Help Clean Up
City Cemetery

Work was commenced yesterday
at the city cemetery and will be con
tinued until the streets OF the city
OF the dead" are put in good condi.
ton. The law provides that the own
crs OF cemeteries whether an indi-
vidual, company or society. must d.
this and it is the duty OF the county
commissioners to see that the law is
enforced.
The cleaning Of the streets Of the
cemetery is not all that is necessary,
by any means.
Lot owners should get busy and
citan up their plots A little work
on neglected graves near your own
wont hurt any. If you know the
names and addresses Of absentee
owners, write them and ask them to
send money to put their plots in bet
ter condition.
The cemetery has been neglected
so long that it is going to take time
and work to make it presentablc, but
ii all work together it can be accom-
pli>hcd without being a hardship tC
