Make Covington “The City Beautiful”
How can this be done? “By every
man sweeping in front of his own
door.” Never in the history of Cov¬
ington has there been a time, when
Covington hais been so nearly “The
City Beautiful,” as today. Through
the progressive and capable Mayor,
Geo. T. Smith, and his efficient coun¬
cil, this city has made more strides
towards its improvement, both in its
beauty of appearajnee and in the able
and safe manner in which her munici¬
pality is handled. So the Civic
League is urging every home-maker
in Covington to aid the mayor and
his council by beautifying their own
grounds. This can be done by only
a small cost and in many cases, if
the homemakers will do their own
work, the grounds around their homes
can be beautified without any cost.
There are many elegantly and fault
less'y kept grounds around homes in
our city, hut let’s make a big effort
and not have, many beautiful lawns
in our city, but let’s have “all lawns
in our city things of beauty and joys
forever.” Put the axe to all rugged
shrubbry growth. Nothing is more
beautiful or easier kept than an un¬
broken lawn of well mowed grass.
You think of how to beautify the in¬
side of your homes. Now let’s begin
to think how can I beautify the out¬
side of my home.
Those owning unimproved property
can add so much to the appearance of
our city by clearing and cleaning
these lots. So let’s all combine in our
efforts^ and majke our city “The Beau¬
tiful.” THE CIVIC LEAGUE.
A CALL FOR HONOR TO BE PAID
OUR HEROES WHO WORE
THE GRAY.
(From a Daughter of the South)
Many years ago a woman of dear
old Georgia, in the quiet of her home
at Columbus, planned for the whole
South to set apart April 26th as the
day on which the Southland would
do honor to her heroes who wore the
Gray by mounding their resting plaice
with decorations of nature’s sweetest
flowers. Since 1866 this beautiful cus
tom has been observed, and each year
nature’s offering has been laid upon
the sleeping forms of our men who
honored us with their noble service,
during the years of the 60s. When
the custom was first commemorated,
only our soldiers were given the hon¬
or. But today the glorious Decoratio
Day in the Southland is used to do
honor to all our dead, and this ap¬
peal is made to beg those of us who
have lost our loved ones, and who
hold their memory as sacred “as the
ruddy drops that visit her sad heart,”
let’s honor their memory on our Dec¬
oration Day by putting our garlands
on the graves of our gallant men who
gave us their life-blood, and not on
the graves of our own sleeping loved
ones. We would not take one moment
of sweet peace from those who wish
to honor their dead, but there are
three undred and sixty-four days
which are given us to do them hon¬
or, and only one given us for “Our
Soldiers,” so let's take all our floral
offerings and lay them lovingly on
our sleeping heroes. Remembering
that none of us have any sleeping
dead, who, if they could speak, would
say:
“Put no wreaths upon my grave,
The ‘boys in gray’ are calling.
Can you not heair them as they say,
‘We saved you by our falling.’”
