$lO To Hart
Only Boys and Girls Oatside
Hartwell Eligible In Contest
MUST BE MAILED TO REACH
SECRETARY WHITE NOT
LATER THAN MAY IST
Some Hart county boy or girl is
going to get a crisp $lO bill for sug
gesting the best slogan for use in
Hart county this year along agricul
tural lines.
The prize is again offered to any
school boy or girl who lives outside
of Hartwell by the Kiwanis Club and
the same rules used last year hold
good this time.
Something short, spicy, to the
point—that’s what makes a good
slogan. Last year we had “Food For
Man and Beast—Poison For Mr.
801 l Weevil.” That covered a lots
of territory, and yet carried out the
plan as suggested by the Hart Coun
ty Farm Advisory Board.
Not more than ten words, if pos
sible, should be used, and the slo
gan must be written in plain hand
writing or on a typewriter.
Pupils may enlist the aid of par
ents, teachers or anyone else in mak
ing up their slogans.
Suggestions MUST be mailed to
Secretary Fred S. White, at The
Hartwell Bank, by Thursday, May
Ist. A committee will take charge
of the slogans and announce the suc
cessful contestant at the Kiwanis
meeting the following day, May
2nd.

DEATH OF YOUNG BOY
Howard Myers, age 8 years, died
at the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Earley E. Myers, in Cokesbury
community on Thursday, April 10,
1924, and was buried the following
day in the cemetery at Sardis.
Rev. Thos. J. Espy, pastor of Sar
dis Baptist church was in charge.
The death of the young boy was
caused by pneumonia. He had been
ill for several weeks. He was a
good boy and loved by all who knew
him.
Surviving besides his grief-stricken
parents are one brother, James My
ers, and five sisters, Mrs. H. O.
Teasley, Misses Carlise, Mozelle,
Florence and Louise Myers.
The sympathy of many friends ? is
extended the bereaved ones in their
bereavement. •
Funeral director W. C. Page, of.
Hartwell, was' in charge of the ar
rangements.
It is very gratifying to know that
so many of our people are going in
and paying their dues on $75,000,-
000 Campaign pledge to our Treas
ury, Bro. A. N. Page. It is so much
like the Hartwell church not to fall
down on anything. We must do this
big thing by April 27th. Let the
good women get busy and collect up
at once. We have not fallen down
so far. P’ailure is a habit and our
church must not get the habit of fail
ing.
Congregations were splendid at
both hours Sunday. Had 312 in
Sunday School.
One good deacon said, “it ought to
have been 500 instead of 312.” He
was right. Come Sunday and let’s
increase attendance. The pastor
hopes to preach Sunday on “What
will happen to a church, on “W’hat
knees in agonizing prayer.” It was
good to preach at Cedar Creek, and
assist pastor Hiott in ordination of
three fine men for deacons Sunday
afternoon.

UP WEEK”
Forward, Citizens, and Put
Dirt and Rubbish To Rout
,
EVERYBODY URGED TO JOIN
IN SPECIAL CAMPAIGN FOR
CLEANER, HEALTHIER CITY
Clean-up is in the air.
Public spirit and civic pride has
been aroused as never before and
the resut promises a Hartwell clear
ed of debris of a winter’s accumu
lation of rubbish and dirt, of weeds
and trash, with her face washed and
bright and shining, a credit to the
county and state.
Everyone is Drafted
Every citizen of Hartwell is en
listed in the clean-up squad. Every
man, woman and child is called upon
to do his or her share in cleaning up
the city from front to rear, inside
and otit, that it will be not only a
more beautiful city in which to live,
but a more healthful one.
“Civic cleanliness and paintliness
means a lowered fire risk, increased
sanitation and a better place in
which to live and work,” said Mayor
Richardson, in discussing the pur
poses of the campaign, beginning
next Monday.
The Clean Up and Paint Up cam
paign has been an established acti
vity in more than 7,000 American
cities for many years past and as
the very definite advantages of im
proved sanitation, lowered fire risk,
and increased beauty and pleasant
ness of civic cleanliness have been
made apaprent, the campaign has
grown in scope and importance. It
has done this because it enlists the
active interest and co-operation of
citizens of all classes in all walks of
life.
Hartwell will entertain many buy
ers and visitors from out of town
within the next few months, and the
opportunity to establish a reputation
as the cleanest, livest and most pros
perous* community in the entire
state is one that this newspaper does
not believe will be overlooked.
The purpose of the campaign is
to clean up streets, alleys, vacant
lots, homes and business properties,
and to keep them clean.
The Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
paign not only puts the community
in good sanitary condition, but
makes it possible to keep it clean.
Unless the work of cleaning up and
painting up is kept up by systematic
efforts the year around little per
manent good is accomplished. It
is important that the initial inten
sive work be general and thorough.
Then the follow-up work can be car
ried on effectively, and the danger
of unsanitary conditions returning
is removed.
The owners of vacant lots are re
quested to clean them up; tenants of
business houses are requested to
clean around their premises; also alf
residences be thoroughly cleaned and
made sanitary.
All trash should be placed in bo.v<M
or barrels, placed near the streets
and Chief of Police or other city
officials notified as to location; the
wagons will call beginning Monday
morning. Use your phone, and let’s
ail work to get Hartwell cleaned up.
