NEGLECTED GRAVES.
'Poor Conrad" Makes Plea for
Better Care of Soldiers Cemetery

Editor County Record
Please allow me a little space in
The County Record. as wish to say
something about the way the little
cemetery where a number Of Con-
federate soldiers are buried is kept.
1t is sad to see how the graves Of
those heroic dead men are neglected.
| visited the place last Sunday. The
fence is broken in many places and
seems to have no gate; cattle and
other animals roam at will over the
graves of those dead soldiers who
gave their lives for the Cause that
was lost. There are other graves
there also that should be made green.
l have never given anything to help
keep the place in repair, but am
ready to do so. Think for moment,
if the widows or mothers of those
brave men could see how little is
cared for the last resting place of
their fallen comrades. would it not
make their care-worn hearts to bleed
afresh?
Let US try to do something to
beautify this small lot. The neg
lected look of the place is poor
commentary on the patriotism of
our town and it's people. P G.
