Re q Clean ID
Day"

For some time past The question ii
civic Improvement has been actively
aSitating the minds OF PINE Bluff pee
pie, and efforts have been made from
time 10 time 10 create q general in
tereot in clean streets and premises
as the first steps toward civic beauty,
out there has never been determined
effort an lie part OF the citizens as
whole, and therefore previous efforts
have failed % accomplish very ma
terial results. 4 Woman's Civic Inn
proyement League was organized IN
Pine Bluff some time ago, and is still
in existence, but for lack OF eneour-
agement on the part Of citizens, it has
failed 10 accomplish the results it
hoped for, though its Object was most
assuredly a patriotic one, and Wei
worthy Of encouragement. But ma,
interest has been kept Up in this Qles-
lion, however, especially amons III
ladies Of our city IS eYinced by 40
fact that in at least Two of The NO
mans clubs the Mathontes and
Sesame, the subject of civic improve
ment has been made part 0f the
years study, as laid down in their
year books, and at each Of their meet
ings interesting discussions have ta~
ken place, and much enthusiasm
created over this important factor to-
wards the welfare of Pine Bluff. AS
spring approached the desire of the
Mathontes Club to see our city at it's
best, became SO urgent that the vari-
Gus discussions and ideas took con-
crete form in the determination to in
augurate a campaign for cleanli
ness and they believe that everybody
will cooperate with them in making
it success.
At q recent meeting OF the MathOn
ties Club it was decided to invite the
various woman's organizations Of the
city to meet in the parlors Of the
Merrill Institute on March the 9th,
and formulate plans for general
cleaning up day, that day to be April
the 4th At this meeting on March
9th it is hoped to so enlist the aid
and interest OF these different Organi-
cations, which embrace a large num-
Der of the leading ladies Of the town,
that committees from each will be ap-
pointed to carry the work forward and
that the cooperation of every man,
woman, and child in the city, both
white and colored, may be enlisted in
the cause of civic cleanliness.
The superintendent, principals and
teachers of public schools will be ask
ed to put the matter before their pu-
pills, both white and colored, with the
hope that they will carry enthusiasm
into their homes, and in the question
of clean yards and pavements the in
terest of children can be made won
derful help. This week a committee
from the Mathontes Club will wait
upon our Mayor, our City Council,
Board OF Trade, Board of Health and
prominent business men asking their
assistance, and it is to be hoped that
these efforts will result in thorough
cleaning of streets, pavements, alleys
and premises on that day.
Lets all help. Let each individual
constitute himself or herself commit
tee of one to do everything possible
that will help to have clean. beauti-
full city after April 4th.

woven around scenes which are we'll

vOrably of the work. Mr. MCGhee

seeming fortune out Of mietortone
that his house and lumber yards were

it was allowed to run its course, but.
luckily, the wind was blowing In
such q direction as to drive the
flames from the residence, AMI the
wards where the greatest part of the

would also have been DESTROYED.
Mr.. Richardson stated tuesday
that owing to the extreme high rate

He places the loss at about 81, 900.
