Grave Yard Not to be Sold.
For some time there has be ;n talk
f selling the old grave yard, by the
town, and it has been twice adver
tised. It was bid off some time aao
by a citizen, who said that he bid it
off under a misapprehension, and the
Board of Town Commissioners re
leased him from his bid. It wat
thought then that this would be the
last of it, but not so.
It was advertised again to be ,sold
last Monday ,and an objection having
been raised by gome of those who
had loved ones interred therein (some
of them for over 60 years) a called
meeting of the Board was held.jto
discuss the matter, and to giV; those
opposiog the sale an opportunity to
be heard. After a full discussion? of
the matter, Geo. H. Cooper made a
motion that the sale " be called off,
and that no further acfionbe taken
in the matter. Upon a roll call there'
was a tie those voting for the mo-4
tion being MessrsCooper, Allen and

much but that a little more knowl
