Our City Cemetery covers a large area of ground, but we are certain that the ladies will sustain us in the asser tion of the fact, well known to our citizens, that it is one of the best kept “Cities of the Dead” in the United States. The hedges and borders of va rious sections not attended to regularly by private parties, have lately been trimmed by the Keeper of tlie City Cemeteries, Mr. James A. Bryan, who is energetic and active in the discharge of his duties, and has a force of work men under him who take pride in their work. At the pump well on the central avenue anew pump-stock has been put in, and steps placed on each side of the platform for the convenience of ladies who use the pump. During the week the interior of the Keeper’s office has been renovated. It would be a great advantage if a larger and more convenient office were pro vided —one that would be a credit to such an extensive cemetery. Since a regular watchman —Mr. Fee Wilson — has been employed, the pilfering of choice flowers and shrubs from favor ite bushes has ceased, and the ladies now feel that the plants about the graves of clear friends, attended to with so much care, are secure from the hands of thoughtless persons.
