The Old Grave Yard.

| The Old Grave Yard.
| We wish to call the attention OF
all who have friends buried in the
old cemetery. to the fact, that the
fencing around said place is partly
destroyed and what is worse the
very enclosures Of tke graves are
being removed-we suppose to sup
ply fuel to those families living ad.
jacent who choose to depredate
upon what ever they find conven-
lent. We ask it as a favor that The
City authorities will. pass an ordin-
ance to protect the fencing and en-
closures in future. All who are in
terested in this matter might to-
gether furnish funds to restore the
fence, thereby lessening the ex>
penses individually. We hope that
this suggestion may be acted upon
without delay as it is reflection
upon any community to neglect the
graves of their dead.

PERSONAL.
On Tuesday last we had the pleas
ure of meeting our young friend Mr..
Augustus Craft, well known to
many Of our citizens as an energetic
business man in the late firm of
Wang & Cottam Wholesale grocers
and commission merchants at 80
and "a Poydras street, New Orleans.
Since the demise of M. Wang, we
learn there will be change in the
name of the firm of which we will
advise our readers. Mr.. Craft is an
accomplished, well bred gentleman
and deserves the highest pr ,ise for
his enterprise in the management
Of his Agency. We know whereof
we speak and we take pleasure in
recommending him to our merch-
ants who may need anything in his
line. His stay in our city will be
short, but as he makes frequent
visits to this place we speak of him
publicly to give our friends an OPP
portunity to deal with him. A word
to the wise is always sufficient.
Success to him.
