Il Cemetery association which will at
| tend to this work The county bury
ing grounds, or potters field, is direct
| ~ east of Rochester cemetery, and
are in rather bad shape. The grounds
| are considerably higher than the road
! and every time there is a heavy rain
1 quantities of the earth are washed
/ down into the road, and unless some
| thing is done it is only a question of
| time until the bodies buried along the
| southern end of the grounds are ex-
| posed to view. Il is the intention of
| the cemetery association to dig down
this incline and then grade it up, max
| ing a gradual incline, after which the
! place will be seeded to blue grass and
i a handsome terrace secured as has
been done at Rochester. Rochester
| which now has one of the finest ter
races was at one time In the same
condition as the county ground. This
terrace will not only be a great i'm
provement but 1t will eventually save
!. the county something, as the way the
| ground was washing away the ma
cadam road would in time be consid-
