TRePAssING IN CEMETERY
Children Using Burial Place Of the
Dead for Playground.
Editor of the Banner

Editor OF the BANNER
Dear Sir,-Through your paper
wish to warn parents of children liy-
ing near the village cemetery and in
the habit of playing there that unless
they stop this practice arrests will be
made and disagreeable things hap
pen. The cemetery is not a public
playground, its park is private--not
public-property. and playing there
must be stopped even II we station a
policeman to watch the grounds
This trespassing is no new thing,
but is worse now than in years be-
fore. and the children pay no heed
when the care taker speaks to them
and sends them home The injury
aside from treading down the grass,
Is serious and expensive; monuments
are defaced. ornaments broken,
stones loosened, and even thefts
committed. Anyone walking through
the cemetery can clearly see the
marks left by stones thrown by boys
and realize that until boy has pass
ed the stone throwing age he is not
fit to play there. Reports Of stolen
floral decorations placed on graves
Memorial Day have come to MS and
damage of one sort or another is
constantly heard Of.
Our society expends much money
and time to keep the cemetery neat
and attractive and very much wish
the parents of our village would CO.
operate with us by educating their
children to protect and care for this
property instead of spelling our work
by acts of vandalism. One other APP
peal to our people viii not lot
owners whose stones are crooked
and loose see that such are straigh-
tened and firmly reset? Any owners
of such stones who are unable to
put them in order are asked to tell
the officers of the society and We
viii try and do the work for them, or
at least share the expense.
Yours truly,
Jennie A. Valentine.

the June term of county court.

purpose of collecting a demand note
for $4,000. The property subject to
attachment is largely composed Of

dozen collars made up ready for ship
ment Other property attached con-
sists Of thousands of yards OF cloth

At the instance of Attorney Goner-
al Hogan, United States Senator
Pomerene came to Columbus three
weeks ago, in the vain hope that his
friendly counsel would induce Evans
to confess at this time and thus pave
the way for number of indictments
against suspected legislators.
