 SPAN THIS SUNDAY City Beautiful Club Forces Achieve Great Results by
 Cleanup Campaign.
SOME TRASH REMOVED
Wagons Were Busy Throughout Day Hauling Tin Cans and Refuse Gathered by the "Cleaner
 City" Brigade.

Saturday, May 16, will go down in history as cleanup day in Pine Bluff. The day was set aside several weeks ago by the ladies of the City Beauti- full club and Mayor Simon Bloom as the day on which Pine Bluffians should postpone other things and take up the broom, shovel and rake and use them to the best advantage in cleaning their premises and having the debris removed from the place.
 The proper spirit was shown, as early yesterday morning the people began work, cleaning everything and everywhere. The housewife, the schoolboy, the business man and even the man of leisure rolled up his sleeves and Init the ball" to make the cleanup day a success.
 The Boy Scouts again proved their worth and could be seen throughout the day, hustling from one end. of the city to the other. The boys were of the different committees useu the boys to good advantage by having them run erra1ds and help in every way pOSslDle.
 Mayor Simon Bloom and City Engi- neer F. R. Allen started out with the city teams early in the morning and worked with the ''cleaner Pine Bluff" campaigners all during the day. The teams were used in carry ing away the rubbish and all day long telephone calls came from every part of the city asking to send out the wagon to carry away the accu- mulated debris.
 The chairmen of the various com mittees selected by the City Beauti- full club spent the entire day visiting every nook and corner of the city and instructed the subcommittee as to the work to be done. Many places were visited where the cleanup work was in progress, while some homes were also visited where the tenant or landlord could not be induced to cleanup or assist those who were willing.
 By nightfall Pine Bluff was a city beautiful. The committees disbanded,

For Sheriff of Sharp County
at The General Election,
Sept. ii, 1914.

Evening Shade, August Is, 1914.
AS | understand, there will not be
public campaign, | take this method
of making it known to the voters of
Sharp county why am in the race
for Sheriff. | have written Bud
Kirtley, the democratic nominee, to
meet me at as many as five places
in the county for the purpose Of ex-
planning why | am in the race.
have not heard from him, so | Judge
ne will not make yny public speech
eS to give me the opportunity Of ex.
planning why lam opposing him in
this contest. My objection to the
nominee is that he did not run on
democratic principles, as he should
Equal rights to all, and special priv
ileges to none, is a democratic
maxim.
Bud may say that if there were
tricks worked they were unknown
to him, but it occurs to me that he
was bound to know what was going
on. A business man in Evening
Shade organized with a republican
in this township to get all the re-
publicans to the polls he could and
they would see that they would get
to vote, stating that this was the
time to get Bud into office, so the
republican organizer talked with his
men, and some feared that they
would not to vote, so he explained
to them that the business man said
if they would come to vote every
thing would be O. X. The republic.
an organizer informed some of the
republicans On the day Of the elect
ton that now was the time to get
the nearest republican in office
Sharp coiinty would ever have.
When theFeRmblicans began to vote
here one of Buds friends, a clerk of
the election, went to the phone and
informed the voters of Sullivan
township to get their republicans
to the polls and vote them and to
Get johnson word to do likewise
that they were voting them here
1t seemed that this was a point
gained, in my judgement. If they
would work a deal like that here
Bud and his friends would arrange
the same kind of a deal any where
else they could. | want it under
stood that I do not claim that all
the repubaHns voted for Klrtley
in the county, | feel sure that they
did not, but when a man runs in
the primary and gets in with the
republican party in the way he did,
deceives the party and thereby for
feits any obligation of the democrat
ic party by reasons of his nomi-
nation, anG in my judgement he
and his friends practiced deception
on both parties, Now, if any Of
the above statements are denied,
all Bud has to do is to ask for the
names of the parties who partici-
pated in these matters and they
will be freely given,
The sum of ten dollars was offered
a man in Davidson township by one
Of Buds campaign managers, to turn
said township to him in the primary
election and said bid has been rails
ed to fifteen dollars for the same
mans influence for Bud in the COM
ing General Election 1t seems
that the same schemes are being
worked now as were successfully
operated in the primary, expect

not get it, am now asking a fair
election, and respectfully request
