BURIAL OF PAUPERS.
Who Attends to This Duty and How
Collins are Furnished.

The demand tor paupcr collins is
constantly increasing and appIica-
lions come almost entirely from the
colored population. The county far
nishes collins under certain reguia-
tons, that is a plain, stainedsboX cof
fin, which costs IS for grown people
and g SO for children. But after the
coffin is furnished ii is difficult to get
any one to dig the grave and assist
in the burial. The fact hss come out
that one man here buries fully half
of the paupers who die about the
city. His name is George Vance.
Ge0rgesfor some time was sexton for
the colored cemetery and became
known in that capacity. But find
ing that he could not make a support
in that way and nearly all Of his
time was taken up, he gave up the
place. Still when a pauper is TO he
buried and nobody can be found to
do it, they naturally call on Vance,
who is good man at heart and
don't know how to refuse such an
application, consequently nearly half
of his time is taken up in this way.
IT appears too, that the county is
called upon in nearly all cases to
furnish "a coffin, and the friend, Of
the deceased, disiiking TO see their
loved ones laid away in pauper cot
fins, turn OUT with subscription pa
pers to raise additional money to add
to the 70 appropriation, and buy the
best coffin they can get for the
money, and then there is nothing
left to pay the grave digger, and it
is seldom that any one will
volunteer to do the work ora
tuitously. Then there is sharp
competition between one or two
undertaker5 who have set up for thjS
business of furnishing such collins.
The county makes no appropriations
for burial expenses; simply furnish
es the collins Judge Tyler has de-
termined hereafter TO put an end to
these troubles by giving one house
who will take it the contract for all
paupar collins, requiring the under
taker to see that all paupers ere
buried for the price allowed by the
county for the coffin. Ii friends will
not have the grave opened and
burial attended to, then he must do
it Mt his Own expense.
