UNSIGHTLY CONDITION OF THE
WILLIAMSSU3G CEMETERY.
A Practical Suggestion Looking to th?
Permanent Improvement of our
"City of the Dead".

i wish 10 can uucnuou mrougn
the columns of your paper to the
present condition ot the cemetery,
- located j:ist outside of the town of
Kiegstree. It is all grown up in
weeds, grass and bu-hes, and of
course showssignsofgreat neglect.
This condition might be altered for
the lime being bv calling on the
peoo'e in the community to turn
out and clean off the grounds, but
such a cleaning would only prove
momentary in effect, ami in a
short while, things wonM be in as
bad order as before.
Von can never keep a burial
ground in proper order by such a
system. This grave yard is used
bv the general public; (although
it is known as "The Old Presbyterian
Oeinetery,'*) but since the
church lias been moved to town,
and the cemetery itself enlarged
and inclosed, we have no doubt
that the Presbyterian church

and would be glad to have some
plan adopted which would secure
this end, not for a few weeks, but
for the entire year.
The manner in which we keep
the spot where sleep our dead, is
a coo.I evidence of our type ol
civilization,if not of our piety. It
is true, it is only based on sentiment,
but if a sentiment elevates
a pen pie, then it should be not
only entertained but held sacred.
We would like to see some step
taken and some plan adopted
which would result in the keepin*
of the entire cemetery in proper
order every day in the year.
Why not call the people together,
au 1 with the consent of
the nroner authorities form au

tmries here .join sanl association?

constitution and ever alter

where ever they live, to pay an

the cemetery in perpetual order.

At the beginning of each year,

The American Flag,
i J BRYANT I). II INN A NT, bl'TTOXS, 6. C.] |
I A flag may be considered an|
j emblem of the character andj
| power of a nation, or it is an ensign
ofeolors adopted as a standard
by which one nation is distinguished
from another. The flags!
of the world are many and have j
; varied significance according to
j the circumstances winch caused;
I ther.i to be adopted.
The United Colonies, struggling
! for ireeduin against oppression.!
j selected appropriate colors and
symbols to represent them on
? ~r ivi.;<?
men uitiuici in >11,11/1^. tiunv, i
I lie emblem of purity, represents
their character; red, typifies the;
blood these patriotic fathers shed
for their country; and the square
of blue, the semblance ot the
heavens, in which is set the
stars of hope.
How typical are these colors'
j and symbols of the circumstances j
j which gave the American flag its
j birth! The honor ol designing and
I making this dag belongs to a woman,
who lived in the time ol
Washington, and to him it was
presented, lie c rried it before
11lie Second Continental Congress,
I>y whom ?t was adopted in 1777.
It will this year celebrate its one
! hundred and twenty third birtlijday.
On its firs? birthday, ii
i consisted of seven red, and six
; white stripes. In the square of
blue were placed thirteen stars to
represent the 01 initial thirteen
States.
The folds of this flag then float -:
ed over a narrow stnp of land
alone the Atlantic seaboard; Iflit
1 it has enlarged its domain both
by purchase and by conquest.
1 Now this victorous banner waves
from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
and from the snowy blasts of Canada
on the north, to the sunny
' climes of Mexico. The 6tripcs
' still remain ihe same; but,year by
year as a new sister state came to
1 join the original thirteen,the nam^
ber has increased to forty-fire
' ?itars.
Not alone upon this continent
ha6 the American llug secured a
foothold; it now floats over some
islands of both the Pacific and the
Atlantic oceans. It can be said
of this flag what the glorious
kingdom of England claims of its
dominion; "Darkness never falls
upon its banner*/' The American
flag has never known defeat;
if has inspired soldiers to win
such signal victories as the gallant
Decatur's in the Mediterranean;
the heroic Jackson's at New Or !
leans; and of recent times, Dewey's
victory at Manila; and Sampson's
sinking of the Spanish squadron.
This victorious flag has made,
many a dying soldier,
"Smi!? to sec its banners fly.
In triumph over bis-closing eye.''
; The American flag is the standard
of the greatest republic on j
earth; and it represents the most
patriotic people living. It commands
the highest respect from;
all the nations under heaven. It ,
is to be hoped that this llag will j
continue to protect honest, indus j
trioiiis, liberl-ylovnijr andGod-feariniC
people.atid that foul deeds and
atrocious crimes of bigotry and
heathenism will never stain its ,
