Evidences of ]. E. Bells
Marble Works.

A DAILY LEADER reporter had &C.
casion to visit our cemeteries in the past
few days and was especially pleased to
note the improved appearance of the
Madison cemetery east of town. Gates
and fence are in much better repair,
headstones and monuments have been
Strengthened up. many new one erected,
grass and rubbish cleared out, graves
and lots graded up or otherwise improved
in appearance, and the whole yard hav-
ing an air Of neatness and attractiveness
ltIhas not formerly had. A convenient

the grounds. What has contributed
most, however, to our notion, to this inn
proved appearance is the Strengthening
up Of old tombstones and the placing Of
new ones. Much of this is the result of
the efforts of j. E. Bell, our marble.
dealer who has done 30 much to bring
about this increased interest in the CO NJ
etery and has done much of the work Of
strengthening up the headstones and rs-
clining monuments. He has also set I'D
many Of the new monuments in the
cemetery which can be readily dis.
tinguished from all others by their SUI
perior finish and workmanship in cutting
and placing. OF the most expensive and
substantial monuments that arehis handi-
work We would instance the Ayers and
Lewis shafts of st. Cloud gracite. the
Downs, Woltha's and Pulford's Of Yer
mont marble, and the j. L. Jones' and
Gould's tombstones Of Italian marble.
The setting and finish OF all these show
the superior workmanship and quality Of
them. In another line also he is doing
an exceedingly tine job of w~ork-coping.
Much of the common cement copings
breaks down in a few years and leaves an
unsightly mass around the lot. But
Mr.. Bell is now putting down a substan-
tial coping Of dressed limestone slabs
bolted together with iron aud cement

Notice to the Public.

The health officer OF the city Of Mad
lson has been instructed by the city coun-
Gil to enforce all ordinances relating to
the cleanliness Of the city. Our observ-
ing ancestors formulated the following
truism: "Cleanliness Is next to godll-
ness; but the modern philosopher with
his greater knowledge of the laws
Of hygien would 30 far deity
cleanliness as to paraphrase the above
quotation to read: Cleanliness is god
llness"; therefore I call the attention of
each householder and each individual to
make a special effort to clean their
premises.
Observe: All manure piles, garbage
heaps, vaults and cess-pools must be
cleaned. An inspector will visit every
part of the city and report all ~delinquen-
cies in this matter. Notice will be
served on all property owners giving q
reasonable time to comply with the law
after which the inspector will again 60
over the city and report to the city mar
shall any failure to comply with above
notice. The city will then assume
charge and all expense will be assessed
to the property.

The Bloomfield Tinlicator refers
with satisfaction to the fact that
the country press has asserted its in
dependence of the metropolitan press
and that "there are only two or
three Democratic papers in the
thirty counties of Southeast Missouri
that are not outspoken advocates of
the coinage of gold and silver at the
old time ratio of 16 to l." Evidently
the Vindicator refers to the two
ring organs of this county. These
sheets are whatever their masters
tell them to be and their bread and
butter depends upon their doing as
they are told to do. The moment
they refused to obey orders they
would find themselves out of q job.
Such publications are dangerous to
any community. Their only mission
is to mislead and deceive the public
in the interest of local spoilsmen.
