BEETOWN.
(Too late for last week.


The annual meeting of the Beetown
cemetery association was held in the
town hall on the afternoon of June
goth and very few people attended.
To have so little interest taken is in
deed discouraging to the few who are
trying to keep the cemetery cared for
as it should be. Just a little help
from everyone who has people buried
there-$1 a year or more if you can
give it-would keep another little city
of the dead neat and we'll kept. The
matter of building a tool house at the
cemetery was discussed Some lum-
Der and help was promised but more
is needed. Earnest effort and coop
Grafton will accomplish much; let us
see to it that this building is up be-
fore winter. The annual reports will
soon be sent out. If your name is
not on the membership roll and should
be there, someone else is paying for
the work done on your lot. No graves
are neglected but we cannot keep up
this work without funds Help us if
you can.
