Want 10 be Buried.

IL is claimed that the negroes who are
burying their dead at Jones' graveyard.
have no right 20 do so. except under the
supervision of 1.-The Board Of Health OF
Barton Heights; as this cemetery is within
one mile Of the corporation line and the
board has Jurisdiction Tor that distance
from the town limits.
The original section owners, however.
can continue the use OF their sections un-
der the direction OF the board.
II Is alleged that all the negro cooks are
leaving the Heights. and that domestic
labor IS very scarce. The cause OF this is
thought 10 be. that since the colored peo-
pie can no longer be buried In this town
they will no longer live in 1t.
