state has been placed in a very respectable con-
dition. Mr. Pace, one of the city marshals, has

zens The city council have tried to do their
duty as time and means afforded, and the liv-
ing feel grateful that the graves Of their dead
friends and relatives are properly cared for

place from desecration and keeping it free from
the accumulation of rubbish and the growth Of
bushes and noxious weeds. AS far as possible
let it be kept in its present good condition,
