The Elizabeth City Chamber
of Commerce has instituted a
"City Beautiful Campaign."
Such a campaign will be a great
benefit to the City if each indi
vidual will co-operate with the
Chamber of Commerce In mat
ing this campaign a success. It
will not only pay us ae a City
in dollars and cents hut it -m

in making this a clean City, and
In doing this we will bring about

also tend to stimulate interest
In those who own their homes,
and will tend to awaken a de
sire In others to own their
homes. We have a beautiful
City In many respects, but there
are some ugly places In it that
need Improvement. The Cham
ber of Commerce Is offering
those who enter this contest
some valuable prizes. The en
tries will be divided Into two
classes. Class One will be those
who do all their own work, and
Class Two will be those who
mulntain a hired man. Cash
prizes will he swarded to those
only who enter In Class One,
and honor prizes will be given
to Class Two. The first nrlie
In Class One will be Fifty Dol
