A Town without a Graveyard.

According to the Oklahoman, Asher
Is probably the only town in the Terri
tory Of its size and age that has no
graveyard. Asher is a year old and has
a population of over 1000 people, and
the place is built up with substantial
business blocks and modern residences,
but has no burial place. The few peo.
pie that have died in the section have
been buried at other points. Owing to
Its high location, fine drainage and
abundance of artesian water, Asher Is
locations in the Territories. A local
doctor recently made the remark that
IL 1t had not been the obstetrical cases
at this point, Asher, he would have
starved to death.
