THE BEAVER HILL CEMETERY !.

Under the pressure of the need Of
q burying place to relieve the over
crowded lots already in use in Eden
ton. The "Beaver Hill Cen etery
Comp~ny'' Was formed.
1t was evident, from the express
ions of it's organizers, that public
spirited enterprise was the motive
and no purpose Of making a profit
able monied investment.
It is in this spirit that this article
is presented to the candid and public
spirited readers Of this papsr.
The wisdom of this organization
and the excellence of the location
chosen for its purpose will appear
more and more as the population Of
Edenton Increases and the vacant
spaces are built up, shutting off the
breezes from the. bay. which now are
so enjoyable to our summer resid
ents. Easy of access, yet separated
from the town by a creek, the Gene
tary is very faverably located for
engaging the attention OF. our people
and making its Improvement labor
of love.
Yet, twenty five acres is some
thing considerable for sentiment alone
to manage. The enterprise is in
danger OF becoming "land poor" un-
less our people sustain The efforts o.
those who have undertaken to give
the white people of this community
a proper burial place.
With a moderate income we'll ex-
pended, the Cemetery grounds viii
become attractive and pleasant as "a
reSortf or those who wish quiet
walk and breath Of the air of the
open country. We need not think OF
associating with it any features of a
pleasure park, yet as place of quie'
resort it will become valuable TO thu
town and that aspect of it should BE-
considered, as well as it's more i'm
mediate purpose Of hurying ground
because a senCe OF common decency
urges US to beautity the resting place
of our dead, and the more heautiful
We make the Cemetery the NOR,
attractive will it be for those who
love the trees and flowers and the
sky and the breath of Heaven, and
to see others enjoying the same witt
them. 1t requires no prophet to
foretell that something like that will
be In the future Of this Cemetery
And, we all say $50 mote 1t be-
But why should we put off, indef-
lnately, that result?
Too loug already did we delay TO
undertake this rnuch needed work
Now having well begun it, we may
but incite pity or contempt if We do
not see to it that reasonable pro
&ress is made in keeping in order the
grounds and permanently improving
SAem. This work cannot be done
