for remembering the names and au-
tnors of the books she reads. She
has a blank book and in It she enters
the names, authors and principal
characters oil every book she reads
and this record is always ready for
reference and also helps to impress
them upon her. memory. This is a
good idea and might be adopted by

The condition of Palmetto cemetery
is indeed a reflection upon the city of
Brunswick and some of those who own
lots and nave dead buried there. This
place is now a wilderness of weeds
| and grass, and piles OF trash are as
numerous as the graves.
The contrast between this naturally
lpretty but wretchedly neglected spot
and the present appearance of Oak
Grove cemetery is very marked. The
great improvement apparent in the
latter, due to the persistent, united
efforts Of the ladies who Interested
themselves in retaining 1t from a
like condition, suggests the organza-
ton OF similar society to work this
sadly needed miracle in Palmetto Gem
letery. The cooperation of city author
tiles should be obtained and a band
OF our energetic and public spirited
men and women should organize for
this purpose.
Except m few individual cases, the
graves there are sadly neglected,
Those few who tend with loving care
the resting place of their loved ones
are hampered by the neglect of Others
and by the need Of regularly em-
| ployed man to clean ana care for tne
cemetery and to guard the graves from
| the vandal hands that desecrate the
graves and steal vases and flowers
from them.
| The visitor to Oak Grove. or any one
who has seen the beautiful well-Iept
cemeteries In other towns is shocked
when he views the abject appearance
OF tne otner place. Its qualid ,un-
attractive neglectedness is a disgrace
to the city and calls loudly for atten-
/ ton
