THE LEBANON EKPREss says We
have heard nothing of the graveyard
for some time. Is it possible no one
will make move in that direction?
1t Is not probable that the good people
Of Lebanon are more anxious to move
towards the graveyard before their time
comes, than other peoplc.--Junetion
City Pilot, Well, We never thought OF
that before. Probably that Is the reas-
on our old grave yard IL in such bad
condition.
