students in attendance, at the two

Mr. Lay-field attributes this larger

and also to a more aggressive news-'

has been conducted during the sum

These popular schools observe no

■ Has the Cemetery Been Cleaned Off? ]
| The Progressive Farmer.
I Old Dr. Seaman A. Knapp used to '
| complain about the neglected appear- !
| anee of rural cemeteries. "They look i
j as if' they didn’t believe in a resur- 1
rection." lie would say.
Now. however, we are glad to say i
! that fhf* custom of having interested 1
1 people come tojg'ther cnee a year to
’clean dfT our country burying grounds
• is rapidly growing yi popularity. Vis
| iting an old country ehfrreh in the j
j writer’s home county last month, we [
! found the members slightly apologetic j
j for the .appearance of' the gruileyard ]
! (although it looked much better than I
i.most of them do). "But it will look
| all ‘right by next Sunday," we were
assured. "The members of the con
! gregatiou have already been notified
! to conic together Tuesday to clean
it off and put it in shape."
| Then, in connection with our
notices of wifi's in wiiit-h bur country
folks are getting together (see next
page), let us quote wft lit we found
Mr. K. T. CaJtles saying in a talk I
with the Yorkvillc Enquirer:
‘"Well, our people have just com
pleted the work of cleaning off Synir
jnn cemetery, a’lid liey did a mighty ■
I good job of it. There are two acres
in Smyrna cemetery, which is one
of the largest in the county, and it .
took a lot of work. We scraped the
ground and shaped up all the graves.
I I took a brow bar and straightened up
j every headstone which showed signs
/of falling down. Quite a number of [
people who have left, the community I
but Who have relatives in Smyrna i
sent contributions to aid in the work." 1
He Knew.
"I've just been looking at your last'J
sail’s suit, John." remarked Mrs. E
Spoofe. "It’s in fine condition— I
good enough for a prince to wear.” 1
"Yes." said Mr. Spoofe wisely, "and |
with tiie money I’ll save by wearing I
it I suppose you'll want to buy a new |
outfit so that I won't be ashamed of 1
you when you go out with me."
