Notice to the Public.
We wish to 6all attention to
the fact that the Hollis Cemetery
has been platted into Jots and
blocks, and lots are now offered

of securing such deeds at once
in order to hol(i your lot and
keep others from buying on

sexton to look after and take
care of the cemetery who will
always be found there every day
in the we«?k except Sundays.
There he can be rcached by
phone. In the future it will be
necessary to see the sexton be-
fore digging graves or making
acy'otherJmprovemehts.
