Episcopal Cemetery Improvements.
The citizens who have rela
tives and 'friends at rest there
have done a commendable
thing in cleaning off the Epis
copal cemetery, as well as the
sidewalks leading thereto.
It was a work badly needed,
and it has been done well. It
has a clean and respectable ap
pearance now. It is an exam
ple that should be immediately
followed with regard' to the
town cemetery, near the Pres
byterian church.
The terrific storm Tuesday
cf last week blew down some
trees in the cemetery, and
some damage was done. Dr;
Hackett's monument was
knocked over but not injured.
The pinnacle was thrown from
Gen. Gordon's monument, and
the iron fencing around Dr,
Stokes' tomb was badly ; torn,
up. ... ., . "

Old Uncle Horace, the
modern Demosthenes, is very
much "conflumigated" at the
way two "unsquenceable gim-
men," whom he thought were
his friends, have treated him.
He went to the store for "tar
nip seed, lie tound a pack
age with a "yellow" picture on
it, and it pleased him. He
scrumoieized" tne "signers
and appalations" on the paper,
and the "gimmen" told him it
was all right- He took them
home and sowed them and
now has "liminated" the fact
that they were onion seeds.
Horace says the boys tricked
him.
