The Board of Directors of this Cemetery
desire to call the attention of the public to
control, 1t was greatly embarrassed by debt
and its affairs in much confusion, cOnSe-
quent upon the war. By settlements and
compromises, its old Indebtedness has been
paid off; and by the indefatigable energy of
the Secretary, j. 7. L. Cochran, ESQ, its
books are once more in order, and any one
so inclined can inspect them at any time at
his office. In order to complete the land
room for other generations, they have pur-
chased stcteeH acres of ground, lying north
and west of the Cemetery, to be paid for in
five annual payments, at six per cent per
annum. In order to meet this Ind btedneSs
and inclOSe and improve the premises, the
Board propose to sell lots in the new pur-
chase and they are by far the most desira-
bic in the Cemetery upon the following lib
mainder in one, two and three years, with
interest at six per cent per annum. The
public will bear in mind that there are no
sdtdried officers connected with the Cemetery;
not dollar of the money paid foe lots is "a.
pended Otherwise than in paying for and
Improving and Identifying the grounds.
Even the sexton has no salary, but is de-
pendent upon his fees for digging and filling
graves. The Board also express a hope that
the people of the county will see the mani
fest failure of private family and neigh bOr-
purchase lots in Rose Hill Cemetery, which
is a chcrtered organization, and will be kept
up from generation to generation as q sei
cure ana hea urifulIy elnbel l4shed Home for
the Dead.
At the last meeting OF the Board, a resoIu-
ton was passed unanimously abolishing the
custom of having the friends fill the grave,
requiring the Sexton and his assistants to
do the FILLING as vel as the digging.

As we have been passed unnoticed fol
some length of time, we now propose
to give you a few brief sketches of the
progress of this portion of Maury coun-
ty. Everything is quiet up here, in
deed, we have neighborhood of quiet
ness and sociability. Some of our hon
est old farmers haye begun to prep are
the sod for King Cotton, again. Our
advice to them is, more wheat and corn
and less cotton. Ifthey would heed this
advice we think they would certainly
profit by it, for they are undoubtedly
running their excellent farms by contin~
ually planting cotton, and as a general
thing they have to buy corn in the
spring. We honestly ask them, Is this
profitable? We have located in our
midst two saw~mills in a stones throw
of each other; one is owned by our col>
lectiDg officer of this part of Old Maury
p. M. Holcomb, e. M. c., the other by
Mr.. Valentine. They anticipate doing
a good business as soon as the weather
opens. The Masonic Hall oyer the NJ. E.
Church (Blanton Chapel is fast APP
preaching completion, under the super
vision of Mr.. James Derry berry, who is
ably assisted by our excellent young
friend, Mr.. j. T. Allen. We learn that
the GranRers and Good Templars will
hold their meetings in the Hall when it
is completed. These are both good in
situations, and we wish they may live
long and prosper.
One of our old associates who emigrae
ted to West Tennessee about year ago,
we learn, has taken himself rio at last,
one of ObiOn's prettiest maids, Miss
j Jackson, 1 believe. We congratulate
our friend, S. f. Howard, on his good
fortune, and wish him a long life and
much joy. We think there are a few
more young gents up hero who might as
well emigrate, for it looks as if their
prospects were getting pretty slim.
