The largest attendance for years of
the Ladies’ Cemetery Society was
held at the home of Mrs. D E. Wal-
eott Wednesday, forty being present
at the meeting. Mrs. Tom Waggon-
er of Fort Worth, was an enthusias-
tic visitor. The ladies voted to so-
licit funds for the purpose of beau-
tifying this “holy city.”
The grass and sand burs have tak-
en the cemetery until it is near
impossible to walk around in the, si-
lent city. Many of us have laid to
rest our loved ones in this city and
our interest should be shown by as-
sisting ladies in the great work. In
the busy whirl of life, let’s stop for
a moment and think how precious to
us were these who have gone their
way before us. This is their resting
place until the final resurrection.
How beautiful it would be were flow-
ers blooming over them in spring-
time, and how loyal too we might
show ourselves should we make their
temporary resting place a thing of
beauty!
The Saxons called this hallowed
spot "God’s Acre.” It should be a
beautiful place every day of the year
We loved those who have answered
the last roll call, if they were with
us we would be thoughtful enough
to keep their home beautiful, as
Mother Earth has claimed them we
should make a beautiful place where
we must shortly lie.
Shortly contributions will be ask-
ed to assist in this work. Let’s as-
sist these good women to carry out
their desires!
At a meeting of the Ladies’ Ceme-
tery Society held Wednesday, th fol-
lowing committees were appointed:

tify the cemetery—Frank J. Ford,
chairman. Mrs. R. L. Thompson. Mr’.
