PICKENS, S. c.. APRIL 3, l91,
THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL

other things too numerous tc
mention. In some instances
untenanted houses present rath-
er unsightly appearances from
the standpoint Of the outside.
Might not the unimproved lots
be kept free from trash heaps,
our front yards made more It
tractive by a more general use
of flowers and grass, our back
premises kept free from that ac-
emulation of rubbish with
which all householders are so
painfully familiar, and our pub
lie places made more attractive?
Grass, flowers and shrubs prop
erly handled would work a
transformation in the appear
ance of things about our little
town.
How about the mayor calling
a mass-meeting of the ladies at
some suitable time quite soon to
discuss this. If the women be-
come interested, and take hold
of this matter of improving the
public places and streets, prop
erty owners will fall in line and
get to work on fences and front
yards and back yards, lots,
barns and everything else We
CAN make our town The Village
Beautiful. Why not DO it?

AS a citizen of Pickens who is
interested in the welfare of the
town, I suggest the formation
of an association, call it what
you will, for the Improvement
of the physical condition of our y
community. Upon entering the
town. a stranger will at once be
struck by the natural beauty Of
the place. Not so surely, how
ever, will one be struck by the
artificial beauty. By artificial
beauty is meant the beauty Ct
clean streets, green lawns. well
kept public places, such as
churches, school houses and
grounds, court house and sur
roundings: such as blooming
flowers, etc.
True there are a number Of
beautiful, well kept homes that
adorn our town, but these are
what they are because of the
fact that their owners love the
beautiful, and that which is di-
rectly under their control is
made beautiful by them. There
are also quite a number of ILL
kept places, for instance, unim-
proved lots adorned with piles
of rubbish, broken fences, drifts
of leaves, growing weeds, and
like a merchants sale poster,

Rev. w. 7. Abbott at Nit. Grove

Rev, w. 7. Abbott preached
at Mountain Grove church last
Sunday. On account of the
bad weather there were not very
many out but what few were
out enjoyed his sermon. He
also preached an excellent ser
mon at A. G. Eden's Sunday
night and he bad a large crowd
and al seemed to enjoy his ser
mon. We believe they did. We
wish we could hear him every
Sunday and twice through the
week. And when he putteth
forth his own sheep he goeth
before them and the sheep fol,
low him for they know his
voice. And a stranger will they
not follow, but will flee from
him for they know not the
voice of the stranger, May
the dear Lord bless his efforts.

at Zion church on the 10Th day
of March, 1913, when Mrs. Lu-
la Hudson was buried. She
leaves a young husband and
three small children, the baby
only a few days old. When she
realized that she was dying she
asked those around her to sing
but they We're so grief-stricken
that they could not, and with
her dying breath she sang:
Jesus lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly
Mrs. Hudson was a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Leslie
and was in her 23d year. Mrs.
Hudson was a bright and lovely
Christian young woman and

for a young wife and mother to
be called away, but our Heaven
ly Father, doeth all things we'll,
The family haye the sympathy
of the entire community.

Ice Must Be Going Up!

When Mr. Moresi secured the
two ice wagons, it was thought
that tn sse were very appropriate
improvements, but now many
deem it an expensive one indeed.
Ice seems to have reduced in
size since the ice wagons made
their appearance in this city;
being that the warm weather has
set in, one might wonder why
one gets so small a piece of ice
for his money. Is it on account
of the cost of the new wagons,
or is it because it is so warm that
when the ice man comes around
in the morning, the ice has melt
ed half its size in a few minutes.
Opelousas has only one ice fac
tory, but the people Of this city
expect to get as much ice for
their money, as they would in
other towns of the same size.
