NEW EAGLE LAKE ROUTE

The new section of Highway
20 and 81 gives direct route
to Eagle Lake. The bypass
at Vicksburg saves time and
distance. Take the first road
to the left off Highway 81
just across the Yazoo River.
This is about an hours drive
from Jackson to Eagle Lake.

So Monty and went up to look at the

1t looked like we would have to file suit
to quiet title to the graveyard. Monty said
that graveyard was still enough without
going to law make it quieter.
The old iron fence had been rusted out
and the plot was Overgrown with weeds and
dead oak stumps. 1t was full of gopher holes
or the holes were full of Gophers--whichever
way you want to look at it. The last Gopher
buried there was in 1919: the markers were

Barney WeIsh's Column

But we learned it was crime to disturb
the dead. To remove the bodies required get
ting permit from that Ole Debbil, the States
Attorney and permit from the State Health
Department. But this did not take care of the
title to the real estate.
Monty filed suit in Rockville and proved
that the graveyard had been abandoned. After
the court signed the decree which really
brought this plot of land back from the dead
into the land of the living, Monty and I
stopped into one of Mungummery Countys
bottle clubs to rlminate about Skinner Gopher
and how it was that we had frustrated his de-
sire to get around the undertakers bill.
We didn't feel too good about disturbing
the dead; and although the law was clearly
with us, we felt guilty as grave robbers at
tending to the disinterment of old and honored
Gophers and removing them from a part of
the country which they loved to re-enter them
in one of these commercial graveyards where
the grass is kept so neat it would prevent a
dead body from resting.
1t is too bad when progress gets so pro-
gressive that it disturbs the sleeping dead, but
there just didn't seem to b any other way
and all we can say is that we handled Skinner,
his three wives Fanny and Fanny No. 2 gently,
and the retarded one, Brilliant Gopher-and
we hope we put the favorite wife next to
Skinner.

Local Library Activity
Up 10 Times in Decade

Montgomery County's book
reading populace last year
borrowed 10 times as many vol
umes from the public libraries
as they did a decade ago, ac-
cording to figures released this
month by the County Depart
ment of Public Libraries.
During 1862, the department
reported, county libraries broke
all circulation records by loan
ing out more than three million
books for the first time.
The new high of 3,0O3, 857 vol
umes borrowed by adults and
school children last year COM
pares with about 305,OOO books
loaned from all libraries in the
county in 1851, the year before
they were incorporated into the
county public library system.
The tenfold increase in Ii
brary book circulation, officials
noted, is far out of proportion
to the increase in the county's
