that the sum of $500 be set aside and
deposited in some staple bank of Sa-

used for cleaning his tombstone and
keeping his lot in repair. The money
is to be at the disposal of the pastor
of the Cathedral of st. John the Bap..
fist. Any money that is remaining
after the lot has been regularly at
tended to is to go for the purpose of
paying for masses for the repose of
the soul of the deceased.
Explicit instructions are given that
the original sum thus set aside shall
not be encroached upon for any rea-
son, save that it should be necessary
to repair any Substantial injury
which may result to the lot or tomb

vandalism" 1t is required that this
first provision of the will shall be car
ried out in preference to all others.
The sum of $500 is set aside to meet
the funeral expenses of the deceased,
and to provide for the saying of re-
QUEEN mass. If any of this sum is

sum set aside in the first item of the
Will, as a part of the original sum.

built on the grounds. Provision is

ready to receive the altar at the time
of the testator's death that the money
be placed in a Savannah bank, and
held until such time.
The interest from the money is to
be drawn by Sister Mary, formerly
Miss Georgia Burch, until such time
as the chapel shall be ready to re-
ceiVe the altar. In case the chapel
is never built, Sister Mary is to draw
the interest from the money during her
life. At her death the original sum is
to be given to any charitable purpose
