of summer boarders. Few places in this or

people, landlords, tradesmen, professional
men, farmers and all should unite in their
efforts to make the most of these natural
advantages, doing what man can do to
make village that will annually attract an
increasing company of summer visitors.

THERE is considerable interest in the vii
lage in regard to the erection of a slaughter
house on the land adjoining the cemetery
and not far remote from its limits. A part
of the community is stoutly opposed to the
erection and intimates its intention to en-
means; another part has no objection, and a
third is Indifferent. The indifference and
the willingness arise, in a large measure,
from feeling of good will to the person
who proposes to build the slaughter-house
He is a worthy and enterprising citizen and
no one would willingly or wilfully embar
rass his business operations. 1t is objected
that permission to build, granted in consid
Grafton of the applicants good qualities, may
be a dangerous precedent and lead to un

the cemetery be sacredly guarded from en-
