Office of the Business College
Opens In Earl Building
Monday

The office of the Southwest
ern Business College will be OPP
ened by President Padgett in
the Earl Building, 30612 Front
street, Monday and the rooms
will be equipped ready for the
opening by Wednesday.
Mr.. Padgett states that he is
very much pleased with the
outlook for a good enrolment
from the beginning in both the
day and the night schools and
that future prospects for a good
school are bright.
There is no reason why New
port should not have a good
business college and many reas-
ons why we should have one.
Not only will this institution
keep our own boys and girls at
home but will bring many 9TH
ers here to spend their money
with our merchants and they IN
turn will attract others here, all
of whom would go elsewhere, SO
t behooves everyone interested
in the progress of our city to
lend a helping hand by doing a
little boosting, which costs no.
thing and will go far toward
making the school a success.
Our young people should not
overlook the fact that the man
agement is offering a months
free tuition and a special dis
count to the first twenty-five
enrolled.

AN APPEAL FOR LITTLE
PARK,

The ladies of the Civic I'M
provement Club are working
very hard to make the little
park at the corner of Pine and
Second streets a place of beau
ty. That it already meets a
need is already demonstrated
by the number of boys and girls
always seen playing there.
We want to have it in order
by the time of the Teachers In
stitute, as it is planned to en-
terrain the teachers there one
evening. Lights and seats are
to be put in and for this we ask
contributions from all our bust
ness men.
In many towns in our state,
such parks and Fairgrounds are
maintained and the delegates
from our Civic Club, felt not a
little chagrinned, when hearing
reports at the recent meeting Of
the Federation of Women's
Clubs, that they could report so
little. Let us wake up, join the
procession and keep up with
the foremost.
Our people are showing a
great deal of interest in beauti-
flying their homes. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that the town
never looked so pretty, but
while making our homes attrac-
tive, let US not forget the waste
places.
One vacant lot foul with
weeds can scatter seeds over the
whole town. Let us also clean
before our own door and a little
further. One pool of filthy wat
err can serve as incubator for
enough mosquitoes to inoculate
half the community with mala-
ria. One small heap of tin cans
can be the nursery for enough
flies to give us or our neighbors
typhoid.
The continuous rains have
made the weeds grow rank and
we ought to go after them
Now that school is out we ask
the boys to lend a hand to con-
stitute a cleanup" committee
and take in hand the vacant lots
and neglected alleys. 1t would
be a fine thing for them to do.
1t will be a lesson in good citi-
zenship, and we ask all our cit
liens to help us now in provid-
ing seats and lights.
Mr.. Denly offers to give us
the work and the wiring and
the light company will give the
current. We also want a con-
crete basin around the hydrant |
which Mr.. ClaXton gave. This |
basin to contain waste wat
err, and thereby serve as a
drinking fountain and bath
for the birds, as we'll as a lava
tory for little bare feet and
hands that have made mud pies.
Seats we must have and our
heart is set on a rope swing. We
don't want to make a personal
appeal, but we do want the |
men of Newport to help us and
We believe they will. Send |
your donations to Mrs. M. A.
Dorsey or Mrs. H. c. Sanders.
