Benefit of Cemetery Association.

The entertainment given by the
ladies of Franklin on last Tues
day for the benefit of the loca
Cemetery A Association, was pat
ronized by our citizens with great
liberality, and consequently re-
suited in large financial bene-
| tit. This is as il should be. The
tender and constant care of the
resting place of our beloved dead
is a duty in which we all have a
| common interest. 1t is the most
sacred trust given to the living on
earth. Each family here have
loved ones dwelling in our silent
city of the dead, city growing
larger and larger every day. We
loved them when they We're with
with us-we mourn for them while
they are dead; and we fondly
hope to meet them again, after
the bleak night of death is passed
in that far-off spirit land. where
death comes not at all, and where
love and peace and Joy reign SUI
preme forever.
The entertainment commenced
at II o'clock, M. when dinner was
served. and almost universally
patronized. In fact nearly all the
people of Franklin closed their
houses and patronized freely the
restaurant. established for a day,
by the good and charitable ladies
of Franklin in aid of dear and
noble cause. In the afternoon the
little children were entertained.
1t was indeed lovely scene to
behold those little ones. in the
beauty and sweet innocence Of
childhood, coming forward to do
their part, and place their offerings
upon the altar dedicated to the
perpetuation of tender and loving
memories.
During the evening the play.
THE Spinsters' Convention, was
presented by amateur talent. This
was the most pleasant feature of
the entertainment. In truth it
was the best amateur performance
seen in Franklin for many years.
Its rendition was simply exquisite,
and showed a histrionic tall
ent among those who enact
ed it, susceptible of larger and
greater possibilities. All acted
their parts perfectly, from the
venerable president of the con-
vention to the aged little spinster
actress, who so sweetly and fit
tingly recited the old maids
psalm Of Marriage.
We congratulate you heartily,
young ladies'; and ii you will per-
nit US, we will freely agree with !
your conclusion that the proper
study Of single womanklnd is
man. And when you have COM
pleted your inquiry-when your
study has become a success, when !
your choice is made, may each
and every one Of you find that
man one of natures noblemen.
