new CEMETERY IS
NEARLY READY

Under the supervision of Thomas
Shone, the Improvements at the new
cemetery, donated to the town by Mil
ler & Lux, have been practically com
pleted and it is thought that the new
grounds will be available for burials
about the first of the coming month.
A plot of ground 1250x220 feet in
dimensions has been levelled off and
fenced. the gates have been hung, and
all that remains to be done is to stake
off the lots and blocks. Sections have
already been set apart for the Masons,
Odd Fellows, Eagles and Catholic
church. Many of the lotowners in the
old cemetery are making arrange
ments to disinter the remains of rela-
tives and friends and remove them to
the new site. However, until such
time as all are removed the old ceme-
terry will not be used for any other
purpose, and it will no doubt be many
years before this has been accom-
plshed.
