Pence, be 1t understood Is the man

But coming back to the story.

It seems that Freddus Pence had
made big plans for homecoming
In Marion Sunday afternoon, and, with
progress of extra time, Freddus was
beginning to figure it that ii neither
team scored winning goal very soon,
he (Pence) was going to miss his train
for home and the grand opening of
the Marion club season.

Draper Sets Next
 Week as Clean Up Week

To the Citizens of Ashdown:
 Whereas, it is the opinion of the City Council and all citizens, that the town should immediately proceed to clean up and beautify our town for May day, and it is strictly necessary for the general health of our town, TOW proclaim the week beginning with Monday. April 24th, and ending Saturday, April 29th, as general clean up week.
 Burn what trash as will burn and pile that which will not burn near the street or alley. The city wagons will remove same.
 During this week every citizen of Ashdown should make an effort to clean up his house and property so as to avoid fire risk, to clean up his front and back yard, to paint his pre- n.ises if necessary, to abolish all plac- es that might breed flies and mosqui- tos, tc eliminate dandelions and weeds and to help clean up vacant lots.
 Citizens should put their rubbish near the streets or alleys. If collec-
The Little River news., 1916-04-19

ton is net immediately made. they should telephone the officials, and it will be moved immediately. If all refuse is placed in such a manner so that it can be easily loaded and cart ed away, Ashdcwn will be readily cleaned.
 This is an opportunity for every citizen not only to show his personal pride, but also his civic pride. No city is attractive if it is dirty and lit tered up. All should be willing to CO., operate in cleaning up not only their own premises, but in helping to clean up the premises of others where help is necessary.
 Let us all work together to clean up and paint up Ashdown during this week set aside, and then keep is that way throughout the entire year and for many years to some. Let us plant grass and flowers. Let us make Ash down not only clean, but beautiful. The result will be a cleaned, health fer, happier and more attractive city.
