' Dc6iqna by DrGBYounq Every one who has visited Asheboro within the last ten years has noticed the remarka rr. j ble improvement in conditions at iLllOrt to ; the cemetery. For years at stat !ed periods, generally before (Easter, the ladies of the town i would visit the place armed with l brooms, rakes and shovels, and ; labor hard trying to make the place presentable. The last time such an effort was made, jtwo of the town's prominent lawyers and a few other gentle 'men kindly assisted, but the fu tility of such spasmodic efforts I was keenly felt, and it was rea lized thai some other method ' of caring for the place had to be devised. After some discussion 'of the subject, Mr. D. B. Mc Crary generously took hold of he proposition, and to him is ('.iif the entire credit of present i conditions. Ten years or so ago fj strangers remarked that Ashe , i.oro seemed a nice little town, but their cemetery was a dis- OUR COUNTY HOME part of the gift by its appropria-, tion Dy otners.

But on account of rain and other things interfering, the work was at, first very much hindered, and we would again like to call atttn-j tion to the fact that the town needs a more effectual cleaning-' up. Visitors in town have bee,i j heard to remark that Asheboro j particularly Main Street, never' has lookeif so dirty. We would therefore invite the cordial co operation of every individual to , immediate and continued effort. I Clean-up campaigns, as Clar ence Poe says, add not only in j pride and respect, but in improv-1 ed health conditions, and in the attractiveness of such a town to ' visitors. All towns and cities are awakening to the need. New York is making an effort to have the greatest clean-up campaign in her history, and distributing 4,000,000 clean-up circulars in three languages. Asheooro has no such sLupen . dous task,, but ws can all clean up in one language. The Civic' Department has been assured of the willing co operation of the colored people in a clean up campaign, and it is with pleasure that we call atten tion to the neat and tidy appear ance of their school house and grounds, and the clean, attrac tive appearance of many of their homes. Prof. McRae has done some ef fective work along this line, and feel sure with the help of all the ministers, and with the cheer ful assistance of the women they inspire the people with renewed energy in this good cause.
