Nothing adds more to the at
tractiveness of a town than clean,
well kept streets. Are the streets
of Water Valley clean? Just look
at them and judge for yourself.
Looks to us like a great improve
ment could be made, we don’t
know what you all think about it.
Put your old papers in barrels or
boxes, and then take them out into
the back way and burn them. The
ashes don’t look as bad as the
the old paper and other trash. In
this way you can help keep down
sickness. The other way you fur
nish germs nice and cozy residen
ces in which they can hide away
and raise large and healthy fami
lies. You just can’t calculate the
industry of the germ family. Let’s
make an effort to discount their
efforts. As an illustration of what
we mean: One old dirty, trifling
boy can keep one tired mother and
four tired sisters busy cleaning up
after him all the time. Well, it’s
same way with a community. Dir
ty people can keep any number
of wagons cleaning up after them
all the time, Help keep the streets
clean, you thoughtless fellow.
