GREENWOOD GENE
Terry LOT OWNERS

Some time ago we sent letters to
the lot owners, urging all who were
interested in the work being carried
on at Greenwood cemetery to send in
their dues for 1903. Immediately
quite a number responded with
checks. Others have been negligent
and we have continued caring for a
great many lots that thus far have not
been paid for. because we felt sure
that the dues would be forthcoming;
however, we can do this no longer, as
our man has to be paid weekly, and
we cannot afford to pay him for clean
ing lots that we have received no pay
for. The white stakes that were
placed on lots to be kept by the assO-
citation have been taken away from
Ian lots whose owners have not re-
sponded to the call for dues. No
doubt a great many have just forgot
ten to attend to this matter, so should
YOU want the association to resume
work on your lot, please send your
dues to our treasurer, Mrs. TOwnley
Porter. and your stake will be imme
diately replaced.
We wish to impress on everyone
who keeps his own lot that it is pos
itively against the rules Of the asso
citation for anyone to leave trash il
the walks or driveways. Please burr
or have hauled away all debris Of an!
t kind. Very respectfully,
