September 9, 1915.
On Thursday and Friday, September 16th, and 17th, the Civic League ask that every person in town, colored people included to make special effort to clean their places thoroughly. Extra wagons will be secured to haul off the trash on these days, so don't hesitate about putting trash out so it can be gotten easily. Everyone was urged to join in this clean up movement.
They plan to start on the first day and not be satisfied until every nook and corner has been looked into, and all weeds, trash and cans are put on the trash pile. After this is done, a white flag is to be placed on the gate, to show your neighbors and others that your place is clean.
