y
notice in st. 4lbans Messenger, of
his visit TO Barton on the Dist, at
the time of mastering the Quimby
Post, giving names of officers etc.
Mr.. Schroeder organized a Post at
West Randolph on the oath, and
will visit Barton Landing soon, to or
ganize the new Post there.
Among the things that the busy
community of this village ought to
attend to and put in better order is
the village cemetery. A few have
done much towards making it what
it should be, and would be glad to
| do more if there could be labor and
money expended sufficient to make it
worthy of the town. Cemetery COM
missioners have been appointed and
we doubt not they will soon attend
| to their duties, and that the public
may be depended upon to do gener-
ously what they should do. We learn
that a set of vandal thieves have been
in the habit of stealing flowers, plants,
vases, etc., that have been placed on
the graves, and that other things
have been done that subject the party
doing them TO fines. This business
must be stopped. If anybody has
any knowledge that will tend to con-
vict any child or other person of the
offence of stealing from the yard,
they will be suitably rewarded for
any information which shall convict
the perpetrators. Let them inform
the commissioners or the grand jurors.
We hope our people will visit the
cemetery, and that each one inter
ested will do something to make the
grounds what they might be. The
spot where lies all that is mortal of
so many of the beloved, ought to be
made as pleasant and beautiful as
possible.
