"The town of Crescent City ought to
purchase Eden cemetery and keep the
place up" said a prominent citizen TO
The News the other day. "This prop,
ertv." continued he, "belongS as | I'M
derstand it, to Mrs DR., Sprague and
have no doubt she would be willing TO
sell Many of our people own lots there,
and would like 10 see them in more
presentabIe surroundings than is now
seen in this weed grown tract. AT little
EXPENSE the town could make Eden
cemetery attractive, and this expense
would be returned TO the town with
profit from the sale of lots. There arc
no lots for sale in Palmetto cemetery
and Eden is the only place for the burial
of our dead. 1t ought not to be SO neg
lected."
