CEMETERY ASSOCIATION NEEDS FUNDS.

The Sentinel has been advised by the ladies of the Cemetery
Association that the Association is badly in need of funds, in
deed, If some money is not in hand right soon it will be neces-
sary to discontinue work that is imperative and that needs to be
done before the winter season sets in. We feel sure that that
spot Is too dear to the hearts of Grenada people for them not
to respond to the demands of the good women who, with loving
hands ana with willing minds, devote themselves so sacredly
TO the work of the Association. These women have made the
cemetery one of the prettiest in all the country and we all feel
that there Is nothing too good for this beautiful plot of ground
where dear ones have been laid away until that sweet hour
when we shall all meet ION that happy golden shore"
mere are quite a number. The Sentinel understands who
Fave not paid their annual dues. This is a matter. we are sure,
that has Just been overlooked. and all that is necessary is for
the ones who have forgotten thus far to pay. to know that their
money Is needed. For the sake of the ladies in charge of the
Association as well as the work needed to be done, we hope all
VIII take due notice and act at once. Unless this is done a
public subscription will be necessary.
