Some one has suggested that the ladies of the city take charge of the matter of having the cemetery (Oak land) cleaned off and kept in proper order. This is a good idea and should be acted upon at once, as some por tions of the cemetery need work. Funds for this purpose could be rais ed by means of ice cream and oyster suppers, various kinds of entertain ments, and by subscription. Will not some of the good ladies take the matter in hand and push it to success?
