CARD OF THANKS

We, the children and grandchildren of Mrs. M. M. Hartsell, wish to ex- press our thanks and appreciation for the kindness shown her during her illness and death, for the beautiful floral offerings and other express ions of kindness.
 Not far from the dawn of Easter day, March 26, 1921, in her eighty fifth year, Mrs. Mary Margaret Hart sell heard the words of the Master, 'Well done, good and faithful ser want, enter thou into the glories of thy Lord"
 While loved ones gathered by her bedside tenderly ministering to her comfort, her sweet spirit took it's flight from earthly scenes to her home in heaven.
 She was born in Monroe, North Carolina, August 31, 1887, and in her early girlhood united with the Jerusalem Methodist Church. She was married to A. H. Hartsell also of North Carolina in the year of 1857 and as la bride passed through the years of the Civil War with anxious fears. Reared in home of comfort and plenty she met the changed con- ditions of reconstruction days as bravely as her husband faced the foe on the battlefields.
 She was a faithful helpmeet to her husband, through the years of their long married life she walked and worked with him in the fellowship of a common devotion to unselfish and worthy ends. When a task was to be undertaken, burden to be borne or a sacrifice to be made she was all ways hsistent on doing more than her share.
 Her sympathy, patience and cour- age never failed, and her endeavor to serve knew no limit but that of her strength. Her devotion to her family was untiring, and the beauty of her. will alawys be sweet memory and blessing to her loved ones.
 Her children rise up and call her blessed" Her unselfish love and loy- al devotion to her home and all wor- thy causes proved her true Christ ian character. Her own works praise her in the gates." She needed no preparation to answer the summons, but calm and brave she faced the last debt of love.
 She leaves behind hearts bowed down with sorrow because her face has vanished, and her voice is silent but there comes to those hearts the triumphant assurance that she ha: not gone out into darkness and loneli ness, but has quietly obeyed the sum mons of her Lord to join him anc her waiting loved ones in the light and joy of life eternal.
 The funeral services, conducted from Union Church by the Rev.J. D. Baker of Warren, were simple, but impressive and comforting. In the presence of large number of friends and relatives and neighbors she was tenderly laid to rest between her husband and sons to await the resurrection morning.
 '1n my fathers house are many mansions ---..-...... l go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also."
 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints"

 Many German notables were pre- sent at the services, including Hind enburg Ludendorff and Mackensen. The last rites were said in the Chapel

MAYOR CALLS MEETING
To Discuss Plans For Clean-Up
 Week.

Mayor w. E. Galloway has called meeting of all persons interested i'll 1 bettering the sanitary conditions of the town to meet him in mass meet ing at the Court House Saturday af ternoon at two o'clock.
 The cleanup movement was organized by the Civic League and 1 plans are under way for the eradica- tion of mosquitoes and flies and un- less every person co-operates with the l plans the work cannot be properly done.
 Beginning Monday morning the Mayor will ask everyone to thorough ly clean their premises All garbage should be gathered into boxes or barrels and placed where they can be reached by drays and trucks that will be sent to gather them up and haul them away.
 The Rev. Calvin B. Waller, pastor the Second Baptist Church in Lit tie Rock, preached on Making the City Clean" last Sunday night, be- fore their Clean-Up Week began on Monday morning. In the course of his sermon Rev. Waller said in part: "Cleanliness is next to Godliness is proverb with much truth in it. | Filth is the anthesis of all that makes for health, happiness and religion. Filth is a hamburger fo germs, breeder of disease, and a vehicle of | death.
 Modern research has proven that at least 50 per cent of the deaths annually are from preventable dis eases. Fevers are transmitted by species of mosquito, the eradication of which means the eradication of these deadly levers. Our house fly l is the common carrier of tuberculo- sl4, typnoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever and many other deadly dsease4 The destruction of the fly will in a measure eliminate these diseases.
 Through a movement started and directed by the Civitan Club, this city is called cleanup week. All citizens should cooperate with these enterprising gentlemen in this worthy
 work for two reasons-health and
 beauty. No man has any more right
 to allow filth beds and cess pools on his property as a breeding place for germ-carrying, death-dealing flies
 and mosquitoes than he has to allow den of rattlesnakes to breed death to his own and his neighbors' fami
 lies It is species of murder. Every good citizen ought to have city pride
 and aspire to live in city beautiful.
 He who mars the beauty of his city by making it's streets dump ing ground for all sorts of rubbish and refuse is certainly guilty of a species of disloyalty to say the least of it. This Cleanup should mean beaides cleaning up, planting flowers shrubs, painting and whitewashing. This means work, but work pays.
 Mayor Galloway also wishes to present some plans to the meeting for various other things for the good of the town, and would be glad to have every business man of the town present at the meeting.
 The scoAts are especially invited to attend this meeting and all boys and girls interested in cleaning up and beautifying our city. The Clean-Up campaign will car ried on all the week and it is hoped that by Saturday our entire city will have been thoroughly cleaned. EN
