EeSs- We have heard that steps are about to be
taken to purchase, and lay off, new burying-sround
or cemetery, near the Charlotte road, about two
miles from the square Such II movement could
not but bc gratifying to every citizen. Neither OF
the grayc-ylstds, now in use, are extensive enough,
and they are, both too to the strife and tur-
moil of business. Let us have an extensive new
one, laid off in some quiet retired locality, where
the last resting places OF the dead will never be en-
croachod upon by the living, The place we have
heard suggested, for the new cemetery, isto the
right of the Charlotte road (going OUT just beyond
the deep hollow. We do not know how il will suit
for the purpose, never having examined the site
We have often thought that the place back of the
bluffs, overlooking the "mouth of West fork be-
tween Maj, Ilonuum's and the river would make {
beautiful cemetery,
1t is an elevated site, far enough out and ye
easily accessible from town, overlooking Red river
and Astounding with forest trees. The spot nigh
be made lovely and most inviting one, bya com
paratively small outlay.
