as It Is when looked at from tbe polut
of view of tbe average visitor, used to
have many unswept and untidy cor-

and vacant lots were like tbe “junk

all sorts of unsightly trifles were al
lowed to accumulate. These municipal
housekeepers, after looking over their
common habitation, began a vigorous
campaign to get people interested In
sprucing up—to arouse civic pride. In

of the town—the school children—were

It was not long before tbe agitation
produced results. The streets and va-
cant lots were cleared of papers and
all aorta of dehrts. A passion for
cleanliness seemed to sweep over New
Rochelle. Photographs were taken be
fore the work began and after It was
completed. The contrasting pictures
aroused still greater enthusiasm. Sin

Joe Young Dead.
Joe Young, who was so badly
cut in an altercation which oc-
curred last Monday, April 28th,
as told of in these columns last
week, died at his home on Col-
lege Hill at about 4:00 o’cldfek
Tuesday afternoon of this week
after suffering intensely. Phy-
sicians and nurses, relatives and
friends, did all that was possible
to relieve his pain and save his
life, but the efforts were all in
vain.
The funeral occurred yester-
day morning, the interment be-
ing at the Milano cemetery.
The Woodmen of the World'took
charge of the remains at the
residence, and nearly one hun-
dred strong conducted them to
Milano by train, where the
Milano lodge joined in conduct-
ing the burial according to the
rites of the order. Religious
services were conducted by Rev.
B. B. Blaylock, pastor of the
Baptist church, of which church
deceased had. long been a mem-
ber.
Mr. Young was thirty-three
years of age, and had lived in
and about Rockdale for the
greater part of his life, and had
acquired a host of friends who
will join The Reporter in extend-
ing to the bereaved wife and two
children a sincere expression of
sympathy.
