the glad tidings OF oncoming spring to
the dwellers In the North.

The Pascagoula Catholic cemetery,
where lie so many of our beloved dead is
in bad condition on account of the
want of drainage. bitches should be
dug Oh each side of the grounds, to
run the water into the ravine, and drain
of the entire cemetery. This Is an ur-
gent necessity, and should command i'm
mediate attention from all who own
lots or have friends lying there. Walks
also should be laid, and new suhstan.

excuse now doing duty as one. Let us
never forget our dead, nor allow the bust

in our duty to their last resting place.
