CHAPEL AT CEMETERY
THE NEW AND BEAUTIFUL CHAPEL FORM
ALLY ACCEPTED YESTERDAY.
II Cost -Four Thousand Dollars and Besides
Being Very Convenient in an Ornament
to the CITY of the Dead.

Yesterday afternoon the president OF
the Raleigh Cemetery Association, Mr..
Richard IL. Battle, with n committee
from the directory, met at the new
chapel just completed in lakewood Gene.
terry. They formally received it from the
contractors, Mcssrs. Cooper Brothers, of
this city. The president and directors
were very much pleased with the work
manship and think it reflects credit on
the contractors.
The chapel is built of rubblc stone and
is covered with slate. The wood work,
including the large rafters in the roof,
is of North Carolina pine and is but lit
tie colored varnish being used instead Of
paint, so as to show the light color of
the wood. The design of the chapel was
furnished by Mr.. II. NJ. Ashc, of this
city, who was associated with Messrs.
PEBBLES, of Norfolk, Va.
The total cost of the chapel was about
$4,000. The association wished to de-
vote all of its funds in hand and incur
red some debt for this object, which
they have long had in contemplation.
They think it is very we'll worth visit
TO the cemetery by the people of the
city, and hope it will be found very con
venient as well as place for rest and
meditation for visitors to the city of the
dead. In case of storm or other inclem-
ent weather, or for those who prefer not
to take their dead to the churches in the
city it will serve as a very convenient
place for the conducting of funeral ser
vices. We commend and thank the of
ficers of the association and others con-
cerned for their enterprise and taste in
the erection of this beautiful little
chapel.

2lst and during the remainder OF the
week ranged from twelve To fifteen de.

sudden Increase in heat, together with
very great amount of sunshine and
the ahseRce of rainfill made the week
as whole, very favorable for farm
work, the organization OF seed and for
