Complaint is made of vexatious depre-
dations at the cemetery by thoughtIsss
vandals, who destroy flowers, plants and
shrubs and curry away utensils used in
manipulating the soil. Dogs also make
nuisances of themselves by digging in
the freshly turned earth. These little
annoyancss might BIZ obviated by care
on the part of persons visiting the
cemetery.
The funeral services of Miss Lucy

attended by a large number of Yankton
people, and they all testify to the fact
that the vehicles bearing the many
friends who attended the remains to the
cemetery formed one of the longest pro-
%cession ever seen in this part of the
country. Rev. q. f. Clapp, of Yankton,
conducted the services.

Burleigh and a most pleasant meeting
it was. After the brief dramatic indul.
gence or the programme a couple OF
hours were passed pleasantly in con.
versation and dancing. The young
ladies who assisted in the "Madnap'
deserve special mention for the manner
in which they executed their parts. The
first meeting of the Y. F.. d. S. was
voted a success in every particular.
