JOHNSTON LETTER.
"Clean Up Week" Observed.
Death of MIR. Y. S. Park
man. Afternoon Pic
mic Held.

"Clean-up-W Week. was observed
here during the past week, the move
ment being put on by the council, and
prize of SIS was offered for the
most attractive back yard. At many
of the homes the back yards are just
as attractive as the front, with flow
ers, shrubbery and shade trees, and
the town, in a general way, is a pref
ty spot. The movement, though was
good one and such will keep any
town an attractive and healthy place.
The council went around on tour
of inspection and found it a hard
matter in making decision, for
everywhere looked so nice. They are
wishing it had been blue ribbon Of
fered, so then blue ribbon could
have been tied on every back gate.
The times do not permit of SIS being
placed at every gate
