CEMETERY COMMITTEE
Makes An Appeal for Support In
Work.

Three dollars and fifty cents and two
aprons have been received since our
last appeal five weeks ago.
When these necessary improvements
were begun in July the committee
thinking that this work would meet
with the approval of everyone advanced
the money needed at once nearly 500.
Out of the hundreds interested in the
cemetery just % have contributed in
any way towards meeting this expense.
Yet everyone knows that such work
takes money. There is more work that
must be done in the spring. Yet how
can we go further if money cannot be
obtained for what is already done?
We have made no personal appeals as
yet, hoping for voluntary contributions.
Surely, no one would want our cemetery
to be again as it was a few years ago!
We need your support. Please help US.
