z. Thomas and P. w. Mitchell has
been appointed to perfect such or

The first aim after q sufficient
membership has been secured will be
to get the cemetery properly fenced
and cleaned up; and then secure a
sexton who could devote the neces-
sary time to keep it in proper con-
dition.
The need of such an organization
is sufficiently manifest and everyone
who is interested should come for
ward and render the committee what
assistance they can toward its furth-
erance. IF this were done a mem
bership fee Of ST per year would be
ample TO defray all expenses after
the much needed preliminary work
is done. Do not wait for a persons al
appeal but volunteer your assistance
in making the organization operative
as soon as possible. Due notice Of
the movement will be sent to all in
terested non-residents, and if you
know Of any such kindly give the
committee their names and addresses.

help get better roads if plans Of the
Congress of Women's Achievements
and Exposition of Science, Art and
Commerce, which opened at the Col
iseum, do not go awry. For one week
the congress will hold forth and dur
ing that time an effort will be made
to have the women lend their aid to
the better roads movement. Converts
are expected to be gathered from the
convention of the Federation of Wo'

Roads association, the international
Good Roads and Automobile Associa-
