SHOWS SIGNS Of NEGLECT.
UNSlGHTLY CONDITION OF THE
WILLIAMSBURG CEMETERY.

A Practical Suggestion Looking to the
Permanent improvement of our
"City of the Dead.
Editor County ReSord:-
wish to call attention Through
the columns OF your paper to the
present condition OF the cemetery,
located Just outside Of the town Of
kieSStree. 1t is ali SrGwn up in
weeds, grass and bushes, and Of
course shows signs Of great neglect.
THIS condition might be altered for
the time being by calling on the
people in the community to turn
out and clean off the grounds, but
such cleaning would only prove
momentarv in effect, and in a
short while, things would be in as
bad order as before.
You can never keep a burial
ground in proper order by such a
system. This grave yard Is used
by the general public; (alLhonsh
it is known as The Old Presby-
lerian Cemetery,') but since the
church has been moved 10 town,
and the cemetery itself enlarged
and inciosed, We have no doubt
that the Presbyterian church
wonl1 like TO see it properly kept
and would be glad 10 have some
plan adopted which would secure
this end, not for few weeks, but
fer The entire year.
The manner in which we keep
the spot where sleep our dead, is
COOL evidence of our type OF
civilization, if not of our piety. 1t
is true, it is only based on senti-
ment, but if a sentiment elevates
peo pie, then it should be not
only entert aimed but held sacred,
We would like to see some step
taken and some plan adopted
which would result in the keep
inS of the euIire cemetery in pro
per order every day in the year,
Why moi call The people TO-
gether, AMI with the consent OF
the proper authorities form an
association, and let every one who
Mries here join SAID ass ssociatiou:
Let the association adopt suit

Of the world are many and have

The United Colonies, struggling

of blue, the semblance OF the

stars of hope.

and symbols of the circumstances
which gave the American flag it's
