A Good Suggestion.
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?
