F2ATG&lNAL CEMETERY
Bountitutly Saoplic /! With Water
Trees, Schrabs anI Grass
VIII Flourish.

During the week the water pipes
which supplied Fraternal Cemetery in
the past were taken up and laid again
from, the Cemetery to the corner at
]. S. Raitt's residence where they
will connect with main laid by the
water company. TIE work was done
under the supervision of Constable
Golding by force of laborers, without
drawing on the funds of Fraternal
Cemetery Association on account of
lack Of money and so much use for the
little money there is in the treasury.
The people who contributed will be
given credit in due time through the
columns of the DISPATCH. In the past
it was extremely difficult to get water
enough to keep the trees alive and the
shrubbery and grass suffered Under
the new condition of affairs there will
be ample supply OF water for all pur-
poses and those who have desired to
improve their plots by planting grass
and flowers can begin to do so at once.
Situated as it is the cemetery sur
rourdings are rich in beautiful scenery
and when the grounds are further i'm
proved it will be an ideal spot. Until
the water company lays the main Mr..
Golding has very kindly volunteered 10
connect the new pipe by short hose
TO the fire hydrant at the corner and
supply all the water needed as long as
required, several times a week.
