Messenger: I air, glad that you called attention to our cemetery in your last week’s addition, but wish you had said more. It is a shame to our little city the way our cemetery is neglected. If some of us had to bp buried now we could hardly find our lots for the weeds over them. Won’t the Civitan Club, the Wo man’s Club, the City Council or the Chamber of Commerce take this in hand and see that where our loved ones sleep is kept in a more decent condition? The White Way, city park and other improvements are all right. 1 am glad to see them, but why not keep our cemetery in keeping with these other things. It will cost almost as much now to clean the grounds off as it would have cost to have kepV them clean all the year. Let us get rid es this shame to our little city. A CITIZEN.
