Hende THE VILLAGE As a citizen of Pickens who is interested in the welfare of the town, I suggest the formation y of an association, call it what you will, for the improvement s of the physical condition of our + community. Upon entering the town, a stranger will at once be r struck by the natural beauty of r the place. Not so surely, how ever, will one be struck by the r artificial beauty. By artificial - beauty is meant the beauty of x clean streets, green lawns, well kept public places, such as churches, school houses and grounds, court house and sur e roundings; such as blooming e flowers, etc. y True there are a number of s beautiful, well kept homes that adorn our town, but these are what they are because of the: fact that their owners love the beautiful, and that which is di rectly under their control is made beautiful by them. There are also quite a number of ill kept places, for instance, uninm proved lots adorned with Hiles of rubbish, b oken fences, drifts _of leaves, growing weeds, and like a merchant's sale poster, Spring Improve ments in Pickens s J. D. Holder has had his of i fice building painted ant has { s also had his seed house white washed, which greatly improves 1 the appearance of this corner. H. B. Hendricks has had his gaiden fence whi.ewashed, also all the trees in the yard of the Pickens Inn. - A. J. Boggs has had his front (yard graded-down level, and he now has one of the prettiest places and handsonest houses in Pickens. _ T. D. Harris has had all the I trees and telephone posts in front of the Hiavatha Hotel whitewashed, Dr. Odom is coming.

In some instances untenanted houses present rath er unsightly appearances from the standpoint of the outside. Might not the unimproved lots be kept free from trash heaps, cur front yards made moi-e :.t tractive by a more general use of flowers and grass, our back premises kept free from that ac cumulation of rubbish with which all householders are so painfully familiar, and our pub lic places made more attractive? 3rass, flowers and shrubs prop 3rly handled would work a bransformation in the appear :nce of things about our little town. How about the mayor calling i mass-meeting of the ladies at some suitable time quite soon to liscuss this. If the women be :om.' interested, and take hold >f this matter of improvihg the public places and streets, prop rtv owners will fall in line and et to work on fences and front yards and back yards, lots, barns and everything else. We CAN make our town The Village Beautiful. Why not DO it? Citizen. Death of Mrs. Lula Hudson. That was a very sad funeral it Zion church on the 19th day >f March, 1913, when Mrs. Lu ,a Hudson was buried. She eaves a young husband and three small children, the baby )nly a few days old. When she ealized that she was dying she asked those around her to sing >nt they were so grief-stricken that they could not, and with Zer dying breath she sang: "Jesus lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly." Mrs. Hudson was a daughter >f Mr. and Mrs. John F. Leslie ind was in her 23d year. Mrs. Hudson was a bright and lovely hristian young woman and vill be greatly missed by her riends and relatives. It is sad or a young wife and mother to )e called away, but our Heaven y Father, doeth all things well, ['he family have the sympathy )f the entire community. .

Abbott at Mt. Grove Rev, W. T. Abbott preached at Mountain Grove church last Sunday. On account of the bad weather there were not very many out but what few were out enjoyed his sermon. He also preached an excellent ser mon at A. C. Eden's Sunday night and he had a large crowd and al seemed to enjoy his ser mon. We believe they did. We wish we could hear him every Sunday and twice through the week. And when he putteth forth his own sheep he goeth before them and the sheep fol low him for they know his voice. And a stranver will they not follow, but will flee from him for they know not the voice of the stranger." May the dear Lord bless his efforts.

The above is based on few examinations at each place, not over fifty at any one place this week. The work will be a great deal larger, how ever, and a more acurate per centage can be given. Every one should take ad vantage of this opportunity, es pecially if they have any of the following symptoms: Pale skin, Iry hair, lack of muscular de yelopment, retarded growth, headache, indigestion, palpita tion of the heart, heart burn, and a history of ground itch. All school children should be be examined, for it is a known fact that 50 per cent of the chi dren in the South between the ages of six and eighteen years Df age have it. 25,000 cases were treated in South Carolina in 1912. A!physician from the State Board of Health can be found in Central every Tuesday; Pick ens, in the Court House, every Wednesday; Pumpkintown, ev ery Thursday; Liberty, every Friday and in Easley, over Par rish Bro's store, for five more weeks.
