We are all rejoicing that the sun is j
shining.
Candidates are getting numerous in
Baldwin county.
Hon. J. M. Slaton has announced ss
a candidate for Governor.
When Macon gets that $1,600,000 un

Why not have a cleaning upjday? It

MILLEDGEVILLE MUST HAVE A
CLEANING UP DAY.
Naturally there is not a prettier
city in Georgia than Milledgeville,
and it soon will be at its best.
Ihe weather is now clear and warm
and the trees will soon l.e budding
and the flowers blooming.
1 lie time of the year has come
when our city should be given a
thorough cleaning up. During the
wet aud cold weather trash and dirt
have accumulated all over the city
and with the coming of spring all of
it should be cleaned away.
A cleaning up is necessary from
a health standpoint, and this should
make every citizen willing to join in
tin- movement. Trash and filth
breed disease and no community can
be healthy without having the cause
removed. Let the city council set
aside a day for cleaning up the city.
Let them make arrangements to aid
in this movement, aud let the citi
zens join enthusiastically.
This is not a light question to be
brushed aside. But it is of vast im
portance. The health of the people
is at stake.
In many cities of Georgia this
movement has received the hearty
oo-operation of the ladies, and they
have been the leading spirit.
Milledgeville must have a general
March 27th has been set aside for
purpose.
Every citizen should jonin in the
movement.
