CLEAN UP
TUESDAY
Every Person in Town is Asked
To Lend a Hand to Help Make
the Town Healthful and
Beautiful by Moving
Trash July 9th.

The ladies composing the league
feel very much encouraged ut the
support of the citizens of the town
in the effort to make Tazewell the
healthiest, cleanest and prettiest town
in the state. The civic pride of our
people seems to be stirred up, and
nearly ever yone is saying: "Go
ahead, we are not only behind you,
but we are going to help you." That
Is the spirit that helps the town, and
it is exactly what we expected every
body to do.
Now then, with this spirit of coop
GRAFTON on the part of everybody, it
general clean up day. We have fixed
is decided that we shall first have u
upon Tuesday, the 9th day of july:
that's next Tuesday. On that day
every man, woman and child is ex-
pected to help. We want every owner
OF home or lot to clean up their
back premises as we'll as their front,
get all the ashes, trash, paper and
everything that looks untidy togeth-
er and the council will will have
wagons ready to haul it all off that
day. We want to clean up not only
private premises on that day, but all
the streets and alleys and remove
every thing from them. weeds, paper,
trash of every kind, so they will look
clean, neat and attractive. Now if we
all join together on that day (Tues-
day. and do n little, we can soon
accomplish it and it will be something
like n community gathering, or pic
mic, and when it is over we want to
look it all over and be so pleased
with our work that we can pat our
selves on the back and say, "well
DONE"
Every man, woman and child, both
white and colored, is expected to lend
a hand at the work that day; big. lit
tie, old and young are expected to
help. We can all do something. Let's
do it and do it in such manner that
we will be proud of the job.
The merchants will all be asked to
close their stores, at least a part of
the day and all offices and business
houses of every kind in the town are
also asked to close and all get to-

The ladies expect to divide the
town into districts and show each
citizen where he is expected to work.
and the council of the town will fur
nish help and wagons to carry out
the work.
Don't forget the day-all business
to be stopped and everybody on hand
to help. If you are not physically able
to work at it, be present any way, to
lend the encouragement of your pres
ence, and you can point out things to
be done by the others. 1t will not cost
you anything but little sweat, and
that's good for every one. The little
expense incurred will be horne by the
council and the League.
DR.. r. p. Copenhaver, Miss Mayola
Gillespie and the Sergeant of the
town will have general supervision
of the work for the whole town on
that day.
1t has been reported that in the
rear of some of the business houses
of the town, there is quite an accumu-
lation of trash which ought to re-
ccive attention by the owners of the
premises before the regular day for
cleaning up and it is hoped that this
will be. done at once, so as to leave
nothing for the, general day, except
little dressing up.
This suggestion is also made to all
the citizens. Don't wait for clean up
day, but go to work now on your
premises, and pile the trash, so it
can be conveniently reached with a
wagon and carried off on Tuesday.
Now that the League is starting
the movemAnt, let none of Us hold
back or throw any obstacles in the
way.
Tuesday, the 81 is the day; all
business to be temporarily suspended;
everyone is to put on his working
clothes and every body ready, willing
and anxious to work. We can ther
improve the appearance of the town
very much, and can very greatly
diminish the danger of disease.
/ Now, all together. here we go!
