Neglected Cemetery.

The new cemetery is in a ragged
and neglected condition. Heretofore
the cemetery has been moved every
season, but this year no one was will
ing to pay the price-$1 asked by
the authorities for the privilege, and
so it stands, over-grOwn in tall grass
and weeds. The people who have
loved ones sleeping there seems to have
forgotten them, and in many instances
it Is necessary TO tramp down the
weeds and grass before the inscriptions
on the tombstone can be read.
This shameful neglect should be
looked after by some body.
