People who visited the cemetery on
Memorial Day were grieved to ncte
the manner in which the smelter smoke
is slowly but surely killing the vege.
tation. The smoke only blows across
the cemetery at times but it happens to
take that detection often enough to
poison the leaves and good many
trees have already died. One OF the
advantages OF having the sulphuriC
: acid works located here would be
that it would probably consume a
good portion OF the sulphur fumes
, from the two works in the north west
, part of town, thus stopping the dam

Mrs. Jane Simpson has donated al
, interesting relic in the shape of an old
, newspaper to besold and the proceeds
to go to the Episcopal church. It is {
copy of the Ulster County Gazette o
, 1900 and the chief item of interest is al
account Of the funeral OF Georg,
Washington. European news o DIS q
, prominent place but instead OF the
mo lern small line at the top stating
that it is by cablegram to the paper 4
line states that the news comes by the
latest packet from London. Much OF
the news is familiar to readers of his
tory and the whole paper is extremely
interesting. 1t was the property o.
the husband of Mrs. Simpson and as
she has no further use for il and
knows it is valuable she will permit
| its sale.
