IMPROVEMENTS MADE.
The Cemetery Association Has Made
Many Improvements In the Gem.
eiefy During past Year.


mepts in the cemetery, having plant
ed a nice lot Of maple trees along
all the drive ways, erected a new
fence around the entire cemetery,
kept all Of the walks aud drive ways
cleaned and put gravel on many Of
The walks. All Of this has been paid
for by the money collected from lot
owners who we're willing to put their
lots in the care OF the association and
pay the nominal expense Of three
dollars per year for keeping Of same.
These people should be e n
couraged in this work, and should
have the cooperation Of every per-
son who owns . lot in the cemetery
while il does not take three dollars
to keep and properly care for each
lot one year, yet there arc other i'm
provements that go to beautifv the
last resting place Of our deceased
friends and loved ones, and any sum
realized above the actual expense OF
careing for the lots, so paid on, is
used to purchase gravel for the walks
and drive ways aud make other need
ed repairs aud Improvements, aud the
just and equitable way to meet these
expenses is for each lot owner to pay
three dollars per year to have his
lot cared for aud place it in the
hands of the association and thus
not only have your lot properly NOV.
ed once or possibly twice during the
year. but have it kept every month
in the year.
The members Of the association
say that many decline TO pay the
three dollars saying that they can
keep their own lot much cheaper.
To such person We desire to say,
that had ever person felt as you
do about this matter. the cemetery
would today be out side, not a shade
tree within it, not load Of gravel
would have been put on a drive way,
aud not walk within the cemetery
would have had the grass cut out Of
IT, or gravel placed on il, and il any
Of the lots we're looked after, they
would have been cared for ono AZ q
time, and possibly not two lots in the
entire cemetery would moved during
the same week, thus leaving the gen.
eral appearance of the cemetery
about the same as il none Of us cared
for the last resting place Of our de-
ceased frieuns.
There has, and no doubt will al
ways &c loyal men and women, who
care so much for the memory Of their
deceased friends, that the cemetery
will be kept up by them, but do you
believe it is right for the place where
your deceased loved ones sleep, to be
kept up aud cared for at the expense
Of those few who regardless Of the ex-
pense are trying to beautify the entire
cemetery. Don't you want part in
the iaudsbie work Don't you think
your concience would be easier il you
contributed along with your friends
to the improvement of the entire
cemetery, instead OF keeping your
individual lot and letting few bear
the BURDEN Of the general improve.
ments that are to be made from time
to time. This is question tina,
every lot owner should ponder over
aud when you realize how selfish,
MT to say stingy. 1t is for you tc
REUSE to join in this work, we beleiv,
that every lot owner will do his or hel
full part duty and will promptly
respond to the call of the Association
to place their lot under care of tn,
association and pay the three pc
year to have it kept and in TIM
way bear their part of the genera
expense Of keeping up the cemetery
There are many who own lots upor
which no one is buried and most o
them are paying to have their lot
