CITY BEAUTIFUL
MEETING Is HELD
COMMITTEES ANNOUNCED
INSPIRING MEETING OF NEW
ORGANIZATION is HELD AT
COURTHOUSE.

The Conway city beautiful associa-
ton held its first meeting at the
courthouse last night. Circuit Clerk
J. H. Hartje deserves honorable
mention for having had the court
house chamber cleaned up in a pre-
sentable manner, which of itself was
practical demonstration of what the
ASSOCIATION stands for.
After a few Introductory remarks
and practical suggestions by the
president, Mrs. G. H. Burr, DR.. J.
W. Conger made an inspiring ad-
dress on the general uplift value of
the city beautiful. He was followed
by practical talk from Prof. C. C.
Denney. Among other things, Mr..
Denney suggested that a loving cup
be given to the citizen making the
greatest improvement IN beautifying
his own yard by September l. He al
SO offered to donate the cup. These
/ talks and suggestions were received
with enthusiasm by the audience.
Perhaps no city in the state has
better natural advantages than Con-
way, and no city could be made beau
t,ful with less expense 1t is indeed
city of stately oaks and magnifi-
cent distances, and ought to be made
a thing of beauty N a short time.
Some of the needed improvements as
referred to by the speakers last night
We're: new depot, a beautiful court
repaired fences, paved streets in the
business section, more slightly avn
ings, cleaner sidewalks.
brought about by very little effort
from each person if each would do
his part. AS Mr. Denney suggested
in his talk, everyone should begin at
home, and then all should work to-
gether for the larger needs. If all
these improvements could be made
within the next year or so, he declar-
ed, it would bring about a transfer
nation in the life of Conway as moth
ing else would. The Conway City
Beautiful Association, he said, is in
deed a worthy organization, and the
president IS anxious for everyone to
do his duty.
