Just as We are about to go to
press We learn with the deepest
OF regret that Mr. Murphy Foster
lime died last night at 1916
o'clock, at the age Of 2S years. A
most Of friends and relatives IN St.
Mary viii deeply ,ympathize
with Mrs. K. f. Hine ia the loss OF
her son, whose life was perfect
realization Of her loving hopes
aud ambitions, thus the awful an
blow comes with such
crushing force that comfort is
pushed aside As futile and ILL
timed, the only office left to friend
ship and love being to mingle
tears with the bereaved ones and
leave them to the unfailing care
81 God's'gentlest angel, Time.

showing that the total collections

S390.90; the expenditures were

gnther with the shortage of the

This being the meeting for the
election Of officers, to serve for the

Subscribe to the Cemetery Associa-
ton.

AT the annual meeting of the
Cemetery Association held on
| Monday last, the secretary. Mr..
| l.. &. Tarlton, gave a statement
showing the financial condition
q the association. There are at
present seventy memb ers in good
sanding, and a shortage ofSi31.35.
there are many persons who have
lots In the cemetery but do not
belong to the Association or con-
tribute one cent. We think it is
nothing but just and proper that
they should contribute their share
toward maintaining the cemetery,
a. i Is sacred duty they owe 70 the
departed ones. The cemetery at
one time was disgrace 10 the
town; tull OF weeds and bushes,
with no drainage at all. To-day,
under the care of the Cemetery
Association. it is one Of the finest
cemeteries in this section Of the
State, which speaks well for those |
gentlemen who have the matter in |
charge. There is employed a
sexton who is charged with the
intv Of keeping the walks and
irIve-ways free of grass, making
possible to 20 about the place
tit'r a heavy rain without having
!" walk ankle deep in mud and
tush. Tho Association will give
N entertainment on or about
anuary 23rd at the Auditorium.
Or the purpose Of paying their
a dinner will be
ervtd during the day. Let every
God citizen contribute their share
oward making this entertainment
financial success, and help a j
GOD cause and help make up this /
nall shortage of S13i.:3J, Those /
no wish TO bccom" members uf
