Decoration days ceremonies drew hundreds of people to the cemetery, some of whom are not frequent visitors, though it is getting to be place of considerable resort, especially on Sundays, for which it's growing beauty is good reason. While yet in a crude condition, the de signs for its full improvement are appar ent and pleasing to the eye. The little lake already fills its place in the landscape, the drives circle around the most roman tic and fitting sites for burial plots. Fenc ing, the building of a tomb, and forward ing the turing of the grounds, will be the main work of this season. Lots are sell ing readily, and parties from other towns are among the buyers. The prices are low when it is considered that buyers have no future expense for the care of lots, { fund being created to forever keep the en tire grounds in condition. The value oi this consideration is not appreciated as il should be- People will be wise to make selections now, while there are so many localities to choose from, and not leave Ii to the hurry of an emergency, when grle1 may unfit the mlnd for calm choice. The managers would like to increase the mum Der of peersons interested in the cemetery that they may the better get at the de sires of those who are to use the cemetery A meeting of ladies was held at the Congregational church yesterday to orga nize a Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
