OF GRAVE CONCERN
The Commercial suggested last week that our people hold a meeting on Monday
night to arrange for decorating the graves of soldiers buried in our
cemetery, and nothing was done. Another and timely suggestion was that the
day be devoted to cleaning up the cemetery and putting it in some kind of
order. This was also neglected. The condition of the place is such that a
very sensitive corpse would want to emigrate if he should get above ground
and see how it looks.
