Cemetery improvements.

|
Through the cooperation of the gen
eral public with the efforts of the To-
cal cemetery committee, the Grants
Vile burying ground is in better con-
dition than it has been for many
year. Most of the sunken graves,
which have not had attention for a
number of years, have been filled and
sodded or seeded, rubbish has been
collected and disposed Of, grass and
weeds has been cut and burned, shrub
berry planted in advantageous places
to enhance the beauty of the grounds
generally and this, together with the
repairing of the road recently, makes
very marked difference and shows
that the silent city on the hill has not
been forgotten. The cemetery COM
mittee reports splendid cooperation
on the part of all, including many
persons living in other sections of the
country but who have loved ones at
rest here, and is deeply grateful for
the help rendered to all who so gen
erously gave it.
