matter of considerable interest in town is
| that of new cemetery. The old grounds
| have become congested and it has been thought
| there was not room in the old one to enlarge

is suggested that one more row of lots be added
to the south side and strip added to the north
side of the cemetery. This would make an
addition of quite a number of nice dry lots and
it can be easily arranged.
