JOHNSONVILLE'S CIVIC LEAGUE.
Enthusiastic Meeting Friday Evening
Arouses Interest.
Johnsonville, March 1:?The ladies
of the Civic league held a public
meeting Friday evening for the purpose
of arousing interest and enlisting
the co-operation of every one in
their effort to improve and (jeautify
the itown. The large attendance
and the enthusiasm manifested by
the men were especially gratifying.
The audience was entertained with
an attractive programme beginning
with the following: Civic League
Booster Song, composed by Mrs C J
Rollins and sung to the tune of
"Maryland" by the school children:
"The Civic league has come to stay
In Johnsonville, fair Johnsonville,
In spite of what the skeptics say,
We'll beautify thee, Johnsonville.
We long to see thee pure and clean.
We long to banish all things mean
And make thee fairest ever seen,
Johnsonville, oh, Johnsonville.
We'll put out trees along thy street,
Johnsonville, oh Johnsonville; /
Thy park shall bloom with blossoms
sweet,
Johnsonville, oh Johnsonville,
Tby streets shall be improved no more,
All unclean things will have to go;
No littered streets as was before
In Johnsonville, our Johnsonville.
We'll move the rubbish from eacb
store,
Johnsonville, oh Johnsonville,
An unkept town, you'll see no more,
When you behold Old Johnsonville.
We'll have thee pleasing to the eye;
The comment of the passers by;
The envy of towns nearby,
Johnsonville, clean Johnsonville."
This was followed by an address
of welcome by the president, Mrs S
B Poston. Mrs A G Eaddy then
explained the purpose of the Civic
league.
Short addresses were then made
by Mayor S B Poston, N N Newell,
Esq, and Dr Cockfield. These
were followed with five minute talks
by several prominent business men
on improvement of our town.
The programme was interspersed
with charming duets and quartettes
by pupils of the high school with
Miss Louise Hicklin at the piano.
The ladies served sandwiches and
coffee. Very appropriate and entertaining
toasts were made to the
m i win n_ j j
ladies or tne town Dy ur a <j j&aaay
and C J Barron. A very pleasant
social hour was then spent discussing
plans and means for improvement,
at the close of which the
league members were presented by
the men with a purse containing $100
for carrying on the work.
