The Civic League held it's regular
monthly meeting at the Court House
Monday afternoon, Feb. 18th. Good
reports from the different committees
show the League to be wide awake
and doing splendid work in every de-
partment. We are glad to mention
the great improvement in the appear
ance of the business streets in the
way Of unsightly things not being al
lowed to be put on the pavements.
Truly the Town Council has taken a
progressive step in passing an ordi-
nance forbiddng the hItching of hors-
es on the business blocks-a much
needed sanitary correction. The May
or is having the streets cleaned every
Saturday night so as to present re-
spectacle appearance for Sunday. This
work has been carried on through the
efforts of the street committee of the
League. This cooperation is very much
appreciated by the League. A check
for $4,000, our quota for the establish
ment of community club at Camp
Sewer, has been sent to headquarters.
AS soon as all the money from the
chain of teas is collected, we hope to
hand the Red Cross a substantial
amount from this much enjoyed enter
tainment Of the past four weeks. The
following new names were added to
our roll at the last meeting: Mrs. j.
w. Wideman, Mrs. Carlisle Bradham,
Mrs. /. |. Applet, Mrs. e. L. wilkins,
and Mrs. L. L. Wells. The member
ship Is ever on the increase total be-
ing 90, but we are always on the alert
to get others to join us and help make
Manning one of the cleancst and most
beautiful towns in the state.
