cIean-Up Days Observed.

Pursuant to the proclamation OF
the city board Of health and Mayor
Walter Lemann, Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, July % and
%. were observed as cleanup days in
Donaldsonvil1e. All classes of cltl-
zens entered into the spirit of the
occasion with commendable degree
of energy and cooperation, and that
their efforts were well directed and
productive of good results is attested
by the fact that 149 three-mule cart
loads of garbage and refuse. of all
kinds were hauled away by the carts
especially secured for that purpose.
The campaign was directed by City
Sanitary Inspector Robert E. Dill,
and has not only. resulted in mate
rial Improvement in the general ap-
spearance of the community, but is
certain to exercise an influence for
good on the public health.
Now that the city is clean, let US
keep it so, and make Donaldsonvllle
one of the heaIthiest, c1eanest and
most attractive little cities in the
state.
