CLEANUP WEEK.

The mayor has designated the week
beginning April 10 as cleanup week.
Now no one need wait until that
time TO begin this good work. Il can
be begun al once and spare time put
in whenever found. The main thing
is to do it and do a good job of it too.
An organized effort ought to be
made this spring to have vacant lots.
unsightly as the backlots sometimes
are, cleared of the rubbish that litters
them. These unused lots are one Of
the greatest blots on our city.
What do you say to having a real
cleaning this time?

BRIDGE GRATING ON
MOUSE-GIRDLED TREES.

Al this date it is too early to do
bridge grating. as the sap is not up
yet enough to let the bark slip. We
can do this work through April and
May after the sap is up, providing
we have DORMANT scions saved to
make the bridges. Scions should be
gathered at once and kept in a cold
place to keep the bark from shrivel-
ing. Dig hole the length of the
whips and cover with about six inches
Of moist dirt in a cool spot There
will be lots Of bridge grating to be
done in this upper district this sea
son. so do not fail TO save plenty of
scions.

CHARLEY CRISP. GROWS.

NIlAO' " CHloI congressman rep
resenting the Third Georgia dis
trict n"the lower national house,
continues to grow in the respect,
esteem and confidence of the people
whom he represents. His announce
ment made a few days ago of his
candidacy for reelection has been
received throughout the district with
utmost cordially, and it appears to
be becoming SO well recognized that
no man living in the district can
make much of showing against him
for the office that there will be no
serious opposition for him from this
time forward so long as he cares to
hold the office and continues to rep
resent his people in the able manner
that has characterized his record thus
lar. The Cordele Dispatch says of
his announcements:
Congressman Chas. R. Crisp is
announced for reelection as repre-
sentative of the Third district in the
next house. He is thoroughly alive
and watchful of the interests of the
people of his district and does much
work, but makes little noise. This
is truly characteristic of the man
worth while in public office. We be-
heve the people of the district appre-
clate him as a sincere, energetic,
wise worker in their interests"
The Vienna News pays him this
well merited compliment:
The announcement of Hon. Chas.
Il. Crisp as candidate to succeed
himself as congressman from the
Third district will be received nv
with pleasurable interest by his
countless friends throughout the dis
trlct and state. Mr.. Crisp has serv-
ed with distinction in this capacity,
and because of his experience and
knowledge Of governmental affairs is
peculiarly well equipped for contin-
ued service. 1t is believed that he
VIII nave no opposition"
And the Butler Herald remarks.
Our worthy congressman, Judge
Chas. r. Crisp, makes his formal an
nouncement in this issue of the Her-
Maid as candidate for election to the
k60th congress of the United States
Eto succeed himself. 1t is confidently
expected that Judge Crisp will be re.
elected without opposition"
THESE are but true samples of the
sentiment prevailing throughout the
district And we believe judge
crisp appreciates from the bottom of
ms grateful heart the response of the
people to his efforts to render them
conscientious service,
