Milford in Mourning.

The sad news of President McKinley's
death came with appalling effect last
morning, after the cheering
news of two days before which claimed
his recovery as certain. In a brief time
the black emblems of mourning draped
the fronts of business places, and large
pictures of the martyred President
hung from black draped framss all over
the town. Every flag was draped to
show sorrow for the dastardly striking
down of a President and the death Of a
christian gentleman. In the churches
special services were held, and in the
Avenue M. E. Church addresses were
made by men who had once been close
ly associated with him in the Halls of
Congress. Democrats and Republi-
cans We'd with each other to show
their honor for the official and respect
for the man.
The stores closed yesterday from l t.
4 p. M, during the funeral ceremonies
at Canton, Ohio.
In the public schools the afternoon
was given over to a memorial service
A Union Memorial service was helC
in the Presbyterian Church.

in pursuance to General Orders an,
paid it's tribute to the dead Presiden

Country GraYeyards.

All over this Peninsula there are old
graveyards, in which are the remains
of those who were prominent in the
early days of the last century. Some
"a very few of these old burial places,
have been kept in fair condition; but
the great majority have grown up in
briar jungles, or been the refuge of cat
tie and swine. In a cemetery on the
farm owned by Mr.. frank Harrington,
three miles northwest of Milford, are
the tOmbs of Joseph g Oliver, one of
the first settlers of Milford, who died
about 1920; also that of Daniel Mason,
who resided where Mr.. Winter Moore
now resides, at corner of North and
Second streets; also a Miss Anthony
and others. This cemetery is enclosed
by wall aud gate, and has been ne
elected for the last half century. There
are other old cemeteries that have be-
come as memories to some of the old
est citizens, which have been permitted
to grow into wild jungles, and finally
become obliterated by the pillow. The
State provides penalty of 5000 fine
for Dissertation of graveyards, and il
should also make that penalty apply
to their neglect.
On the farm now owned by Peter l.
Lofland just opposite the home of Hon
Jonathan S. Willis, there was once al
old graveyard; but it was completely
lost sight of and finally obliterated by
the pillow about twenty-five years ago
and this is the destiny of all such. Tn,
remains should be removed to GENE
teries.

THE beautiful view of Crystal Lake
from the railroad station in Milford, has
been ruined by very ugly sign board
100 feet long and II feet high, which
has been erected there this week by
Mr.. Benjamin Collins, who has a lease
Of the ground. Mr.. Collins is iustifia-
BILE in getting return for the annual
rental he pays to Peter f. Causey for
the land, by sub-renting to parties de-
string to make use of it; but it is a
great misfortune that SO beautiful a
landscape should be marred by such an
unsightly sign-board. The borders of
this lake should be turned into a pub
lie garden, or park, and the Town of
Milford should marke arrangements to
bring this about. If Mr.. Causey's
terms are not too high, we believe the
people would be pleased to have this
done; or, if terms can not be made
amicably, then board can condemn
the land for public use and fix fair
remuneration for it-this is provided
for by the Town Charter. The borders
of Crystal Lake beautified and i'm
proved, would make a charming scene
for citizens and visitors alike, and for.
ever remove the ugly sign-b0ards that
now mar the only really pretty view
we have.
