In driving by the County Normal
building recently, we notice that the
authorities in charge of said building
and grounds have,been having the six
acres of ground surrounding the build
ing plowed, dragged and all roots and

had Mrs. M. G. McCrea, the landscape
gardener lay out the grounds and
have planted large variety of
shrubbery and trees. Workmen are
still occupied with raking and leveling
the grounds, and in few years time
this will be one of the beauty spots of
Grand Rapids. This plan will be
carried out in connection with the
Witter Manual Training and Domestic
Science building and also the Lincoln

Decoration Day is near at hand and,
as we all have friends or relatives laid
away in their final resting place in the
cemeteries. it ought to be the ambi-

that place the most beautiful spot in

must all look after our own lots and
contribute our little mite to the
Cemetery Association fund, so that
no grave or lot will be neglected.
Dear reader, if you have not already
done your share in that direction, do
so at once so that those in authority
will not be handicapped with carrying
out their plans.
