And now we might como back from
what the sportsman calls ''the turf aud
speak of that hal.owed turf which the
Germans .reyerently call Goods acre. A
word about our Cemetery.
Nearly two years ago plat of ground
was purchased for Cemetery for which
we believe $500 was to be paid, one half
in June of last year, and the remainder
last June. A good many persons have
purchased and received deeds Of lots in
the Cemetery. Now the proprietor in
forms lis that he has received no pay
whatever, that there is no written contract
showing that the ground has ever been
sold. He very justly thinks the matter
should not be left in this shape and told
us that he thought Of giving the holders
notice to quit.
Ii may have been irreyerent but we
could not suppress smile, as we thought
what heed the quiet sieepers there would
give to sIch a summons. For the honor
of the place we trust that this matter may
be early and sat STA ;torily arranged.
There are several other things of which
we might write, if obliged to, but the
weather is exceedingly warm and we re-
frain.

One would think that the Mexicans would
find enough TO do at home without making
raids upon their ntIghbors. But the news from
Texas is that gnerIlas tr.m across the bOrder
have taken Brownsville, which is built upon
the old site of Fort Brown, opposite Me amo-
rOs, on the RIO Grande, committed eXcesses
and driven the inhabitants from the place. No
doubt the report is much exaggerated for the
recOilectlons OF 1916 are fresh on the banks Of
that river; aud UagueroS, or cowboys, III those
parts from whom the " Llberatlng Armies and
Delivering Divisions" are recruited, have
not yet forgotten Rrsaca, and Paio Alto, and
the b0mha rdnpnt from Fort Brown. No doubt
too, from the American side, has proceeded

hlnhustrrs. who hang on the frontier, awaiting
the moment of the dissolution of the Mexican
Republic, have become impatient for the prey,
and have attacked the carcass while there was
