JULY
Let Us Reflect.
About one year ago Edmond was
made a city of the first class. Have
we lived up to the dignity bestowed
upon us by that act? Well, In a cer-
tain degree yes! And in a certain de-
gree NOI
In the first answer we have so far as
the improvements of our town are con-
cerned, done all in our power. We
have fixed our streets, built good walks
and many other improvements.
But on the other hand we have
seemingly forgotten that we had a
burial place, a City of The Dead. Al-
though our attention has been called
to this City of The Dead several times
within the past year, when some
of our oldest and most respectable
citizens have been placed in that Silent
City to take their last long sleep be-
neath its sacred soil; some of us have
forgotten the hallowed spot where
mother, father, son or daughter lies.
The plot of ground laid aside for
burial purposes is one of the most
sightly natural places that could have
been selected. That being the case
why not try to beautify it? If each
Individual whe has a relative buried
there, will only take an hour each
week or even each month, and walk
there and do a little work on their in-
dividual lot, much improvement can
be made.
Within the past week our attention
has been repeatedly called to the de-
plorable condition of Grace Lawn Cem-
etery. The weeds, in places are as
high as a person 's head, and the streets
in the cemetery are mere trails, weed
and grass covered. Now the worst
feature of this whole matter is the
leaving of the gates ajar. Cattle and
horses are allowed to pasture, and we
want to say right here, a person who
will knowingly allow his stock to
pasture in the cemetery Is as un-
principled as a human can get. The
first of the week the editor had oc-
casion to visit Grace Lawn and al-
most every grave, without exception,
was trampled upon by cattle, leaving
great tracks In the soft ground.
The attention of the council of this
city is called to the needs of a sextcn
or some authorized person, who can
look after the place. A lock can be
provided for the large gates and any-
one can tie their team on the outside
and walk to the interior of the plat. A
gate is provided for pedestarians on
the south side of the first Main gate,
which should be fixed with a weight so
that it will keep itself closed, and with
lock on the other larger gates it will
put an effectual stop to the grazing of
stray cattle arid horses, and, If that
method fails to work, let the city im-
pose a fine on anyone who leaves the
gates open. We should all be inter
rested in this question.
J. E. Jones and Will Biggs delivered
a nice lot of corn in Witcher last week.
One quarter of land in section eight,
