WILL DO MORE AT LOOP. CEMETERY
Association Holds Annual Meeting at Which 0xcers are Reelected and Plans Made for Future Elf
 forts-Splendid Record.


 meeting of the Odd Fellows Gene tery Association held at the Conner cial Club office Monday night, showed their appreciation of the splendiC work done by the officers and board o1 directors in beautifying the City o1 1 the Dead, that with one accord al were ready to re-elect the same board for another year. The directors un. der whose supervision this splendid piece of civic enterprise has beer done are Mesdames Mark r. Olney | w. J. Stratton, A. k. Zachary, T. k Jones, Sr., F. R. Fried, D. J. Sossa. mon and c. L. Lochridge. After the ' reelection of the directors, this body in turn was quick to recognize that much which has been done was due to the executive ability and activity of the officers during the past year, sc the old officers were reelected as fol lows: Mrs. Mark P. Olney, presi- dent; Mrs. G. L. Lochridge, vice pres ident and Mrs. W. J. Stratton, sec retary- treasurer.
 Preceding the election of directors the officers made reports of the work done during the past year, devoting more time to the financial report than to the actual work accomplished for the latter has been open to the in. | spection of all who have passed by or visited the cemetery within the last l year. Some plans were also dis cussed for further improvements chief among which was the setting of shade trees along the main drives but | the general attitude of all present was that the directors had done the work so we'll in the past that there was little need for suggestion from the members of the association, and above all there was need for nothing but favorable criticism. The financial report for the year submitted by Mrs. w. J. Stratton was revelation to all who had not been closely in touch with the activity of the board of directors, for few had thought of the amount that had been expended, and fewer still had thought of the additional work entailed, es- peeially upon the secretary treasurer in keeping the record of the several different funds. The several ac- counts and the expenditures there under as reported by Mrs. Stratton are as follows:
