The work recently done in the cemetery
will be especially gratifying, not only
to the townspeopIe, but to all no have
friends buried there. Every stone has
been righted, trees trimmed, worthless
shrubbery cut out and many other i'm
provements made. The hearse house has
also received some necessary repairs.
Thanks are due Mr.. David France, who as
sexton had charge of the work, and for the
thorough manner in which it has been
done. The Irasburg cemetery is one of the
finest in the county and beautifully To-
Gated. A well kept cemetery is an honor
to any town, and it is also duty which
should not be neglected.
While Mrs. Fessenden who has been
laboring for the cause of Woman's Suffrage
the past few weeks in the state of Vermont
is very good speaker, and presents many
good thoughts, it is barely probable that
the cause will be promoted under her lead
ture and educated thought it is to say the
least exceedingly poor taste for speaker
to inform an audience from the platform
that if you don't think as L do about this
matter cit is on account of your ignorance"
and simply because ''you don't know any
thing.' Such were some of the arguments
presented by Mrs. Fessenden and while
that may be good logic from her stand
point, to a fairly well enlightened New
England audience it is not convincing.
