good woman, loved by her many

throb with sympathy for the bereaved
husband and two little boys.
These balmy spring days carry many
of us back to the golden time when we,
too, were barefoot boys, trudging in
the furrow behind a long-eared mule;
and, as the song of the plow boy comes
to our ears from the fields, we feel the
kiss of the winds and the touch of
the fresh turned sod again. What
would the world be without these rosy
faced, glad hearted boys behind the
plows ?
Our people still find time to visit
their friends occasionally, and keep
the feeling of interest in each others’
affairs alive.

the roses bloom with a rich, rare beau
ty, and spring lovingly spreads her
green mantle to make fair their place
of rest. '
There seems to hang in the air the
delicate sweetness of the cedar and the
pine, and later on Nature’s breath will
be pregnant with the attractive per
fume of ftie honeysuckle.
This is far from being a sad or des
olate spot, except as we make it so
by neglect or indifference.
To many the pleasure of erecting
costly monuments may be and is de
nied, but there are few who cannot
spread a velvet sward above the graves
of their loved ones, and plant roses
and prune them into shapeliness.
Three, or at most, four, dollars ju
diciously expended, will keep each lot
in fine condition for twelve months.
Now, here is a proposition reiter
ated from time to time—if all who own
lots at the cemetery will rally to the
work this year, we pledge ourselves to
take care of what is left so that there
may be nothing to mar the loveliness
of this hallowed ground.
Next week, beginning Wednesday,
the three last days of April are set
apart for this work.
