It is a respect due the departed, and should not longer be neglected. Go through it, counting the mounds, and you will find more bodies lying there than there are citizens of Columbia. The little infant, who never lived to lisp its mothers name, the loving mother and the indulgent father, affectionate brothers and sisters, those who gained valor upon the battle fields and whose voices have been heard in the halls of Congress, are all there awaiting the resurrection morn. Nearly every town in Kentucky has set apart one day in each year for memorial services, and we suggest that Columbia follow the example. Some time in the month of May or June, when flowers are plentiful, would be suitable, and as work is superintended by ladies, we hope that will take the matter in charge and fix a day in the spring or summer for the services.
