The adjourned annual meeting Of the
Cemetery association took place in the
city hall last evening about fifteen
lot-holders being present. The short
age in funds precluded any elaborate
plans for improvement in the grounds
which staEd sadly in need of it,; but Fri
day Of next week was set as a day on
which everyone interested in the proper
care OF the grounds and the graves
were invited and are urged to be present
to do whPt they a to put them in shape.
BY resolution the third Friday in May
hereafter is set apart each year as
Cemetery Day for this same kind OF i'm
provement work. The officers reports
skwed that about s75 had been collected
during the past year and with the bal
ance on hand at the beginning of the
year had all been expended except about
% now in the treasury. Sexton Casey's
report showed that 20 interments had
taken place during the year, some of
which had been done by forcible entry
the breaking Of the gates from the
the hinges-of which he had no account.
1t is the intention Of the association to
keep the gates locked to prevent depre-
dations in the yard by driving over
graves, stakes, ETC., by careless parties.
Anyone wishing to drive into the cem-
etery can obtain a key to the cemetery
at Frank Smiths drug store. 1t is not
necessary for parties to employ the sex
ton to dig graves for their dead but it is
absolutely required that all parties re-
port burials to the sexton or the score
tary Mr.. Smith. The officers for the en-
suing year are w. 81. Dempster, presi.
dent; Mrs. d. McKinnon, vice president;
