After much strenuous effort on the part OF
! interested persons, and much vexatious delay,
fence has been received and stored Tor the
; cemetery at Citypoint, and will be put in posi-
/ ton as early as possible This fence has been
an absolute necessity for some time, as the
present fence has been SO badly broken and
delapitated that it has afforded no protection
whatever to the enclosure.
Beverly Staples has been busily employed
during the winter in getting out and hauling
the lumber for completing his house at City
point, the L. and barn having been built last
fall. He will begin on the main house as soon
as the frost is out and expects to have fine
set of buildings finished during the early
summer.

fore Belfast audience Friday evening" when
