yard is all grown up in brush and
weeds, and is unfenced. Bring tools
to work with, and we can bring our
dinners, too; and after the sermon at
IL o'clock, we can have dinner at a
spring near the ground. My friends,
this is our duty, that we should keep
the graves of our friends and relatives
that God has called home, free from
brush and weeds. May we as living
mortals do our duty to the City of the
dead. Respectfully,
Sabula, Mo. GEO. LEWIS.
