r 1 I What Can be Done to Make I Bamberg a City Beautiful? My subject is a very broad one arid K. I shall not attempt to tell of all the "ways in which we might make our home town a city beautiful. I shall merely strive to give a brief outline of the work that ought to be done. The ladies of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and of the Civic league have no doubt done much for the good of Bamberg. But, what can |U they accomplish lacking the support of the citizens of the town? The officials and residents of Bamberg, including the smallest children, need to work together. They should be jg co-workers and strive to accomplish jjj/j.. that one thing, to make our town one of which to be proud. Bamberg / is a thriving town and is well situated, but there is no reason why it should not become more prosperous, gfe With some money and earnest endeavor our town can be made one of the most attractive cities of the fife" State. . / One of the town's greatest needs > ' is a park. What is more important jj|f to the children and the town in general than this? Here in the quiet coolness the children may run, jump, iand play. This exercise brings to their cheeks that ruddy glow which signifies perfect health. And what goes more toward the making of peri . feet manhood and womanhood than good health? Nothing will be more .beneficial to the children who are soon to grow to be men and vwomen than a park, i Thus in furnishing them with a paTk where they can find pleasure, amusement and instruction, ^'e are helping to make of them good citizens. It has been said, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," and the merchants can do much toward helping in this matter. They can keep thejr stores and the premises clean and sanitary. If every merchant would do this Main street would look much better. Let the men take care of their stores and the women of the homes. Properly attended lawns and paved I- < streets would add much to the beauty of our town. If each man would V ;have the side-walk in front of his home paved we would notice a great jl^ improvement. This would not only ||L- add to the beauty of the town but would also increase the value of perBp&: sonal property. The railroad should Klgkr 'v be forced to keep its right of way clean. People should refrain from It* throwing papers and peelings on the side walks. The town should be properly drained. If all these things were done Bamberg would be much fe improved. All of our public buildings need I improvements. Our school buildings should be repaired, and modern conveniences installed. Flowers, trees and grass should be planted. Although we have a fairly good library we need more standard literature. This alone elevates the mind, thus l\ creating a desire for higher and bet. ier things. I feel that I am safe in speaking [ . in behalf of the students of Bamberg 5* / high school. Thhre is not one among us who is not willing to do all in his or her power for the benefit of Bam?fp-;* berg.' Let the others do their* part Spfe and we will do ours. ' Havitfg accomplished these things p. we should ever be mindful of the |^. stranger in our midst. Let us always extend a cordial welcome to them ^ and point out with pride the beauties of our town. Qh, citizens of Bamberg. I appeal ^ to you to give your time and money ?to this worthy cause. Let us work Kj- as one and accomplish that which we " all desire so much. We can do it. Let us say that we will do it. Go |p:' about it with vim and determination . and note the results. Let's / have every stranger who comes to our town say that Bamberg is indeed a \ city ueaumui. ' MARGARET EASTERLING. There are a number of wavs to make Bamberg beautiful. Cleanliness and health are things to be looked after. We all would like to see Bamberg a clean, healthy, and beautiful place. Streets and side-walks add much l&T to the beauty of any place, if they are kept clean and well fixed. We | V should like to have all the streets bricked, and the side-walks paved. But it seems as if this is impossible. We can, though, keep the streets and side-walks clean. They should be widened, leveled, and clayed, also ' all the mud puddles and holes should be covered up. Men and women, as well as children, should not be allowed to throw pieces of paper, tin cans, and other such trash out in the streets, but must keep them and put them in the rubbish barrel. Shade trees ought to be set out along the side-walks. The trees then must be kept well trimmed. Electric lights are another thing to be looked after more than they are. Lights should be placed in all places where they are needed. Many dark places have no lights. A well Iterfife ... , INHALED POISONOUS FUMES. Infant Dead, Mother, Son and S< vant 111.
