A visit to the cemetery last Fri
day for the purpose of putting our
family lot in shape before Memorial
Day, showed our City of the Dead to
be in fairly good--in fact extra good
condition, as compared with its APP
pearance but few years ago. But
we hope to see the day when the GEM
etery will be kept in even better con-
dition, which can be done if the men
will back the women in their work
and furnish the necessary money.

Lexington has a piece of property
which might be set in shade trees
md converted into a park-the sand
,ottom on the road to the cemetery,
'art of which is used as a dumping
,round for all sorts of refuse, which
'ractice has been condemned and for
hidden by the corporation and DELHI
rately ignored by those who choose
o so use it. The branch bottom
night be set in the many varieties
f trees which flourish in Henderson
ounty and make good shade trees

rom the Perryville road to the Dav-
