We were little hasty last week in
condemning the idea of having a
fountain placed in the cemetery with
out enqniring further into the matter.

of water put in for the convenience of

plants placed on the graves of depart

sum of So a year water rent. Nothing
elaborate is required. At present peo-
pie have to go quite u distance to fetch
wafer for the purpose named, and in
nine cases out of ten it is always the
ladies who have to fetch and carry it,
