THE CITY OK THE DK V1V
Caro for our dead is a proper
consideration at any time when
there is something wo may do.
Occasionally a family cas' their
lot among us. distant from the old
home. Roberta has no cemetery
forthe acemmodat'on for these peo
pie It seemsto be a duty of the leud
ing citizens in conjunction
the “City Fathers” to inaugerat”
some move that wi’l secure to
thos- J who come among us from a
distance a burial place for their
lead. The subject does not p^\>
sent itself with so much force to
the old fnmilies who have been
here for half a century and huve
their bnrying groquds in which
are already interred tmny loved
ones but to the new comer, in a
great many instances, the ques¬
tion arises, Whut shall we do with
our dead when death calls. Sen¬
timent rules the worhi and ever
has and ever will. Tqe dead are
v itli us and to be c tred for m cue
ftoothsr way. Let a spirit tf
p.csent need assert itself just now
and wake us up to a sense of pres¬
ent pressing responsibility to such
degree of enthusiasm that this
lackQ may be speedily remedie
that we may show to the stranger
within our gates that we care for
their sorrows as well as their joys. 1
We trust that, this snbject will
not be idly brushed aside as you
would a cob web.
