 create a permanent fund large enougl I that the income from the same shall b sufficient to guarantee their cemetery al n the Street from ever falling into decay ol neglect. as has been the case with some a of Stafford's other cemeteries. It ha | seemed more important this year thar |, ever that such fund should be created : as aside from the care given private lots
 very little has been done to the yard il
 general. What has been done is the worl > of volunteers, who, during the season o have kept the grass and brush move :. and the yard in an otherwise presentabl O condition. There was meeting held a the cemetery Saturday afternoon by thos interested, and after giving the grounds Il good inspection nearly enough money wa ,- pledged to care for the yard this year - But what is most earnestly desired Is tha
 the fund may be so far completed that d may be invested by July 1st, so that whe l. another year shall roll around there vii 70 be an income from it to work with. Vii
