DENIAL, near the Court house is for
sale, and will go at reasonable
price. Apply to Cab. Gardemal
for particulars.
We are please to state that Fs-
Their Thebault has announced last
Sunday that all the abandoned
tombs, which are ruins of long.
standing, which will be unclaimed
from now to the month of March
next, will be levelled with the
ground and the mass of brick
bats will be used to repair the al
lleys of the cemetery. Those who
have tombs and lots they desire to-
tclaim should do that before the
month of March in order to faci-
litate the work of Father The
bault. We believe when the ruins
are removed it would be possible
to establish little more system
and order in the cemetery, and
every facility should be given to
the Rev. Father, who. we believe,
means well, and he should be as
sisted by our people.
