Nettleton Has Cleanup Day

Nettleton, Miss, March 18.-
The Nettleton Civic Improvement
League celebrated st. Patrick S
Day in a very appropriate and
basiness-like manner by>meeting
and giving the "old town" a
cleaning up, which has added
wonderfully to its appearance.
This league, which is becoming
an important factor in the life
and appearance of the town, has
for it's officers the following:
Mrs. w. G. Webb, president;
Mrs w. G. Francis. vice rresi-
dent; Mrs. w. H Roberts, secre-
tary and treasurer; Miss Mary
Tapscott. corresponding secreta-
ry; DR.. Chas. B. McCown, SAM
tary advisor; Sam w. Tapscott,
press reporter.
Early in the day, the members
of the league. as we'll as other
citizens of the town who have
the interest Of the town at heart,
assembled at the Peoples Bank
building, and with shoyeIs, rakes,
hoes and brooms proceeded to q
day of ardu0us labor IN removing
debris and all things of uns ghtIy
nature and appearance from the
streets, and so we'll was this
work accomplished that when
the days work was completed
it seemed that Nettleton might
have some chance in the Most
Beautiful City" contest.
At noon. in the K. of. P. hall,
a most sumptuous repast was
served and a sample of this
spread would prove to even the
most exacting that the ladies of
Nettleton also excel in the Gull
nary art as we'll as in their de-
termination to keep a clean and
beautiful town.
Now, with our town clean and
placed in a good sanitary condi
ton, we ought to be able to live
more comfortably in the summer
season if the other great nuisance
the dust-can be properly COM
bated. The mavor is already in
correspondence to ascertain the
cost of oil for the bushes streets,
which are so much affected by
The dust in the summer season,
and if oil can be had for sprink-
ling the streets. the dust nuisance
will then disappear and with our
town both clean and dustless it
will, indeed, be a pride to all who
live within our borders. 1t is a
source of much qualification that
the city administration and the
league are working hand in hand
for a cleaner, a more healthful
and a more beautiful Nettleton.

The bottles may be given at 6 and 8

the baby will need one more night
