Our band has been SerenadinE sew
eral Of the fitting parties in Millheim
in the last couple OF evenings.
March took it's leave with beauti-
full weather. The town and its people
are beginning to get liYelier and the
sport seekers are getting out their We
locipedes, quOits, Sc, sc.
-Rey. J. Benson Akers, the new
Methodist minister, preached his first
sermon here on Sunday evening, and it
is well spoken Of.
To-day many people will be engaE-
ed In receiving and paying out money.
Hope many of them will lay q dollar a
aide to pay the printer, when they come
to town again.
-Gephart & Musser, our enterpriSing
-four merchants and dealers in grain,
coal, plaster and salt, are branching
out. The other day they bought Smith
& Co.'S large and convenient grain ele-
vator, at Coburn Station, including
rail road siding and other convenien-
ces. This gives them new and increas.
cd facilities for their large and growing
business.
Every citizen OF this community
should feel All int crest 10 the condition
of our Gene terry. 1t win be the final
resting-place for many of us-it is
where many of our loved ones are now
sleeping their last sleep. Why then do
we suffer our " city of the dead" to fall
into such general dilspidation aid de-
cay ? Who can give satisfactory an
swer? WeconfeSs that we are unable to
do so. Let US arouse, unite, and put
our graveyard into a condition that
will reflect some credit on us as COM
munity. Come, friends, we have neg
lected this matter year after year, let
us now redeem ourselves and do justice
to our better natures in this matter.
It is now about the time Of the regu-
lar annual meeting and election, and is
therefore fit season to agitate this
matter. Let thoSa who wero the last
trnstees--for the cemetery has hardly a
single officer now-consult together,
call meeting, and use their personal
efforts 10 iIishre d good turnout. Let
a general interest be awakened before
the meeting, and then there will be a
prospect that something practical,
something substantial will be done.
