All Fools Day passed off with
out any serious accident to the
fools or the fooled and all seemed
to enjoy tho tricks OF the mis-
chief makers. From some hap, or
mi.hap, the small bell at the high
school became dumb and refused
to do its masters bidding. 1t
looked empty and sad. but soon
rcgaincaits fullness and now rings
as chcrrily as ever.
Our town is steadily improv-
ing. Dr.. CAN'T is having new
pockets put around his front yard;

EDIToEs GUARDIAN
This, the beautiful month OF
April, ushers in the lovely spring
costumes of both male and female;
all arc busy with brain and hands
to see who can make the best ap
pearance, not only the dress ques-
ton is being agi,sted by old and
young, but every one is intent on
bcautifylng their homes inside and
out.
Twill ask, how many give pas
sing thought to the care and
identifying tho graves OF our
dead?
1t is sad sad fact, too plain
for every eye, that our cemetery Is
wofully neglected. l am pleased
to except a lew graves, their
riicnds have cared fer. You can
hear on all occasions, "what
is the good to labor there, the COWS
and hogs have full access there
our labor is thrown away.
Why Is it; l have been told there
is money in the treasury for thu
sole purpose of repairing or en-
closing the grave yard anew.
Why cant it be done before thu
heat of Summer is upon US. Have
a day or days Of meeting ther
and PROVE our care and love 70
our dead.
Too often have / heard the re
mark, "when / die, l don't care t
he buried in Homer Cemetery
t the inference drawn was, no cal
: nor thought to beautify the col
r and gloomy homes there: This
r a sad but just reflection upon III
living.
These few thoughts were su,
gested by = recent visit to tn
grave yard. Let rs hope the pro-
: or authorities will give this impo
j. tant matter prompt attention.
