nix Chamber of Commerce, judges for
the fourth ward awarded second prize
to the home of A. R. Smith and wife,

general appearance The home of Dr.
and Mrs. w. c. Hackett, 1884 East
Jefferson ST., received honorable
mention, as did the home OF Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Brown, 1913 East Washing

Mrs Grace F. Fitzhugh. chairman
OF the fourth ward, reports:
The humble condition of this Sec
ton in general did not present much
that was slightly. but In many in
stances an effort to be tidy and clean
was apparent. Many vacant lots
have been cleaned thoroughly. The
home on the northwest corner of Had
ley and Second streets was extremely
neat and of very pleasing appearance,
and we recommend this place for the
first prize. A tiny little home with
tasteful trellises, we'll kept lawn and
rose bushes, at 1902 East Jefferson
street, bore witness of what can be
done with the simplest possession.
The owner is a colored man and the
committee recommends it for second
prize, both because it takes second
place in the committees Judgment
and as an incentive to further effort
on the part of the colored people in
this district. The home at S18 South
Second street presents every indica-
tion of effort to beautify and to keep
clean, and the committee recommends
this place for third prize. The COM
mittee would also recommend for
mention the homes of 427
and 1884 East Jefferson street. also
1918 East Washington street"
Prize winners called at the
chamber of commerce on Thursday to
