' Will Hazlehurst
Be Shadeless?
Ten years ago Hazlehurst had
the name of having the pretti
est and the most attractive
shade trees of any city in this
section, but here of late dozens
of the finest trees have suc
cumbed to the ax and in aeveral
parts of the city it is getting to
be almost treeless. Only last
week several beautiful trees
were felled for what purpose
no one seems to know. Nothing
helps to beautify a city more
than beautiful shade trees well
kept. Lets don’t cut down any
more!

Ladies Cemetery Working
Meeting With Approval
The ladies of Hazlehurst,
headed by Mrs. Dr. Hall, took
it onto themselves to have the
have the Hazleburst cemetery
cleaned up, plant shrubbery,
and Dbeautify it in general.
They started out by asking the
City Dads for a donation, This
was met wilh approval and
$125.00 of the citizens money
was contributed to this worthy
cause by the officials. Then the
jadies, in different committees,
canvassed the city asking for
private donations and it was
remarkable how the citizens—
both men and women— respond
to their worthy appeal. Every
citizen, with the exception of
three, contributed. The pride
of a city is judged by the way
the ‘‘silent city of the dead’’ is
kept, and the ladies of Hazle
hurst are determined to put the
local cemetery in the kind of
condition it should be kept.
