Hurrah For The
Civic League
Keep your eye on Cochran. It is
going to be the prettiest city in the
State of Georgia. The Ladies Civic
League have appointed a commit
tee to beautify each street. Trees
and shrubbery will be planted.
Lattice work will he erreeted on
each side of the bridges that span
the big ditch and seats will lie pro
vided where you can rest and ad
mire the beauties of the *‘big
ditch”. Just think of it the ladies
are surely going to transform that
big ditch which was once an eye
sore and a disgrace to the town, to
a thing of beauty and it is sanitary
too. The ditch has been cleaned
out. It drains nicely an l you no
longer hear of it being a menace to
the health of the city. And by the
way our town has been unusually
healthy this year. But don’t stop
at what we have done, just remem
ber we must have sanitary closets
and a street sprinkler. The ladies
say we a*e going to have the pretti
est town in Georgia, and we must
have the cleanest town in Georgia.
When we have the prettiest,
cleanest and healthiest town in
Georgia with every modern conven
ience and educational advantage,
people will just have to move to
Cochran. They will fall over each
other getting here. The main thing
just now is to provide for new
comers. We should have a live
real estate agency here that can se
cure building lots at reasonable
prices.
The creating of the new County
of Bleckley, the good cotton crop
this year with a fair price, has
given a lively impetus to business
in our city, but lookout people,
there is danger of putting too high
a valuation on city lots and raising
rents. When a property owner
asks much or more for a lot than it
will cost to erect a nice dwelling on
it the would-be purchaser is sure to
become discouraged and will proba
bly conclude not to build. If store

rent becomes higher than the husi- j
ness justifies it will finally he detri- j
mental to the business interests of j
the city.
We can certainly cripple our
town by putting too high valuation
on property.
