attend to the Old Cemetery.

Each year as the season recurs it is
necessary to call the attention of those
having relatives buried in the old
Methodist Cemetery to the condition
Of the lots and the whole burial ground
This is all wrong and a sad commentary
on the living, who neglect a burial
ground that was given to them without
restriction and without price. In this
cemetery are the remains OF General A.
T, A. ToFbert, U S Army Paymaster
Robert H. Clark. U. S. Navy Rev.
Trusten P. McCOlley. one Of the old
landmarks OF Methodism on this Pen
insula Trusten McColley, former U.
s. Minister to Peru Of soldiers and
statesmen Of a past age, besides the
hundreds who are OF the ordinary citi-
zens Of this and other communities
For years 1t has been suggested that a
trust fund be created, the interest Of
which should keep this cemetery in
proper order, but as yet nothing prac.
tical has come or it. A small sum is
available each year for the maintenance
Of certain lOts, but the real idea has
never been covered. Who Of the rich
women Of Milford will come forward
and place $1,000 in trust fund for the
future Of the cemetery. With $1,000 as
a starter the sum would soon grow to a
fund sufficient to keep the repairs and
care for the grounds annually We will
gladly publish the contributions each
week for this purpose.

New Century Club.

The lOdies of the Milford New Cen
tury Club braved Mondays storm and
attended the installation ceremonies
which took place at $50 p. m. The
seasons choicest flowers decorated the
beautiful club parlOr and with the
many smiling faces made a brilliant
scene, The president, Miss Syrena J.
Hall, who has graced the chair for the
past year with such dignity, presided.
In her closing address she paid a low
ing Tribute to the officers and members
and thanked them for support and co
operation this year The annual re
port Of the chairmen told OF the pros
porous condition Of the club. II the
life and character Of a club depend on
the loyalty Of its members, we feel sure
that the Milford New Century Club
has come to stay. Miss Hall, in pre-
senting the gavel to the new president,
Mrs. Welch predicted a bright future
and a year even Of greater possibilities
than the past one Mrs. Welch, in
taking the chair, responded in such a
sweet and encouraging manner that
we feel sure we have made no mistake
in choosing our new leader. The HOspi.
tality Committee served delicious re
and fingered long after the
closing hour, 10th to leave. Installa-
ton day is one Of the festive days Of
the year, and it was doubly so this year
cause Of the fact that the club debt OF
$3.50 90 was reduced to S32l.OO.

that Of Lester Harper and Frederick

against Mr.. Reed and a fine of $1,000

lines like the latter one imposed will
10 doubt have its good moral effect aud
,ssist largely in putting an end to such

There is a necessity that the water
mains should be extended along South

also that they be extented and con-
nected so as to make circulation from

tension which must be made is to con-
tinue the line out South Walnut Street,

demands for the new property already
erected, and that IS in process OF con-
structiOn. When this work is com
pleted on the part Of the Light and

make permanent improvement to the
streets especially South Walnut,
which has been awaiting for several
years the completion Of the water
mains. This entire matter is up to
