EN PASSANT % __ With the beginning of the New Year our women should not feel satisfied until an organization of some sort for the betterment of our city is formed. The old say ing “ 'Tis better to wear out than to rust out might be correctly brought in bere for the majority of our women are busy with du ties, which are vital, but the im portance and necessity of such an organization is obliged to be ad mitted. In other respects our little city compares favorably with other cities of its size but in the matter of clean and attrac tive streets and walks it does suf fer and that civic pride which is embedded in every bosom should not allow present conditions to exist longer. They may not be kept as free from weeds and grass, especially in the summer as we would like to see them, bui that part of the work we cannot easily remedy —but we can see to to it that ad papers, trash and unsightly objects are cleared away. Scarcely a woman in town would not enlist in an Im provement League or City beau tiful Club and organized efforts directed in this way would bring results. The success of such or ganizations in other cities should stimulate active interest and lead to the formation of such a one here. The Anti-Tuberculosis Associa tion meets in Atlanta Monday the object being a full discussion of how to best prevent the spread of that most dreaded of all dis eases' — consumption.
