done wisely in proposing that the peo-

Greenwood cemetery was never
more beautiful than now. It's ap-
pearance is credit to the Associa-
ton and to the manager of the
grounds. The trees and shrubs
and foliage and Towering plants are
pleasing to the view and the deep
green of the grass over all the
grounds is a satisfying contempla-
ton. The grounds are kept in ex-
cellent condition, the trees and
shrubs trimmed in appropriate
shape and the grass kept short. 1t
is a solemn thought-the rapid in
Sc in the population of this city
of the dead. The number of graves
there has doubled in the last twenty
years. Our thoughts are frequently
directed there-and often our foot
steps-for a part of many of us is
already buried there. Within the
last few years many beautiful and
substantial monuments have been
put up. 1t is noticeable that monu-
ments of recent erection are almost
exclusively of granite. These are
handsome and more durable than
marble.
