Let Us call the attention of our citi-
Zens once more to the condition ofour
grave yard we think it would be a
good idea If those having friends and
relatives buried there to cali a meet
ing and make an effort to bay the land
adjoining it, and enlarge it; the yard
being small and in use for many years
is nearly filed up. We are under the
impression that Mr.. Lamon will sell
the land at a reasonable figure.
Therefore. friends, let us urge the
necessity of acting at once ; it will be
an easy matter to raise the amount,
not only for this but sufficient to tear
down the old fence and enclose it with
neat and substantial one. Every
one will apprepreciate this and con-
tribute something towards it after
this is done then employ man to st
tend to it and keep it free from weeds,
&c. This is worth an effort; who
will make the start, for clean, we'll
kept yard is a credit to any
village. Then stranger entering
our village and looking at the present
yard may think we are careless and
indolent set of people then let US to
work and make it a sight which none
may be ashamed to look at.
Your correspondent is favored with
some fine compliments, such as long
ears, sharp nose, and shoots off at the
mouth too much. Thanks, dear
friends, we did not intend to caves
drop but correspondent to learn the
news must have his ears long to hear
the news, his nose sharp to be out of
the way of his eyes, so he can see, and
uses his pen instead of his mouth.
