Civic League Column
RUITBD BT tub LBAQUE.
Meeting*, Meat Friday ef Bach Month.
The Mayor anil the town
Sergeant have responded nicely
to the suggestion contained in
this column last week, as to
keeping tli<> business section of
the town clean, and at a recent
interview with a committee of
tin- League, gave assurance
that the ordinances on this
subject would be enforced, We
take this opportunity of warn?
ing our fellow citizens that the
authorities will be after them
and lim s will be in order in
case there is not ijllick marked
improvement in this respect.
The League is delighted to
learn that the lot at the South
east corner of Wood Avenue
and Hast Fifth Street, one of
the most prominent spots in the
town and long an eye.sore, has
recently passed from the owner?
ship ol a uon resident to that of
Mr. A. Kelly Mann, our enter?
prising grocer, and we have no
doubt he will shortly convert
this from its present unsightly
and dilapidated condition into
a corner of which the town will
be proud.
The League also hears with
satisfaction that there is a
movement on foot by the town
authorities to condemn as tin
sanitary and a menace to the
health of the town, the small
shacks on the lol at the South
wesi corner of Fast Fifth Streot
and Shaw nee Avenue near the
dummy bridge We - .e most
heartily in sympathy with this
movement, and sincerely hope
that this w ill he acted on with?
out delay.
The League has had corres?
pondence with several of the
leading nurseries best adapted
to our wants for the purchase
of shade irees for Fast Fifth'
Street in Plot:', and has decided
to order loo Norway maples 8
to |o feet in length from .1. F.
Hood and Co., Richmond, Va.J
and will prepare at once for
setting them out on this street.
The regular price on these tre. s
is iI '11 each at the nursery, but
the Leairiie is getting a special
price of 70c, per tree delivered
at llig Stone t Sap. Any resident
wishing to order such trees can
atld their order to ihe League's
on the same terms. Please
communicate at once with Mrs.
I-'. I'). < loodloe.

The moral and spiritual up?
lifting of our people is of great?

Now comes Russell again
with another bond issue for
good roads. That county has
had a taste ami wants more
Tho decisive vote is evidence of
two tilings. Ono is that a good
road pays the public. The other
is that the people of Russell
have ihe shrewdness to recog?
nize a fact when they see it and
the nerve and public spirit to
back their judgment, It seems
the good mads movement is
real nt last. Virginia, as usual,
a little slow and cautious start?
ing, when she once starts goes
right to the front and takes the
lead of everybody. Ten years
from now this State will be
transformed. People returning
then aftei absence of some time
will hardly recognize it as the
same country and hardly be?
lieve their own eyes.?Roanoke
